Create and manage Objectives tags

Tags let you organize objectives around shared themes — such as company initiatives, KPIs, or priority levels — independent of team hierarchy. Enabling tags adds a Tags tab to Objectives settings where you create and manage all available tag values.

Before You Begin

• You must be an Account admin.
• The Objectives feature must be active in your account.
• The Tags tab only appears after you enable the Objectives tags toggle in the Settings tab.

Enable Objectives tags

1. Click the Settings gear in the bottom-left corner of your 15Five account.
2. Select Features from the dropdown menu.
3. Click Objectives.
4. Click the Settings tab.
5. Locate the Objectives tags section.
6. Toggle Objectives tags to On.
7. Click Save.

The Tags tab now appears in the Objectives settings navigation.

Create a tag

3. Click Objectives.
4. Click the Tags tab.
5. Click Create new tag (or the equivalent add button).
6. Enter a tag name in the text field.

The tag is now available for users to apply when viewing or editing any objective they have permission to access.

Rename a tag

1. Navigate to Settings > Features > Objectives > Tags.

Objectives already using the old name update to the new name automatically.

Archive a tag

1. Navigate to Settings > Features > Objectives > Tags.

Objectives already using the archived tag retain it, but the archived tag is no longer available when creating or editing new objectives.

Unarchive a tag

1. Navigate to Settings > Features > Objectives > Tags.
2. Check the Show archived tags checkbox.
3. Locate the archived tag (labeled Archived).
4. Click Unarchive.

The tag is immediately available again when creating or editing an objective.
