How do I tag content? #

Tags are keywords from a shared tree. Content with the same tag is grouped on the site, for example in a tag cloud or a list of related articles.

Who can do this #

Editors who may edit the object. Adding a tag that is not in the tree yet needs tags/add.

Steps #

1. Edit the object.
2. Find the tags field (its name depends on the class, for example Tags).
3. Type part of a tag under Find a tag to add, then click a match. Or click one of the Suggested tags, or Choose a tag to pick from the tree. The tag appears under Selected tags.
4. To take a tag off, click Remove tag next to it.
5. Click Send for publishing.

A plain keywords field #

Some classes have a simple keywords field instead of a tag tree, for example Tags of the standard Product class. It is a text line: type the keywords separated by commas, such as garden, tools, spring. Items that share a keyword are linked by it, independently of the tree, and the site can list them together. Spell each keyword the same way every time; garden and gardens count as two different keywords.

What can go wrong #

• The tag you need does not exist and cannot be added. The field only allows tags from the tree, or your role lacks tags/add. Ask whoever keeps the tag tree.
• Two tags mean the same. Use the main one. Whoever keeps the tree can make the other a synonym or merge them: see How do I keep the tag tree tidy?
