Adding Standard Feedback

Introduction

This lesson will teach you how to add Standard Feedback. Standard Feedback are preset comments that can be attached to Tags in the Tag Manager. When you are commenting on an Event that has a Tag with Standard Feedback attached to it you can quickly insert that feedback into the comments for the event.
