 The Tag icon disappears for all the untagged events.
Tagging/Untagging Recurring Events
 Tagging/untagging a parent event also affects its child recurrences.
 You can tag/untag an individual child recurrence.
 When you tag recurring events, the Hide tagged events filter applies. If a new
recurring event is generated, you see the parent event again and it will display
only the new recurrence.
 The recurring events Counter shows the total number of recurring events,
regardless of whether or not they are tagged.
Operation Tips
 When you select multiple events, and you tag/untag an individual event of the
selection, all the events selected are tagged/untagged.
 When a tagged event changes its state, it is automatically untagged. If the
current filter allows, this event is displayed again.
 The tag action is valid only during the current client session. If you restart the
client application, all the events are visible in Event List and untagged.
