Power User: Using Tag Binders with Groups

Overview

When you use tags to organize your groups in Connection Card Pro, the Tag Binders feature becomes an incredibly useful way to view everything associated with a specific tag — across all groups and tag categories.

This document will show you how to access the Tag Binders section, navigate through your tags, and view all groups linked to a particular tag.

This guide focuses on groups only. A broader version of Tag Binders will be covered in the system-wide tagging documentation.

What Is a Tag Binder?

A Tag Binder is like a folder for each tag. When you open a tag’s binder, you’ll see a list of all groups that share that tag — no matter what group type they are (Department, Division, Class, Small Group, Crew, or Team).

This is especially helpful for:

Viewing all groups tied to a project or campaign
Finding all groups tagged by language, neighborhood, or life stage
Creating filtered exports or reports
Auditing tag use and consistency

Where to Find the Tag Binders Page

Go to the Organization menu
Click Tag Binders

You’ll see a categorized layout of all available tag types and tags.

Navigating the Tag Binders Page

The page is organized visually into folders, grouped by tag type:

Public Tags and Custom Tags

Appear grouped by Category (e.g., Stage of Life, Language)
Click a Category folder to see all tags within it
Click a Tag folder to open its binder

Project, Fundraiser, and Purpose Tags

These types don’t use categories — each tag appears as its own folder

Note: This help doc focuses on binders for Groups. Other item types (Events, People, Transactions) will appear in the binder but are outside the scope of this document.

What’s Inside a Group Tag Binder?

When you open a tag’s binder, you’ll see:

A list of all Groups that have been assigned that tag
The type of each group (e.g., Small Group, Class, Team)
Clickable links to view or edit the group
Options to filter or export the list (coming soon, if not already enabled on your account)

Use this to:

Audit which groups are part of a campaign or ministry area
Check if tags are applied consistently
Quickly open multiple groups tied to a common label

Tips for Tag Binder Organization

Use Tag Categories to group related tags (especially for Public and Custom Tags)
Avoid duplicate or ambiguous tag names
Use consistent naming conventions across ministries
Archive or remove unused tags if binders become cluttered

Use Cases for Group Tag Binders

Use Case	Example
Ministry Oversight	View all groups tagged with “Discipleship”
Semester Tracking	See all groups tagged “Fall 2024”
Public Directory Matching	Find all public groups with “Childcare Provided”
Audit Group Tag Coverage	See which groups are missing a specific tag
Cross-Group Projects	View all groups connected to “Outreach Weekend”

What If a Group Doesn’t Appear in a Binder?

Double-check:

That the group has been assigned the correct tag
That you’re viewing the right tag type and category
That filters or visibility restrictions aren’t hiding the group (e.g., inactive)
