About tags

Tags are keywords that can be added to an object record to describe, group or categorise an object.

You can add tags to your own records, and the public can add tags too. You can restrict tagging.

A tag can be a single word or a phrase. Include tags such as:

  • Places

  • People

  • Dates

  • Events

  • Colours

Your tags are used to create a tag cloud on your account profile. Selecting a tag will return all your records that have that tag.

Add a tag to a record

  1. Log into My eHive and go to the record.

  2. In the Tags box, enter your tag and select Add Tag. You can add multiple tags at once by using commas to separate them. For example:

    Pablo Picasso, Madrid, red, 1930s
