Using Tags Effectively in AirHub

1.1 Overview

Tags in AirHub provide a simple yet powerful way to organize your missions.
They act as flexible labels that make it easier to group, filter, and report on flights, especially when managing large volumes of operational data across multiple teams.

While tags can be added manually when creating or editing a mission, their true value lies in how you use them to structure and analyze your operational records. See this article on how to manage your tags.

1.2 Why Use Tags

Tags help you bring order and clarity to your mission data. They are especially useful for:

• Project tracking – Group missions that belong to the same project or client.

• Operational reporting – Generate quick overviews or CSV exports for specific categories of missions.

• Audits and compliance – Filter logbooks by mission type, client, or location to demonstrate operational records.

• Performance insights – Identify patterns, such as how many training or inspection missions were flown in a given period.

• Internal coordination – Help teams quickly locate missions related to their area of work without sorting through irrelevant data.

1.3 Example Use Cases

Here are a few examples of how organizations commonly use tags in AirHub:

Public Safety Teams

• Tag missions by incident type such as Fire Response, Search and Rescue, or Traffic Monitoring.

• Quickly review all emergency response missions from a specific time period in the Logbook.

Inspection Companies

• Use tags like Bridge Inspection, Solar Field, or Wind Turbine to categorize flight operations.

• When exporting data, filter by tag to create client-specific reports.

Training Departments

• Assign tags such as Student Flight, Instructor Demo, or Certification Check.

• Filter by tag to track total training hours or monitor student progress.

Enterprise Operations

• Tag missions by department (e.g., Engineering, Security, Media) or region (North, South).

• Create structured overviews for managers or compliance teams during audits.

1.4 Tags and Logbook Insights

All tags are directly tied to missions and can be used as filters in your Logbook.
This makes it easy to extract specific sets of missions without manually searching.

For example:

• Filter by Wind Farm Project to see every flight logged for that site.

• Combine tags with date filters to analyze operational activity per quarter.

By applying consistent tagging across all missions, your Logbook becomes a powerful reporting tool that supports both operational insight and compliance management.

1.5 Best Practices

To get the most value out of tags:

• Define a tagging convention across your organization (e.g., project name, client, or activity type).

• Avoid duplicates or overly similar names like Inspection vs. Inspections.

• Use consistent casing and spelling (e.g., all lowercase or all capitalized).

• Clean up unused tags periodically to keep your workspace organized.
