What is a tag?
A tag is a descriptive term that you assign to an activity or activity entry. You can assign tags to your activities and activity entries to organize them by subject, to make them easier to find, and to share content with other members. You and other members of an activity can search by tag to find related activities or to identify people with similar interests or a particular expertise.
You can assign tags to an activity or entry when you first post it or you can edit the tags later by editing the activity or entry. Owners can assign tags to an activity and any of its entries; owners can also edit and delete all tags. Authors can assign tags to their own entries only, and can later edit them; they cannot edit or delete activity-level tags.
A tag can be a single word only and cannot contain any spaces. It can contain characters such as an underscore (_) or at sign (@). For example, you can use
follow_up,
follow-up, and
followupas tags, but not
follow upThe letters comprising a tag are saved as all lowercase letters. If you add a tag that contains uppercase letters, they are converted to lower case when the tag is added to the entry or activity. For example, if you specify
followUp, the tag is saved as
followup
A tag assigned to a public activity is available to everyone from the tag collection displayed for the Public Activities view. A tag assigned to a private activity is available to the members of that activity only and is displayed in the tag collection displayed for each member's My Activities view. Tags assigned to activity entries are displayed in the tag collection displayed within the activity. Tags assigned to private entries are not displayed in the collection.
You can choose how the tags in a tag collection are displayed: in a list or a cloud. A tag list displays the tags in a list starting with the most popular tags at the top. A tag cloud visualizes the popularity of the tags in the collection by grouping the tags together and displaying the most frequently used tags in larger, darker text and less often used tags in smaller, lighter text.
By default the tag cloud displays all of the tags and the tag list displays the ten most popular tags only. You can limit the number of tags that are displayed in the tag cloud by clicking and dragging the filtering indicator above the collection.
