How to Create Custom Codes and Tags

Adding new codes (Columns) and Tags in Tables

Latest Update: 10-2-2026

Planera allows you to create as many custom codes (fields) and tags as you like, just like adding columns in a spreadsheet in each of the 5 tabs of the Table.

Creating codes and tags can enable you to filter and view the project in many useful ways - Read about it here.

Each project has two custom fields pre-populated in the codes section of the Table - Location and Job Type. You can create and remove as many as you need.
