# Add applicant tags

Quickly locate applicants in your applicant list using tags.

Applicant tags are custom labels that you can create and then add to applicant profiles for better filtering and classification.

# Create and assign tags

To create a tag:

1. In the Dashboard, go to the [Applicant tags](https://cockpit.sumsub.com/checkus/sdkIntegrations/globalSettings/general/tags) tab and select **Create tag** at the bottom of the tag list.
2. Provide a name for the new tag and select a tag color.
3. Select the **Include tag to applicant summary report** checkbox if you want to see tags in [your reports](https://docs.sumsub.com/sumsub/docs/view-summary-report).

Once the tag is created, you can assign it to any of your applicants:

1. In the Dashboard, go to the [Applicants](https://cockpit.sumsub.com/checkus#/applicants/individual?limit=10\&page=0) page and open an applicant profile.
2. Click **Add tag** at the top of the profile page and select tags to add.

> Alternatively, you can use [this API method](/reference/adding-custom-applicant-tags) to add tags.

  ### Note

  Adding or removing an applicant tag is recorded as an event on the applicant profile.&#x20;

  1. Open the applicant and go to the **Events** tab of the timeline.
  2. Look for the **Tag added**/**Tag removed** rows, which show the affected tag name(s).&#x20;

  Tags assigned automatically by a workflow action during an action run appear there too.
