Introducing “Tags” for better content management and engagement

At tchop, we’re passionate about equipping you with tools that not only simplify your workflows but also supercharge how your audience interacts with your content. That’s why we’re thrilled to unveil Tags—a feature designed to redefine content organisation and engagement on your platform.

Understanding tags and their role in content management

Tags are more than just labels—they are the backbone of efficient content organisation and discovery on the tchop platform.

With tags on cards, you can categorise content seamlessly using two distinct types: hidden tags for internal use and visible tags for community engagement. Let’s break them down.

Hidden tags

Hidden tags keep your content workflow organised without disrupting the user experience. They’re your backstage pass to smarter content management:

• Centralised control: Admins can define hidden tags at the organisation level, making them available for everyone involved in content creation.
• Admin and editor Use: These tags can only be assigned by admins and editors while creating cards through the dashboard. They remain invisible to end users, via the web app or mobile app, ensuring sensitive or functional tags don’t clutter the public interface.
• Enhanced filtering and analytics: Hidden tags make filtering content within the admin dashboard fast and precise. They also unlock card-specific analytics, giving you actionable insights on performance.
• Controlled visibility: Hidden tags are strictly for behind-the-scenes organization and management, ensuring that sensitive or administrative tags are not exposed to the broader audience.
• Flexibility: Org admins can rename hidden tags, convert them to visible tags (and vice versa) without the need to retag the cards. They can also delete tags, which will immediately remove the tag from all associated cards.

Visible tags

Visible tags bridge the gap between content and community, making discovery and interaction more intuitive. Here’s what they bring to the table:

• Community engagement: Visible tags are visible to all users, including readers and those with editor-limited permissions. This openness allows anyone with the appropriate permissions to assign visible tags while creating a card via the web app, mobile app, or admin dashboard.
• Discoverability: Clicking on a visible tag brings up a feed of all cards with the same tag, sorted by the posted time. This feature enhances content discoverability and allows users to easily find related content.
• Organizational control: Org admins can define visible tags for the entire organization, ensuring consistent tagging across all content.
• Flexibility: Org admins can rename visible tags, convert them to hidden tags (and vice versa) without the need to retag the cards. They can also delete tags, which will immediately remove the tag from all associated cards.

Simplifying content creation with default tags

To make tagging even more efficient, you can define default tags at the mix level. This means that whenever a user creates a card inside a mix, the predefined hidden and visible tags are automatically assigned to the card. This feature saves time and ensures consistency in tagging without the need to manually select the same tags repeatedly.

Filtering and analytics made easy

With the introduction of tags on cards, we have also enhanced our filtering and analytics capabilities:

• Advanced filtering: Admins and editors can filter cards based on both hidden and visible tags. This powerful feature allows you to quickly find and manage specific content.
• Detailed analytics: Access card-specific analytics data based on hidden and visible tags. This data-driven approach enables you to gain insights into content performance and user engagement.
• Reader access: Readers and users with limited editor permissions can see all cards tagged with visible tags, making it easier for them to discover and engage with relevant content.

How tags enhance your experience

Tags are more than a feature—they’re a game-changer for how you organise, analyse, and deliver content. By seamlessly integrating tags into the tchop ecosystem, we empower you to streamline your workflows, enrich user experiences, and elevate your platform’s impact. Here’s how:

1. Improved organization: Tags allow you to categorize and organize your content efficiently. Hidden tags help keep your backend organized, while visible tags make it easier for your community to find and engage with relevant content.
2. Better analytics: With hidden and visible tags, you can access detailed analytics on your content. This data-driven approach allows you to understand which types of content perform best and make informed decisions.
3. Enhanced user experience: Visible tags make content more discoverable and interactive for your users. By clicking on a tag, they can explore all related content, leading to a richer and more engaging experience.
4. Streamlined workflow: Default tags at the mix level simplify the content creation process. Users don’t need to worry about manually adding tags, reducing the chance of errors and ensuring consistency.
5. Administrative flexibility: Org admins can rename tags, switch between hidden and visible tags without the need to retag cards, and delete tags as needed. This flexibility ensures that your tagging system remains dynamic and adaptable.
6. Potential personalization (Planned): We are planning to introduce personalized content feeds based on the visible tags users follow. This means users will receive tailored content in their news feed, enhancing their engagement and satisfaction with the platform.
