Working with Tags

Tags allow you to group contacts that belong to different groups but share common characteristics.

For example, you may want to create a list of people you send Christmas cards to, including both friends and business associates. Since a contact can only belong to one primary group, tags provide a flexible solution for cross-categorization. A single contact can have multiple tags, and contacts from different groups can share the same tag.

Manage Tags

To manage tags:

• Select any tag item on the left sidebar.
• Right click to select New Tag, Rename Tag, or Delete Tag.

Note

Top-level Tags entry itself cannot be deleted.

Deleting a tag removes it from all contacts to which it was assigned.

Assign Tags to Contacts

You can assign tags directly from the main contact list:

1. Select the Groups, or one or more individual groups.
2. Select one or more contacts,
3. Right-click the selected contacts and choose the target tag. (You can also create a new tag here and assign it to the selected contact(s).)

Alternatively, you can assign, remove tags, or add a new tag in the Contact Editor using the Tags drop-down list:

Remove Tag from Contacts

To remove a tag from one or more contacts:

1. Select the tag in the Tags list on the left sidebar.
2. Select the contacts from which you want the tag removed.
3. Right-click and select Remove Tag from N contacts option, or
4. Simply press the Delete key, and confirm the removal.

Move Contacts Between Tags

To move one or more contacts from their current tag to another:

• Select the contact(s) from the list.
• Right-click to open the context menu.
• Select Move Contact to Tag... and choose the target tag.
