Organize tasks and processes into folders

Organizing work with folders and tags

You can organize work in Tallyfy using two separate folder systems and tags. This page covers the Task/Process Folders you’ll use in the Tasks and Tracker views.

Two folder systems

Tallyfy has two completely separate sets of folders:

  1. Template Folders - used only in the Templates library to organize master templates. Learn more here.
  2. Task/Process Folders - used only in the Tasks and Tracker views to organize active work (running processes and individual tasks).

They’re independent systems. For example:

  • Template Folder: HR Templates > Onboarding
  • Process Folders: Active Onboardings - Sales Team, Active Onboardings - IT Team

Using tags

Tags work alongside folders as flexible labels for tasks and processes.

  • Tagging Processes: Open the process, click the menu, and select Add Tags.
  • Filtering by Tag: Use the Tag filter in both Tasks and Tracker views.

Tags let items belong to multiple categories at once - a task could be tagged “Urgent” and “Client A”. You can’t place an item in multiple folders.
