Welcome to our 5th #TipTuesday for NDS Communities! Tip Tuesday is about showing you the functionality the NDS Communities community platform has to offer.
Last week we discussed how to reply to a discussion post – if you missed it, you can view it here.
Now, let's use this week's Tip Tuesday to review how to Tag Your Content.
Tag Your Content
Have you used the tagging feature yet? Using Hashtags to tag your content is a fantastic way to help sort and categorise the information you are posting and sharing. It helps add context to your post and makes for quick searching for all members.
What? Tags are labels that can be applied to content. #Hashtagging is a feature that allows you to apply tags to your content.
Why? Tags help provide additional information or categorise content. They also provide a shortcut for searching so that members can discover other content in the same category with the same tag. For example, click on a tag and you will be directed to search results filtered by that tag.
Who? Members can apply/remove tags in their own content.
How? To apply/remove tags:
Start by typing "#" on your keyboard or by clicking on the # icon (as shown below). You will see a list of tags appear dropping down from your text. Select the tag you would like to use or create one of your own related to your post. Please note, you must select a tag from the list for it to apply to your post. You'll know it's worked when your tag is blue when you hover over it.
Tune in next week for more NDS Communities community tips and tricks!
