Select Tags	Use the drop down list to select one of the connection tags defined in the selected category. When selected, the member end releases defined for this connection tag are indicated in the inactive degree of freedom check boxes in the Releases group.
Assign Beam End Releases	Set this check box option on to assign the indicated member end releases for the connection tag in the STAAD.Pro model when the connection tag is assigned. Tip: This is recommended so the releases match those assumed by the connection tag.
