Tags are labels that help categorize content by use of a simple keyword or general term. Tags can be assigned to a Group, Event or Course, or to GlobalNET content such as a Post or News article. Tagging content helps describe and categorize it and also allows it to be found easily in a GlobalNET search; tags can also help connect related content. Tags, Topics, Countries and Regions show up in a horizontal list under the Body section of the main page of most content types, along with a link to “See all tags.”

When creating new content, to add Tags:

1. Click to expand the Tags field
2. Begin to type the Tag name
3. If the tag already exists, it will be found via the autocomplete
4. If the tag doesn’t exist, type the name and enter to add to the system Tag List.

When creating tags, please observe these guidelines.

A Tag should be:

• A keyword or short phrase that is related to the content
• Useful and easy to remember
• Short and simple

A Tag should not be:

• Longer than a short phrase
• The name of a file
• Text containing a hash or # or other special character
• An abbreviation unless it is a branded term.
• All uppercase

Tags can be:

• A concept such as "Collaboration" or "Time management"
• A noun or a proper noun (E.g. George C. Marshall)
