Using tags is the foundational component of The Actor’s Office. Tags allow you to search, group  and filter your contacts... faster. 
So when your friend asks you for recommendations for directors, you’ll be able to give her a list in literally less than 30 seconds. 
Never again will you forget the name of that producer you know - just click on your Producer tag and you’ll see all the producers you know listed there. Think of tags as a built-in assistant reminding you who you know.
Plus, depending how someone is tagged depends on what Automated Relationship System they can be put into. (More on that in What are Automated Relationship Systems?)

TAO comes with the following  pre-loaded tags:

It is vital that you tag EVERY contact you put into your system. It’ll allow you to search better and faster AND will allow you to use our built in Automated Relationship Systems. Which will make your life easier :)

Creating Custom Tags

You can also add your own custom tags depending on what you need for your career. Maybe you add a tag for DP’s, Musical Directors, Showrunners, etc. Decide what tags you’d like to run your acting business and add them.
Simply click Add a Tag OR  the + in your Contact’s Profile. Type a new Tag in the pop up box. If that tag is not already in your system, a button will appear that says Add Name of Tag. Click Add. Then click Update.


Adding more than one Contact to a Tag at once
You can batch update the tags of your contacts.
To add more than one contact to a tag at a time select the contacts by clicking the box next to their name and then add a tag


From here a pop-up will open and you can select which tag to add or remove from the selected contacts.
