Overview
Tags are labels attached to content for the purpose of identification or to give information. Enterprise tags are a cluster of pre-defined tags which enable the Administrators to control and restrict the input of irrelevant tags by Contributors while publishing media.
The Enterprise tags are configured on both Account and Portal levels, while the portal can inherit tags from the Account. VIDIZMO has a feature to add tags during publishing and editing media. Users can add or select tags while publishing media if the Administrator has pre-defined the enterprise tags. If an Administrator deletes any tag which is used in any media, then it will be deleted from all related media as well.
Tags assist the Viewers in searching the media with ease, related media is listed on the basis of tags and it also gives a quick view of what the media is about before it is viewed. Moreover, tags are also used to display on Playback page.
Steps
i. From the Portal's Homepage login using an Administrator or Manager rights on your Account.
- From the top left-hand corner, click on the Menu Icon to bring up the left navigation pane.
- Under the Admin section, select the Portal Settings tab to open the Portal Settings.
.
ii. Under the Portal Settings:
- Click on the Library tab to expand its options.
- Select Tags to bring up the Global Tags screen on the right-hand side.
- Then select Tags to bring up the Global Tags screen on the right-hand side.
- Add a tag and hit the Enter button on your keyboard to add it to the list. The newly added tag gets listed in the Portal's tag cloud.
- Make sure that the "Allow publishers to add new tags when publishing/drafting Videos" checkbox is not selected. If left unchecked, it restricts the uploader from adding new tags when uploading a media file. In other words, if this option is selected, then the uploader can add new tags (that are not in Global Tags) while publishing/drafting the media.
Note: If the checkbox is deselected and no tags are added by the Administrator in Global Tags, the Tags feature is deactivated from an Account/Channel and the option to add tags becomes unavailable when publishing media.
