![]() ![]() Internal hyperlinks (included in the free download). ![]() I use List Title Tags and Workflow Tags all day, every day… but I also make use of 5 other fantastic ways of navigating around WorkFlowy, no matter what list you’re in: So if you’re buried deep in a list and you wanted to search a tag globally within WorkFlowy without first going back to the home screen, there is rawbytz’s WorkFindy utility (bookmarklet and Chrome extension), so it can be used in any browser, including on mobile. Search a tag from anywhere in your account with “WorkFindy”Ĭlicking on tags filters downstream, not upstream (up a hierarchy). That’s why any tag anywhere on your home screen filters your entire WorkFlowy. Tags filter “downstream” (children lists), even in sibling (adjacent) lists, so you don’t have to have your tag in the exact parent list of a child list you want to locate.If you search for a tag as opposed to clicking on it, we have the Tag Helper Menu thingy.You can diversify your strategy since we have and “#” tag nomenclature.You can build custom “menus” (as seen in the video).I love that they show a hierarchy of parent lists when filtered for.They can be removed by exploding (Alt+Click).They cut down on clutter and tend towards a minimalist environment.You can convert any keyword(s) in your list to a tag.They have replaced the list titles themselves, and given me a minimalist interface through which to get anywhere I need within my one zoomable document with ridiculous ease. You can also convert a keyword in your parent or child list into a tag by prefixing it with “#” or You’ll see that I’ve gone a step further and created an index of tags on my home page, each of which represent either an important part of my workflow or a full-blown project or database I need to access at the drop of a hat.Now just click on its bullet.Ībove I’m fast tracking to a list of interviewees for blog posts. That way, when you click on your “List Title Tag” on the home page (or wherever), the child list you want gets filtered for.You add a unique tag to the parent list wherever it might be and the same unique tag to any child list downstream that you’re wanting to get to.These 2 brief chapters will give you a crystal clear understanding of the dynamics I’m going to be showcasing today. I’m going to give you a quick show and tell below, but also do go ahead and download these 2 chapters from my book, just for making it past the intro and the video. It’s no coincidence that I wrote about this in my very first post in this space. ![]() This is the little tip that goes a looong way. List title tags and workflow tags – a brief explanation I think the use of tags as demonstrated in the video is a clear contender. Yes… I want to have my cake and eat it.īasically, Lea Verou is looking to add quick-access shortcuts to parent lists right from her home page, so that she can reach any children list(s) therein in a snap – no matter how deep they might be. And bury my lists as deep as I want, I must. No matter how phenomenal WorkFlowy’s zoom, there’s no way I’m about to zoom in 1 bullet at a time to get to a list buried 7 or more layers deep. I’ve put together a little video to showcase the incontestable speed and versatility of (1) Workflow Tags and (2) List Title Tags in getting to those far, far away lists, faster than you can say supercalifragilisticexpialidocious… literally. This post is my response to Lea’s tweet… and then some. About a quarter of a moon ago I happened upon this tweet by Lea Verou, a veritable rock star in the world of CSS: ![]()
