Tags in ClickFlare allow you to label, organize, and manage elements across your account.
They provide a flexible way to filter reports, group campaigns, and structure data, especially useful for large accounts and upcoming AI-powered features.
Tags can be assigned during element creation or in bulk from any reporting or list view.
What Are Tags Used For?
Tags help you:
-
Organize campaigns and other elements logically
-
Filter and segment data in reports
-
Manage large accounts more efficiently
- Cross-campaign analysis
-
Add structured context for ClickFlare AI
A single element can have multiple tags, and the same tag can be reused across different elements.
When to Use Tags
Tags are best used whenever you want to group, analyze, or manage campaigns without changing your actual setup. Some examples include:
-
Funnel stage tags (TOF, MOF, BOF, retargeting etc)
- Test vs scale tags (to avoid editing profitable campaigns by mistake)
- Different campaign angles (discount, free trial, UGC, testimonial)
These are just a few simple examples, but you can adapt these tags to fit your own needs.
Elements That Support Tags
Tags can be assigned to the following elements in ClickFlare:
-
Campaigns
-
Traffic Sources
-
Landers
-
Offers
-
Affiliate Networks
-
Flows
This allows you to group data across different entity types, not just campaigns.
Adding Tags When Creating or Editing an Element
When creating or editing any supported element:
-
Open the element setup window
-
Add one or more tags in the Tags field
-
Save the element
The tags are immediately applied and available for filtering and reporting.
Managing Tags in Bulk (From Reports & List Views)
You can also create, assign, or remove tags in bulk directly from any list or reporting view (for example, Campaigns).
How Bulk Tagging Works
-
Select one or more elements using the checkboxes
-
Click the Tag icon in the top action bar
-
The tag action becomes available only when at least one element is selected
-
-
The Edit Tags panel opens, showing all existing tags
-
Use the search field to:
-
Find existing tags
-
Create new tags
-
-
Click Done to apply changes
All selected elements are updated at once.
Understanding Tag States (Checked, Minus, Unchecked)
When managing tags in bulk, each tag can have three possible states:
✅ Checked
The tag is assigned to all selected elements.
➖ Minus (Indeterminate State)
The tag is assigned to some, but not all, of the selected elements.
-
Clicking the minus icon will turn it into a checkmark
-
This assigns the tag to all selected elements
⬜ Unchecked
The tag is not assigned to any of the selected elements.
-
Clicking it assigns the tag to all selected elements
-
Clicking again removes the tag from all selected elements
This makes it easy to standardize tags across many elements with a single click.
Creating Tags
Tags can be created:
-
During element creation or editing
-
From the bulk tag panel using the tag icon
Once created, tags are reusable across all supported elements.
Viewing Tags in the Tags Column
List and reporting views include a Tags column, which shows:
-
All tags assigned to each element
-
Multiple tags per element (displayed as labels)
This allows you to quickly see how campaigns and other elements are categorized.
Filtering Reports Using Tags
After tags are assigned, you can:
-
Filter reports by one or more tags
-
Combine tag filters with other dimensions (country, device, traffic source, etc.)
-
Quickly isolate specific campaign groups
This is especially useful for:
-
Vertical-based reporting
-
Workflow management (e.g. testing vs scaling)
-
Comparing performance across tagged segments
