Description

Include all public lists

Select the field to display any public tag lists that you have not created yourself. For example, two public lists have been created by the administrator:

House Captains
Tennis Team.

These can be used by all staff members, rather than each staff member having to create a new list each to serve the same purpose.
Clear the Include all public lists field to display only tag lists that you have created.
Note: If you have created any public lists yourself these are displayed even if the Include all public lists field is cleared.

Clear tagged items first

Select this field to clear the current tag list before you load new community members.
Tip: Save any existing tagged records on the Tag List window, if required, so that they these are available at a later date.
Clear this field to append the new community members to the current tag list.
