# How to set a custom import tag {#how-to-set-a-custom-import-tag}


You can set a custom import tag, either in your configuration file or using the UI.

The standard tag is something like `Data Import at 2023-06-12 @ 23:03` which may not be very distinctive.

Instead, you can set this to `Cool import by me` or combine it with some of the following custom variables. For example, by setting it to `Imported in year %year%`, the resulting tag will read `Imported in the year 2023`.
