Brightspot Content Types Guide

Tag


Tags are a way for content teams to add additional metadata to an asset, and they can be used in two ways:

  • A tag can be applied to assets.
  • A tag can be its own page that lists associated assets.

Tags are a useful way to group content both internally and externally. If you want to use a tag to only group content internally, you may opt to hide the tag from public pages and modules.

To create a tag:

  1. In the header, click add.
  2. From the Create list, select Tag.
  3. Using the following tables as a reference, complete the fields as needed.
  4. Complete your site's workflow and publish the asset.
