Tile tagging and filtering

Add tags to tiles and let visitors filter content dynamically. Covers tag creation, assignment, and filter display options.

Written by Troy Villasanta

Overview

Tagging and filtering will allow you to create tags and assign them to content to give your visitors control over what content is being displayed to them. Tiles in a grid section may be categorized differently, based on the site creators' or viewers' needs or preferences.

For a video walkthrough of the tagging and filtering system, see the full guide to tagging and filtering in Zoomforth.

Videos may be tagged according to the duration, popularity, resolution, suggested audience, creators, or features of the content, while the headshots in a team or organization section, or subpage, may be categorized based on the practice, role, title, location, department, seniority, or affiliations of the resource.

These content categorizations are accomplished by tagging the tiles, while the tags are created by setting up a filter category. At least one category must be set up for the filter to be made available in a grid section, and for a tile to be tagged.

Create categories for tile tagging

Grid tiles or contents can be sorted, filtered, or tagged based on different categorizations. Categories are set up in the section, and at least one category must be made available for the tile tagging and filtering to work in the section.

  1. Navigate to the subpage and select the target grid section.

  2. In the left panel, open the Action tab.

  3. Under Filter, enable Enable Filtering Options.

  4. Click Edit.

    In the Filtering Options dialog:

  5. Enter a label in the Filter Text field (this appears above the grid section).

  6. Select a Filter Method. Use the tooltip (?) for more details on each option.

  7. Choose a Filter Type (Checkbox, Radio Button, or Dropdown).

  8. Under Filter Group, click + New filter category to add categories.
    ​

    • Enter a label in Category Name.

    • Add tags in the Tags field (these will be applied to tiles and grouped by category).
      ​

  9. To manage categories:
    ​

    • Show or hide a category using the eye icon.

    • Delete a category using the trash icon.

    • Reorder categories using the up or down arrows.​
