Datatags have names and descriptions that are used when the name and description is left empty on a row. Datatag names and descriptions are company wide. Changing them changes the name on all rows that don't have their own name and description and that use the datatag. Datatag names have been pre-populated with the most common names from the rows that were using those datatags.

A datatag. Only allows the uppercase alphabets, number, '_' or '%'.
