Tags are words that you associate with an item to give them a label. You can search for items using associated tags. Each item from your ePortfolio can be linked to one or more tags.
There are different types of tags to use:
- Tags that consist of one word and that can be seen and used by everyone.
- Tags that consist of multiple words and that can be seen and used by everyone.
For this, put the words of the tag between double quotation marks. For example: "writing and listening". - Tags that you only want to use for yourself and that you do not want someone else to see.
For this, put a @ for your tag. For example: @concept - A combination; a tag with different words that is only visible to you. For example: @ "concept plan of approach"
You can add tags when you create the item or you can add tags to an existing item.
