Overview of the Tagging feature

Tagging is a feature integrated in the TIVITY Platform for use in the apps. Tags let you group, categorize and find your app items more easily. You have the choice: create and use either your personal tags or together with your colleagues the team tags.

In the following chapters you will learn all important steps how to create and use tags. We will also show you how platform and workspace administrators can define rules for usage of tags.

We want you to use tags in the most effective way. After all, they are there to assist and simplify your undertaking. To do this, consider a few simple principles:

NAMING

Avoid making tags too generic or too specific. Generic tags run the risk of being used everywhere. Specific tags can be applied to too few elements. Pay attention to spelling. Consider creating guidelines for naming tags and keep them short.

GROUPING

If official grouping is available, such as grouping tasks by story, avoid using tags. Check if suitable team tag exists before creating a personal one.

CLEANING UP

Regularly check for obsolete or unnecessary tags and delete them.
