Click Save to create the tag.
Step 3: Display Magic Tags in a Custom View
Custom views allow you to see Magic Tags directly in your portfolio lists.
- Go to your Portfolio Overview
- Click Custom View
- Select the columns you want to display, including your Magic Tags
- Use the arrow button to add them to the view
- Enter a View Name and an optional description
- Choose whether this should be your Default View

Your new view will now display standard columns (like active units) along with your Magic Tags.
Step 4: Add or Edit Magic Tags on Properties
Once a tag is created, you can apply it to individual properties.
- Open the specific Property
- Scroll to the top and select the Magic Tags tab
- Enter or update values for each Magic Tag
- Click Save
When you return to your portfolio view, the updated Magic Tag values will be visible.

Step 6: View and Edit Lease Magic Tags
To apply tags to individual leases:
- Go to Leases
- Open a lease and scroll to the Magic Tags section

This allows you to track custom details directly within your reports.
