We heard you loud and clear—customization is key when it comes to planning flawless events. That’s why we’ve taken our Tailored Timelines and Checklists to the next level!
Introducing the Custom Timeline & Checklist Tags Feature, designed to give you the power to create fully personalized timelines and checklists for anyone involved in your event.
What Does This Feature Do?
In addition to the standard timelines you know and love (Full Timeline, Vendor, Venue, Wedding Party), you can now:
✅ Create Custom Tags (e.g., “Guys,” “Ladies,” “Ceremony,” “Reception,” “Family Photos,” etc.)
✅ Assign Custom Tags to specific timeline items or checklist tasks
✅ Instantly Generate Tailored Timelines & Checklists for any custom group
✅ Reuse Custom Tags when using a previous timeline or checklist
This feature offers greater flexibility and control, making it easier to create hyper-specific, personalized schedules for your clients, vendors, and team.
How It Works
1. Create a Custom Tag
You can create custom tags in two ways:
Timeline View: Click the “+” icon in the Timeline Types section (top-right) or scroll to the bottom of your timeline to add a custom type.
Checklist View: Click the “+” icon in the Checklist Types section (top-right) or scroll to the bottom to add a custom type.
For example:
“Guys” for groomsmen tasks
“Ladies” for bridesmaids schedules
“Ceremony” for all ceremony-related items
2. Assign Your Custom Tag
Once created, you can assign the custom tag to any item:
Edit View: Open an item, and select your custom type under the Assignments section.
Assign View (Power User Tip!): Quickly assign your custom tag to multiple items at once for faster editing.
3. Generate a Tailored Timeline or Checklist
Once your custom tags are assigned, you can generate a timeline or checklist PDF that shows only the items tagged with that custom type. Perfect for providing tailored information to the right people without overwhelming them with extra details.
4. Reuse Custom Tags in Future Timelines
This is the real magic:
When you reuse a previous timeline or checklist (using Start with a Previous Timeline), all your custom tags and their item assignments will automatically carry over into the new event!
Example:
If you create a “Guys” tag for a timeline and assign it to 10 items, those assignments will carry over when you reuse that timeline for a future event.
Pro Tip: Using the Assign View
If you’re assigning a custom tag to a large number of items, the Assign View is your best friend:
Quickly apply your custom tag to multiple items at once.
Saves time compared to opening and editing individual items.
Popular Use Cases from Real Planners
✅ Bridal Party Schedules: Create separate timelines for Guys and Ladies.
✅ Ceremony vs. Reception: Easily filter items for just the ceremony or reception when needed.
✅ Family Photo Group: Generate a timeline just for the family who needs to be there for photos.
✅ Cultural & Multi-Day Events: Perfect for South Asian, Jewish, or destination weddings that require separate timelines for different ceremonies.
