Delete Tag

It is recommended best practice to not delete tags that are associated with contacts, especially contacts that only have one tag. To avoid this, take the steps below:

  1. Navigate to "Reports."

  1. Using the report builder, set the following parameters:
    • Fields to display: First Name, Last Name, Tag.

  1. Filter Criteria: Tag equal to the name of the tag.

  1. Select "View Report."

If there are contacts that have ONLY the tag you have selected, be sure to adjust the contacts' tags first. Once you have verified that no contacts have only that tag, you can delete the tag.

  1. Navigate to "Settings," and "Tags."

  1. Select the tag you would like to delete.
