Managing tags
Use the Tags page in Global Settings to manage and organize content categorization across your organization. Tags are more flexible and lightweight than sections defined by Site Service.
Important
To manage tags, you must be a Squad member with access to your organization's websites.
For more information, refer to Configuring tag settings.
The Tags page allows you to:
Configure tag settings to control if users can only select from predefined tags or create their own one-time tags.
Create, edit, and manage up to one million tags shared across all users and websites in your organization.
You can assign multiple tags to a document, making content categorization more versatile. You can also automatically generate standalone topic pages, improving content discoverability and SEO performance.
Your organization's tags can also integrate with analytics systems to track and analyze content performance by tag.
An administrator from The New Herald must create and maintain article topic tags. They want to generate tags for their Health section, such as Pediatrics, Nutrition, Health Policy, or Healthcare Access.
They create a list of tag topics reporters, contributors, and other editors can choose from to categorize their articles better.
Users who navigate The New Herald content click the tags displayed on a page and get redirected to a new page with stories related to those categories.
