# Tying Faxes to Patients

> Associate an inbound fax with a patient, add tags, and filter the fax list by patient.

When processing an inbound fax, you can tie it to a specific patient. Open the fax and use the **Patient** field (in **View and Update Fax** or the fax's side panel) to search for and select the patient.

You can then **filter by patient** in the Faxing filter drawer to find all faxes tied to that patient.

#### Tags

You can also add **Tags** to a fax to label and group it. Tags are free-form — start typing in the **Tags** field to reuse an existing tag or create a new one. Tagged faxes show their tags as badges in the fax list.
