The following example illustrates the Tag Cloud Pagelet on the portal homepage.

Tag Cloud pagelet

Use the Tag Cloud pagelet to view tags in use in the system. The information displayed in the pagelet depends on the personalizations you set on the Personalize Tag Cloud page. You can personalize the information displayed in the cloud by:

  • Scope — Select the feature for which tags are displayed.

  • Sort order — Alphabetic or by count.

  • Time period — The period in which tags were created.

You can use the Tag Cloud pagelet to:

  • Visually review the tags in use in the system and the relative frequency of their use. (Use refers to the number of times a tag has been assigned to an item, and not the number of times a tag has been clicked, accessed, or searched.)

    Tags appearing in the largest font have been assigned to items more frequently than other tags have. In the preceding example, employees, offices, and Portal Solutions have been used the most frequently.

  • Click on a specific tag to access the Search Tags page with a search on where that tag has been used using the scope specified for the Tag Cloud pagelet.

  • Enter your own search term to access the Search Tags page with a search to determine if that tag has been used anywhere within the portal scope.
