Restructuring community labels

[HSCommunity]

Hi everyone!

We're in the process of redesigning and restructuring our labels and I was hoping to get some input, recommendations, tips and tricks from other users.

• How does your label structure look like?
• How do you use them?
• Do you use predefined labels or not? Do you require a label when creating a new post?
• Do you use labels for topics (e.g. marketing, sales) or also for different formats (video, quick tip)?

Looking forward to your ideas!

Thanks,

Jess

Hi Jess @HSCommunity 

Feel free to check out our Workshop community to see how we use labels. We only use predefined labels and they are mandatory for each post. Workshop is a home improvement forum so our boards are areas of the house and our labels are activities. So the labels give a secondary means of taxonomy and navigation.
