Contact tags and types

What are tags?

Tags are descriptive words that you can assign to a contact record (a person) in Upswing. Tags are like keywords but non-hierarchical. You can assign up to XXX tags to a contact and easily rename or delete them later. Tagging contact names can be a lot easier and more flexible than foisting your contact names into preconceived types.

For example, you can tag a contact record with "golfer" or "401k." Later, when looking for contacts with these assigned words, all you have to do is click on the tag. Also think of tags as a way to group your contact records, beyond types.
