Tap’s settings screens assume you know this vocabulary. Reading this page once will save you guessing at what a screen is asking for.

Profile

A profile is one shareable identity: a name, photo, title, company, and a set of links. It is the thing a visitor sees after a tap or scan. A member can hold more than one profile — for example one for their main role and one for a specific trade show — and switch which is active. Profiles carry their own view counts and tap counts, so you can tell which one is actually doing work.
A profile is not the same as a member. A member is a person with a login; a profile is one of the identities that person shares. Deleting a profile does not remove the member.
A link is one row on a profile: a phone number, an email, a LinkedIn URL, a PDF, a payment link, a WhatsApp handle. Each link has a link type that decides how it renders and how it behaves when tapped. Links can be grouped into link groups so a profile can present, say, all its social accounts together. Admins can restrict which link types a department is allowed to add — see Department permissions.

Connection

A connection is a person your team member met and captured. It is created when someone submits a lead capture form, when a member saves a contact manually, or when a card is scanned. Connections can be filed into connection groups and labelled with tags. In Tap Teams the same records appear under Leads — connection is the underlying object, lead is what the dashboard calls it.

Lead capture form

The lead capture form is what a visitor fills in after landing on a profile. Each field has two parts that matter: Renaming a label is safe. Changing a name breaks any CRM mapping pointing at the old key. This distinction is the single most common source of “why is this field empty in HubSpot” — see Lead capture forms.

Template

A template is a profile blueprint an admin publishes. It fixes the layout, branding, and a starting set of links so every member’s profile looks like it came from the same company. Templates can also carry their own lead capture fields. When a profile uses a template that defines capture fields, those fields win over the member’s own form.

Department

A department is a group of members inside your company — Sales, Field Marketing, EMEA. Departments exist to carry permissions rather than just to organize the member list. A department can control which profile fields its members may edit, which link types they may add, which CRMs they can reach, and whether they get location features.
Department permissions default to full access. A department with no restriction rows saved lets its members do everything. Restrictions only start applying once you explicitly save them.

Meeting

A meeting is a recorded conversation attached to a lead. Tap transcribes the audio, then extracts a summary, topics, objections, sentiment, and action items from the transcript. Meetings consume minutes, which are drawn from your plan’s entitlement. See Transcription.

Tag

A tag is a free-form label you attach to leads to slice them later — event names, product interest, priority. Tags are defined once at the team level and then applied to any number of leads.
