Alicia and Dan explain the retirement of the Tags feature in QuickBooks Online and outline the critical migration process to Custom Fields before the May 15th deadline. They break down why this change matters, explore the differences between tags and custom fields, and share creative ways businesses utilized tags for tracking everything from weather impacts on sales to customer categories. The hosts detail important limitations of the new system while offering practical workarounds for maintaining your reporting capabilities during and after this significant transition.
