# Manage Properties ### How to add a property

This is how it looks if I select `Date` and name it as "Deadline".

### Edit property values Data put under a property (or a column) is called a value. Setting up a proper property type enables you to quickly enter a value. #### Select * `Add unique tags to this property by clicking on the property name and then choosing Edit property` * `Clicking on Add option to add unique values` * You can also enter a new tag by clicking on a cell under the column, typing what you want, and pressing enter after each. Colors are randomly assigned.

#### Multi-Select * Work almost the same as `Select` except that each value can hold more than one tag. * For example, Priority is a `Select` property while Categories is a `Multi-Select` property.

#### Date * Clicking to add data will bring up a calendar picker, where you can select the day relevant to the database item — maybe it's a start date or deadline.

* Toggle on `Include time` to choose an exact time, not just a day.

* Click `Date format & Time format` to modify these settings.
