Introduction
In the bulk mail mode of the DC Envelope Printer app, you can assign each addressee record, one or more tags. A tag may be used to categorize addressees, which makes it easier to compose mailing lists. For example, a university could assign "Class of 2012" to addressees, who graduated from the university in 2012. The university could also assign the tag "Faculty" to all addressees, who belong to the faculty of the university. When mailing lists are being created, addressee records can be searched to see which ones contain "Class of 2012", "Faculty", etc. in their tags field, to aid in the composition of the mailing lists.
Creating Tags
From the Bulk Mode Main Page of the app, click on the Update Database button on the bottom menu bar. On the resultant page, click on the button Addresses, on the left of the page. Ensure that an address record has already been entered into the database. Next, click on the Edit Tags button, on the right of the page. This takes you to the Edit Tags page. Next click on the Manage List button on the left of the page, to access the controls required to create and manage tags. (See screenshot below.)
