In facilities with multiple users, accidentally using the wrong Metrc tag or using a tag twice can easily happen. The Tag Owners setting helps prevent these errors by allowing you to assign specific tags to individual users. This ensures accuracy and efficiency while maintaining your team's workflow. This article explains how to activate this setting and assign tags.
Note: Only Admin users can enable tag assignments, but any user can assign tags once the feature is enabled.
Enabling the Tag Owners Setting
1. Hover over the account name in the top right corner of your account and select Account Settings from the drop-down
2. In Account Settings, scroll to check the Use Tag Owners box, then click Update GrowFlow Account
Note: Once you enable this setting, you must assign tags to users for the tags to become active in your account.
Tag Tool Overview
Now that you have the Tag Owners setting enabled on your account, you can start Assigning tags to different users! First, let’s take a look at the tag tool itself.
1. On the Inventory Overview and click Tags
Tag Tool Features:
Search: Search for users or tag numbers.
Filter by Tag Range: View or assign specific tag ranges.
Filter by Owner: View tags assigned to specific users.
Plants Tab: Displays assigned, unassigned, and used plant tags.
Packages Tab: Displays assigned, unassigned, and used package tags.
Upload Tab: Upload Metrc tags (see our Metrc Tag article for details).
Assigned Tab: Displays plant/package tags assigned to users.
Unassigned Tab: Displays plant/package tags awaiting assignment.
Used and Voided Tabs: Display used or voided tags.
Assigning Tags to Users
1. Check the boxes next to the tag numbers you wish to assign. For assigning a range of tags, use the Filter by Tag Range option, select the range, and then check the top-most checkbox to select all tags within that range.
2. Click the Edit Owner button
3. From the Select from GrowFlow Users dropdown, choose the user to whom you're assigning the selected tags. You can also type the user's name to search.
Note: Use Clear Name to unassign or No Change to exit without saving changes.
4. The user is now assigned to the selected tags and ready to tag. View tag assignments by searching for the user's name or filtering by owner in the Tag Tool.
Confirm Tags when Packaging
The Confirm Tags window appears during any packaging activity, whether for orders or inventory conversions. This ensures accurate tag assignment to products.
If a user lacks sufficient tags, an error message will prevent partial packaging, requiring the user to obtain more tags before proceeding.
Notes:
Metrc does not support tag assignments. Tag assignments made in GrowFlow will not be reflected if tagging is done directly in Metrc.
Run an Import Active Tags sync via Admin > Syncs to sync in new tags or update used tags.
Voiding tags in GrowFlow does not void them in Metrc. Void tags directly in Metrc and then sync with GrowFlow.
