How to manage tags and sources

Admin permission is required to access the Data Manager. You can save up to 250 tags and 250 sources, and can lock settings so only admins can add new tags and sources.

Creating tags and sources

  1. Click the gear icon ⚙️ in the left sidebar.

  2. Click Recruiting Preferences.

  3. Click Data Manager in the left sidebar.

  4. Click the text box by Tags or Sources.

  5. Enter the name of the new tag you’d like to create, up to 256 characters.

  6. Click + Tag or + Source.

Note: If your lists exceed the limit of 250 tags or sources, you’ll need to delete enough entries to bring the list below the maximum before creating new ones.

Deleting tags and sources

  1. Click the gear icon ⚙️ in the left sidebar.

  2. Click Recruiting Preferences.

  3. Click Data Manager in the left sidebar.

  4. Search or scroll to find the correct tag or source.

  5. Click the delete icon (trash can) next to the tag or source.

  6. Click Delete to confirm.

Note: When you delete a tag or source in the Data Manager, it’s deleted across the entire Breezy account and removed from candidate profiles, but will still be reflected in historical reporting data. If you just want to remove a tag or source from one candidate, you can do that from their candidate profile.

Locking tags and sources

By default, Hiring Managers can create new tags and sources for positions and candidates they’re assigned to. These tags and sources are saved across the Breezy account so other Hiring Managers can use them, and they count toward the limit of 250 tags or sources. Users won’t be allowed to create new tags if the limit has been reached.

If you’d like to standardize tags and sources and prevent users from creating new ones, you can lock them in the Data Manager. Locking tags and sources limits users to choosing from a list maintained by admins.

Tag and Source locking are available to customers on Business and Pro plans

To lock tags or sources:

  1. Click the gear icon ⚙️ in the left sidebar.

  2. Click Recruiting Preferences.

  3. Click Data Manager in the left sidebar.

  4. Go to Tags or Sources and click the toggle to Limit to List.

When tags and sources are locked, only admins can add new tags in the data manager.
