Removing Tags from Multiple Contacts

  • Select the Contacts from whom you want to remove tags (highlighted in gray).
  • Note the Number of Selected contacts in blue at the top left.

  • MPDX will ask you to Confirm the tag you want to remove.

Deleting Tags

Unlike removing a tag from an individual contact or multiple contacts, deleting a tag from MPDX is permanent and will be removed from all contacts.

  • From the Contacts page, locate Tags section.
  • Click on the X next to the Tag Name you wish to remove.
  • The Deleted Tag will be removed from all contacts who had the tag.

Edit or Rename a Tag

To edit a tag name, you will actually add a new tag and then remove the old tag.

  • On the left, under the Tags Section, click on the Tag Name you want to edit.
  • Click on Select button.
  • Then click on Select All 14 Contacts (all contacts that have the tag).

The 14 Selected next to the Select button corresponds with the Tag highlighted on the left.

  • Click on the Actions button.
  • Select Add Tags.

  • Create a New Tag, i.e., 2018 Baby Announcement, by typing in the Add a tag space.
  • After typing the new tag name, press enter and click on Save.


  • To delete the Old Tag i.e., 2015 baby announcement by clicking the X to the right.
