Acceptors Field 

Acceptors are Team Members who are notified when a Request is submitted using a particular form and have the ability to accept or decline a Request once it has been submitted.

As you begin typing, tags already added in your account will be available for selection.

You also have the option to create a new tag. Enter a name for your tag and select the newly created tag.
