Tags are a great way to assign attributes to events created in Involve! Tags can describe the attributes of an event such as "Food", "Music", or "Prizes". They can also be based on overarching events such as a "Week of Welcome" or "Homecoming". Using tags is a great way to help with analyzing data from events in order to gain perspective on what event attributes may be most intriguing or popular among students.
Note: Only Campus Administrators can create new tags! If you are not a Campus Administrator, please reach out to your Campus Admin for assistance.
1. From any screen, hover over the left navigation menu and click on Events.

3. Click on the "Create" button located in the far right corner:
4. Now it's time to create your new Tag! After you click on the Create button, a pop up window will appear. Enter your Tag exactly how you want it to appear. Click "Create" and a new Tag is born!

Open a Calendar Feed for a Tag
Use a tag’s calendar feed to share events with that tag in an external calendar.
- Go to Admin → Events → Tags.
- Open the actions menu for the tag.
- Select Open calendar feed.
- Copy the feed URL for use in your external calendar’s subscription settings.
The feed opens in a new tab. Depending on your browser, it may download a calendar file.
Note: Renaming a tag changes its URI. Anyone subscribed to that tag’s calendar feed must update their subscription URL.
To filter by host organization or combine organization and tag filters, see Event Calendar Integrations.
