# Creating Tags
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.
{% hint style="info" %}
Tags created from the Transactions or Rules page will only be created by name. The tags will not have a description or a color assigned. If you wish to add a description or set a color scheme, you can update the tags via the [Tags](https://my.lunchmoney.app/tags) page afterwards.

## How to create tags via the Transactions page
### In the transactions table
From the [Transactions](https://my.lunchmoney.app/transactions/) page, you can add new tags directly from the table by clicking on any empty cell under the ‘Tags’ column and typing a new tag name:
### In the ‘Transaction Details’ panel
You can also add new tags from the ‘Transaction Details’ panel by clicking into the ‘Transaction Tag(s)’ field and typing a new tag name:
### With a CSV import
Tags can also be created when [uploading a CSV file](https://my.lunchmoney.app/transactions/import) containing a ‘tags’ column. This means that you can easily upload automatically tagged transactions, whether the tag(s) already exist in Lunch Money or not.
If the tag name in the CSV file doesn’t already exist in your Lunch Money account, a new tag will be created automatically. If the tag name already exists, the transaction will be assigned the existing tag.
## **How to create tags via the Rules page**
On the [Rules](https://my.lunchmoney.app/rules) page, when creating and editing rules with the “Add tags” action, you can add a new tag by clicking the ‘Set tags’ field and typing a new tag name:
