Use this article to create, rename and colour tags in Tag Management and manage lead sources in Lead Source Management, both opened from the gear icons on the contact form. Tags label contacts (hot, cold, warm, Wholesale and so on) and lead sources record where they came from. We will create a VIP tag and look at the source list.

How do I open Tag Management?

To open Tag Management, go to any New or Update contact form and, next to ① Tag, click ② the gear icon. The gear icon ④ next to ③ Source opens the equivalent Lead Source Management dialog.

How do I add a tag?

The Tag Management dialog

To add a tag in the Tag Management dialog: ① the list on the left shows every tag, and the built-in tags show a padlock. On the right, type ② a Title, pick ③ a Label Color and click ④ Save.

As you type the title, the dialog checks the name is free ("Sweet! That name is available."). ① Enter VIP as the Title, ③ choose a Label Color and click ② Save.

Adding the VIP tag

Note: Save stays disabled until you pick a colour.

① The new tag joins the tag list on the left. Tags you created show ② a trash icon so you can delete them.
