The Tag Cloud provides a visual depiction of user-generated tags. Tags are clustered according to your selected sorting option. The importance of a tag is shown with font size; that is, the larger the font, the more frequently the tag was applied to that item. This makes it easy to find the most frequently used tags. The tags in a tag cloud are linked to a list of items to which the tags are applied. Click a tag to display the items to which it is applied in the right panel of the Tag Center.

The Tag List is a list of user tags that are linked to a list of items associated with the tag. Click a tag to display the items to which it is applied in the right panel of the Tag Center. The Tag List is arranged according to your selected sorting option.

Refine Tag Results

The Refine Tag Results panel provides methods for further narrowing the display of tagged items. Additionally, you can use controls in the Refine Tag Results area to reset the Tag Center to display items tagged with a refinement tag or by a refinement user name.

Selecting a different tag in the Tag Cloud removes all refinements.

Element Description

Tagged With

A list of other tags used on one or more of the same items as the current tag.

Select one or more refinement tags to limit the displayed tagged items to only those instances that include the current tag and any refinement tags. For example, if the current tag is jcr, and you select the refinement tag specifications, then links to only those items tagged with both jcr and specifications appear in the Tagged Items panel.

After you select a refinement, a Clear Selection icon (Clear selection icon) appears next the refiner. Click the Clear Selection icon to remove the applied refiner. The Tagged Items panel refreshes to display tagged items without the refiner.

Optionally, click the Clear current selection and select refiner_name icon (Clear current selection and go to icon) to the right of the refinement tag to display all items tagged with the refinement tag in the Tagged Items panel.

Tagged By

A list of users who applied the current tag.

Select a refinement user to limit the displayed tagged items to only those instances tagged with the current tag and tagged by the refinement user. For example, if the current tag is jcr, and you select the refinement user jdoe, then links to only those items tagged with jcr and by jdoe appear in the Tagged Items panel.

Optionally, click the Clear current selection and select refiner_name icon (Clear current selection and go to icon) to the right of the refinement user to display all items tagged by the refinement user in the Tagged Items panel.

Note: A Presence icon also displays next to each refinement user. Click it to open a context menu with options for contacting its associated user instantly.
