Using tags

Tags are labels you create yourself, such as “Offers” or “New”. Visitors can use them to filter on your website.

Creating a tag

  1. Go to Collections and click Tags.
  2. Click Create new. Type the name of the tag and press Enter: the tag is saved and you can type the next one straight away. Done? Click Save or close the window.
  3. Tick Hidden on the website for a tag you only want to use in the CMS.
  4. To change a tag: click it in the list.

Adding a tag to an item

Open a post, product, project, photo album or vacancy. Under Tags, the ten most used tags of your website are shown as buttons: click one to add a tag (the button turns dark blue with a tick), click again to remove it. Search for another tag in the field below; create a new tag by typing its name and pressing Enter. Save and publish.

If you already have five tags or more, a tip appears: it is better to use an existing tag than a new one.

Tags for many items at once

In the lists Posts, Events, Products, Portfolio and Photo albums, the tags of each item are in the Tags column. Click a tag and you only see the items with that tag; click the same tag again to see everything. This is how you work with several items at once:

Under Reviews and Downloads, the tags are shown below each review or download; use the buttons above the list to filter by a tag (for example all reviews about one service, or all manuals for one machine).

  1. If you like, click a tag under Tags above the list (only tags used in that list; the most used ones are buttons, the rest are under More), or click a tag in the list: you then only see the items with that tag. All removes the filter.
  2. Tick the items (the tick box at the top selects everything on this page). The top shows how many you have selected.
  3. Click Add tag and choose one or more tags (for a new tag: type the name and press Enter), or click Remove tag and tick the tags that should go. Items without that tag stay as they are.
  4. Click Publish at the top right to put it on your website.

Tips

  • Keep to a handful of tags and reuse them as much as possible. Too many tags make filtering hard for your visitors.
  • Use your visitors' words, not those of your own admin.
  • You can delete a tag you no longer use. In the Tags list you can tick several tags and delete them in one go.

Whether and how tags are shown on your website depends on your design. Not sure? Ask us.
