Haystack uses a tagging system to help you efficiently group and filter your scanned cards. Instead of fixed groups, hashtags allow you to categorize each contact in multiple ways for better flexibility.
How to Add Hashtags to a Card
Open a scanned card in full-screen view.
Scroll to the "Personal Notes" section at the bottom.
Add any relevant hashtags (e.g.,
#Supplier,#NYC,#Buyer,#Comicon).Save your changes.
How to Find Cards Using Hashtags
Open Haystack and go to your contacts list.
Use the search function.
Type the hashtag you want to filter by (e.g.,
#NYC).Your contact list will instantly filter to show relevant cards.
Additional Grouping Options
Grouping Cards by Company
If you want to group contacts by their company name instead of using hashtags:
Tap the list order options button. (Located below your own cards and above your first Haystack contact.)
Select "Sort by Company" to automatically organize your contacts by employer.
Why Does Haystack Use Hashtags Instead of Groups?
Hashtags offer more flexibility than fixed groups. While a contact can belong to only one group in a traditional system, hashtags allow multiple categorizations.
For example:
A contact tagged with
#Londonand#Resellerwill appear when searching for either term.This ensures contacts are easily found based on multiple relevant criteria.
By using hashtags, you gain a more versatile way to manage and filter your scanned business cards efficiently.
