# Study tags

[Tags](/private-panels/organization-settings/private-panels-tagging-management.md) are used to link studies to certain topics or clients. In some cases, your team might require different panelists for different studies, or they might want the same panelists for different studies. You can add **Tags** to a Study, then use them as filters for these instances. Follow the steps below for more details.

## Adding Study Tags

Adding **Study Tags** can be done within the **Study Settings** sub-page of a study. From here, follow the steps below:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Scroll down to the **Tags** section, then click the **Add Tag** button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
If the tag is existing, click it from the drop-down list and it will automatically be assigned to the study. If not, click **+ Create Study Tag**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
A dialog box will pop up at the top of your screen. Type the study tag on its textbox, then click the **OK** button.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
The tag will then be created and assigned to the study.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Filter by Client

Once you've added the study tags, you can filter by client in **Panel Panelists** by clicking the **+ Add Filter** button. Then, follow the steps below:

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Select **Study Tag** or **Exclude Study Tag** from the drop-down options if you'd like to view or filter out panelists by client, respectively.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
A drop-down list of study tags will appear. Tick the checkbox beside the tag that you'd like to use for the filter.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
The filter condition will update based on your selection, then the panelists list will update based on this. For example, if the filter condition is **Exclude Study Tag is Hagen/Sinclair**, the list will only show panelists that are not included in any study tagged with Hagen/Sinclair.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/private-panels/panel-management/study-tags.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
