General
Each tag type will display a live count of how many tags exist under it, helping you make informed decisions about which to include.
Differences for Members vs. Admins
Members: They will only see the selected quick filter chips when adding meals. This streamlined view helps them focus on the most relevant tags.
Admins: You will see both the quick filter chips and the legacy power-user chips (like "Not on a plan" and "Top Rated"). This allows you to manage meal plans effectively while still having access to advanced filtering options.
Tag Chip Limitations
Keep in mind that each tag type can render up to 10 alphabetical tags as chips. Any additional tags will remain accessible inside the full filter panel. If a tag type has no tags, it will be silently skipped and not displayed.
Practical Recommendations
To make the most of the quick filter chips, consider the following tips:
Select 1-3 Tag Types: Choose the tag types that your members care about most. Commonly, Meal Type and Dietary are popular choices.
Keep Tag Names Short: Shorter tag names make the chips cleaner and easier to read.
Curate Tags Before Activation: Take the time to organize and curate your tags before enabling this feature. A well-organized chip row will be more helpful than a cluttered one.
Empty State Behavior
If a tag type has no tags associated with it, that tag type will be silently skipped in the quick filter chips. This ensures that members only see relevant options.
