Tags create a systematic way for Organizers to filter and group Events together to streamline the multiple-event registration process for Invitees.
Tags also combine similar Events on a Listing Page, enabling Organizers to promote them with a single URL and filter Event information.
EventBuilder Tags Quick Facts:
-
Tags are Portal-wide and available for use by all Admins and Organizers.
-
Administrators can set permissions for Organizers to create Tags, or set Tag creation to be performed at the Admin level only. Learn more: Portal Permissions
-
EventBuilder recommends creating a strategic and standardized naming convention for Tags.
-
Event Tags are different than social media hashtags – no # symbol is necessary but may be used if desired.
-
EventBuilder software will recognize the following non-alphanumeric characters: # (hashtag or pound sign) and _ (underscore). Tags cannot have spaces and are not case sensitive.
-
When selecting a Tag to filter Events, a number will appear beside the Tag – e.g., CloudSeries (12). This indicates the number of Events with the CloudSeries Tag across all Users on the Portal.
-
Event Tags are not indexed by search engines.

Tags and Listing Pages
Use Tags to filter the Events you want to appear on a Listing Page. Listing Pages allow invitees to register for an event series centered around similar or connected topics, and for Organizers to narrow event search results for event reporting.
Note: If no Tag is selected when creating a Listing Page, all Events on your Portal will be added to the page you are creating. Learn more: Listing and Custom Pages
