## Filter records by tag

You can filter records on a table by tags you have access to.

### Before you begin

Role required: none

### Procedure

1.  Filter records by tag in any of the following ways.

<table id="choicetable_fnf_gvq_fs"><tbody><tr><td id="d61605e113">

**Filter from the form view**

</td><td>

Select the more options icon \(\[Omitted image "IconUI16MoreOptions.png"\] Alt text: More options icon.\), and then select the tag in the menu that opens. A new tab or window opens and displays a list of records that contain the tag.

</td></tr><tr><td id="d61605e131">

**Filter from the list view using the __Tags__ column**

</td><td>

With the **Tags** column visible, select the tag name. Selecting two or more tags filters the tags together with the AND operator and shows records containing all the selected tags.

</td></tr><tr><td id="d61605e146">

**Filter from the list view using the list filter**

</td><td>

Select the show/hide filter icon \(\[Omitted image "Icon-Condition\_builder\_UI15.png"\] Alt text: Show or hide a filter.\), select **Tags** from the field list and enter the tag name.

</td></tr></tbody>
</table>
## View tagged documents

### Before you begin

Role required: none

### About this task

An administrator can configure the fields that appear on the tagged document cards by configuring the mobile view of the task, for example, the mobile view of the Incident form. If there isn’t a mobile view available for the page, the record reverts to the default view. For more information, see [Create and delete views](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ServiceNow/ServiceNowDocs/brazil/markdown/platform-user-interface/create-delete-view.md).

### Procedure

1.  Navigate to **All** &gt; **Self-Service** &gt; **My Tagged Documents**.

2.  Select **Show Global Tags** to display global tags.

3.  Perform one of the following actions.

<table id="choicetable_gmj_pjw_fs"><tbody><tr><td id="d61605e257">
