Campaign Studio provides tags to help you label contacts with keywords and phrases so that you can organize contacts with similar qualities. You can apply multiple tags to a single contact. After you create tags, you can reuse them across contacts and leverage them to perform multiple actions in Campaign Studio.

Tags page
---------

The Tags page is the main interface to create and manage tags in Campaign Studio. However, you can also create tags by editing a contact. The Tags page lists all the tags created in Campaign Studio, irrespective of the method used for creating them.

![Tags page](https://acquia.widen.net/content/ewvd9k3rol/jpeg/campaign-studio_tags.jpeg?position=c&color=ffffffff&quality=80&u=kymscu)

The Tags page contains the following information:

 

**Column**

**Description**

**NAME**

Displays the tag name that you provide while creating it.

**\# CONTACTS**

Displays the number of contacts and a link to view the list of contacts the tag is applied to. To view the list of contacts for a specific tag, click **View # Contact**.

**ID**

Displays the ID of the tag indicating the position at which the tag is created in Campaign Studio. For example, an ID of 4 indicates that it is the fourth tag that is created in Campaign Studio.

### Creating tags by editing a contact

1.  Log in to Campaign Studio.
    
2.  In the left navigation pane, click **Contacts**.
    
3.  On the Contacts page, locate the contact for which you want to create a tag.

Deleting tags
-------------

Deleting a tag from the Tags page deletes it from the system. From the Tags page, you can only delete the tags without any contacts.

Deleting a tag from a contact’s record only removes it for that contact but the tag remains available on the Tags page and throughout the system.

To permanently delete a tag containing contacts:

1.  Create a segment using the **Tags** filter that includes the tag you want to delete.
    
2.  Create a campaign using that segment as a source.
    
3.  Create a **Modify Contact’s Tags** action.
    
4.  In the **Remove tags** field, select the tag that you want to remove.
    
5.  Publish the campaign.
    
6.  Delete the tag from the Tags page.
