# How To Add a Tag to New Contact List Import

Adding a tag to a contact record is a great way to organize your contacts. When importing a new list of contacts, it is possible you'll want to include one or multiple tags for all or some of the contacts in the list. Below we'll show you the two ways you can add a tag (or multiple) to a new contact list import.

**Option 1:** This option is recommended if you have multiple and/or different tags to apply to the contacts in the list being imported.

* In the .csv file, have a column titled "Tags" and include as many tags as you'd like, with each separated by a comma. These tags will be created and applied to the associated contact records during the import

* In this example, "Test1" would be applied to all 4 contacts during the import. The second tag, "TestTag", would be added to just 2 contacts.

**Option 2:** This option is recommended if you want to add one or more tags to the entire list.

* You may add a new tag to the entire list being uploaded in Step 3 "Details” when importing contacts.

* In this example, "ThisIsATest", would be added to all contacts in the list being imported.
* You may include one or multiple tags. You may use existing tags or create new ones right here in the import section.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://software-help-docs.gitbook.io/knowledge-base/software-guide/contacts/how-to-add-a-tag-to-new-contact-list-import.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
