A Tag is a label used to categorize any contact, event, or task that relate to a topic. For example, a Tag could be "Project XYZ". Anyone working on the project (contact) could then have that Tag applied, any meetings scheduled on that topic could have the Tag applied, and any Tasks associated with the project could have the Tag applied. Use Tags as a convenient filter based on the criteria you are interested in.
There are three ways to assign tags:
1) Open the individual contact or event info window. On the right there is a black box, click on the image of a tag (at the bottom, second from the left of the black box.)
Then assign a new tag by clicking the up/down arrow on the bottom right and choosing the tag.
2) Look at the contacts or events in list view.
Then highlight all of them you want to assign a tag and go to Edit > Assign Tag, and choose that tag.
3) On the bottom left of your screen are three buttons click on the second one so it's blue and your tags will show in a panel on the left of your screen.
Again, look at the contacts or events in list view. Then highlight all of them you want to assign a tag to and drag and drop them to the tag you want them in in the Tags Panel.
