Baseline tags are used for doing baselines or children's starting point assessments, Parental Observation tags are automatically applied to all observations sent from parents and Planned Activity tags are for practitioner led activities and automatically applied to activities observed from the planning sheet.

If you did not Override Nursery Chain Settings when setting up your nursery, observation field options will draw from Global Settings and will not be customisable in System Settings.
