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.
For a wire frame example of what this content type can look like on your site, see Tag design.
To create a tag:
- In the header, click .
- From the Create list, select Tag.
- Using the following tables as a reference, complete the fields as needed.
- Complete your site's workflow and publish the asset.
