Creating new tags is possible from the Tags page, or when creating and updating transactions and rules. If you have a list of tags that you wish to create in advance, it’s easier to add them all via the Tags page directly. If you wish to create tags on the go, you can do so while creating or updating transactions or rules.

Open the page
Click on "Add a new tag"
In the table, enter a tag name (required) and a description (optional)
