Tags are visible from the Restaurant Diary view and are applied to both bookings and customer profiles. The Now Book It system features a set of common default tags, but you can also customise these or create your own. To modify your tags: 1. Go to your Restaurant Diary menu \> Settings \> Tags. 2. Use the arrows next to each status icon to adjust the order in which it appear in your diary menu. Keep frequently used tags closest to the top. 3. If a slider is present next to a status icon, this means that it can turned on and off. 4. If a pencil is available next to a status icon, it can be edited. 5. Select the + button to add a new Tag. ![90-1](https://help.nowbookit.com/hs-fs/hubfs/90-1.png?width=688&height=148&name=90-1.png) 6. Select the tag Type from the drop down menu (this is just a way to catogrise your tag). 7. Select an icon of your choice. Ignore the existing name next to the icon as this is a suggestion only—you can rename it here. 8. Select the colour that you would like the icon to be. 9. Create a new name for you tag. 10. Select **Online** if you want this tag to appear as a tick box option to customers bookings via the online widget. Do not select this option if the tag is intended for internal use only. 11. Select **Permanent** if you want this tag to remain on the customer record on a permanent basis (such as a No Show or VIP). Do not make occasion-specific tags, such as Birthday, permanent options as they will not be relevant to each booking that the customer makes. 12.
