Tags

Tags are used for:

1. creating ad-hoc groupings of Templates, Lists and Mobile Accounts.
2. for auto assigment of Templates and Lists to Mobile Accounts.
3. for sending messages to groups of users.

Creating Groups With Tags

You can create a group of mobile accounts, templates or lists simply by tagging them with the same value. To create a tag type in a tag name into the 'Tags' field and click the green plus icon to add the tag. If the tag already exists a popup menu will auto suggest the name, click the existing tag name from the menu to select it then press the plus icon to associate the tag with this mobile account, template or list.

To remove a tag click on the red minus icon next to the tag name. You can create as many tags as you like and a mobile account, template or list can have as many tags as you like.

Auto Assignment

When a mobile account has the same tag as a template that template is automatically assigned to their account. This makes it easy to manage a large number of users and their templates without having to manually assign each template to each mobile account.

Similarly when a mobile account has the same tag as list, that list is automaticaly assigned to their account.

Group Sending

You can use a tag name as the address for a message. When a message is sent with a tag as the address a copy of that message is made for each mobile account associated with that tag.

Billing Information When sending a single message to a group a transaction will be recorded for each member of the group that receives the message on their phone. If you have an account that is charged based on the number of messages sent then each of the transactions will count as a message on your account.
