Lists can be categorised and organised easily by using List Tags which makes locating your List(s) within lots of other Lists a doddle.

Some ideas for List Tags are:

• Staff names - so Lists created by a specific user can be retrieved 
• Trustee - Lists that are used for reporting on items for Trustees
• London Marathon - enabling the location of runners, financial reports, fundraising pages, etc
• Year End - all your year-end Lists 
• Major Donors - Lists featuring your Major Donors
• Campaign Segments - base segments for your Campaigns
• etc, etc...
