# Tags

> Create and manage organization-wide tags, assign them in bulk, and use them in lists and email audiences.

Tags are free-form labels you attach to contacts to group them by anything that matters to you — recruiter source, location, priority, course cohort name, "newsletter", "past alumni", and so on. Unlike [program interest](/contacts/contact-record-and-sources#program-interest), tags are manual — you control when they're applied and removed.

## Where to manage tags

Go to the **Tags** tab on [Program Dashboard → Contacts](https://firstrespondershub.com/program-dashboard/contacts?tab=tags).

The Tags tab lists every tag in your organization with:

* Tag name
* Created date
* Contact count (how many contacts currently have the tag)
* Row menu: **Rename**, **Delete**

Deleting a tag removes it from every contact it was on — it does not delete the contacts themselves.

## Creating a tag

You can create a tag in three places:

* **Tags tab → New tag**
* **Contact detail panel → Add tag popover** (type a new name and press Enter)
* **Import dialog → Tags popover** (for tagging imported contacts at upload)
* **All Contacts table bulk tag → New tag**

Tag names are case-sensitive and must be unique within your organization.

## Assigning tags

* **One contact** — Open the contact detail panel and use the tag popover.
* **Bulk** — On the All Contacts table, select rows and use **Apply tag**. You can pick an existing tag or create one inline.
* **On import** — In the [Import dialog](/contacts/importing-contacts), pick one or more tags before upload; they'll be assigned to every contact imported in that batch.

## Using tags in filters and audiences

Tags are first-class across Contacts:

* **All Contacts table** — Filter by a single tag.
* **Custom lists** — Add filter conditions `Tag has tag <name>` and `Tag does not have tag <name>`. Combine multiple tag conditions to build intersections.
* **Email audiences** — Choose **Tagged contacts** as the audience when composing an email.

See [Custom lists and the audience builder](/contacts/custom-lists-and-audience-builder) and [Email campaigns](/contacts/email-campaigns).
