Delete a Tag Category

โš ๏ธImportant:

  • A Tag Category can only be deleted if the Category features no Tags within it.

  • Any Tags present in a particular Tag Category must first be deleted.

  • Any Tags that may be present and you wish to keep would need to be moved to a different Tag Category.

  • All those Constituents with the Tag(s) will need to have the new Tag added to their Profiles - it is highly suggested that the Tag name is slightly different from the original Tag.

Once there are no Tags left in a category:

  • A delete option will be presented when you open the Tag Category.
    The button will be located to the right of the screen between the Save Changes and the Close button.

๐Ÿ“ŒNote:

  • If you change a tag description do not have a list that uses the tag open in another tab.

  • Make sure no one else in your organisation is using the tag at that time.

  • It is always best to do this sort of maintenance when no one else is using the system.

โš ๏ธImportant:

  • Do not use special characters such as commas, underscores, ampersand (&), less or more ( < > ), astricts (*), #, etc. within in your Tag Category or Tag description as this may have an adverse effect on Lists, Integrations and the File Uploader/Updater.

  • Reference webpage for special characters: click here.

  • Deleting or renaming Tags may also affect other integrations, e.g MailChimp - please check relevant mappings.
