Aurora: Enable tags and set tag options
Many communities use tags to organize content that exists in different boards. Settings vary depending on where you are in the community. You must enable tags at community level to make them available at category and board levels. You can later disable the tags at category or board levels, if required. You can configure the tag options only at the board levels. If you disable tags at the community level, the tag option is disabled for the entire community irrespective of any categories or boards.
Enable tags at the community level
- Open the Account menu and go to Settings > Content Features.
- To enable tags at community level, go to the Tags section and turn on the Tags toggle.
After you enable tags at community level, you can disable the feature in any category or group levels as required.
Set tag options at the board level
By default, tags are enabled at the board level if you enabled them at community level. At the board level, you can configure the various tag options that are applicable to the respective board. You can define preset tags that authors can add while creating a post.
- Open the Account menu and go to Settings > Community Structure.
- In Community Structure, click the board where you want to set tag options. For example, let’s consider a forum board.
- In Forum Settings (or settings for any content type), go to the Content Features > Tags section.
- Choose the Tag types to be used in posts across the community.
- Freeform tags enable members to add their own tags.
- Preset tags enable members to select tags from the pre-defined list. You can choose to allow both of these options.
- If you choose Tag types as either Preset or Preset and freeform, you can add Preset tags by clicking + Tag.
- Turn on the Require tags toggle to mandate authors to add at least one tag to publish their content.
At the board level, you can remove existing preset tags as required.
Note: When you set Tag Types as Preset only and have not added any Preset tags, the Require Tags option is not available. In this scenario, it is recommended that you add preset tags to make use of Require Tags option.
