Adding filters (tags) to collection items

Adding tags

Tags are labels you can use to group items into categories. You can add multiple tags to a single item.

1. In the left sidebar, go to Website > Pages and select the page with your collection (services, products, blog feed, etc.).

2. Click on the item you’d like to tag, either from the left sidebar or the section.

3. Scroll to the Tags field in the left sidebar. Type a tag name and press the Enter key or Return key.

Now the item will be associated with that tag. When the tag is selected on the website, only the items associated with that tag will appear.

Repeat for each item you want to organize.

Adding subcategories

Categories are structured tags that work as Category: Subcategory. They allow you to organize content into dropdown menus.

To add a category:

1. Follow steps 1–3 from Adding tags.

2. In the Tags field, type your category and subcategory in the format: Category: Item. So, to add a category, you would type the category name and then the subcategory within it.

For example, if you wanted to sort a blog post about how to crochet a sweater, you would tag 1) Crocheting and 2) clothing type: sweater. 

This automatically creates dropdown menus for your categories. 

Deleting tags

1. Open the item that contains the tag you want to remove.

2. In the Tags field, click the x next to the tag name.

Once a particular tag have been removed from all items, it will no longer appear.

Hiding tags

If you want to keep tags for organization but not display them on your live website:

1. In the left sidebar, go to Website > Pages and select the page with your collection (services, products, blog feed, etc.).

2. Scroll and click Order & positioning.

3. Check off Hide actions for filters.

This hides tags from your live site but keeps them available in the editor. To show them again, uncheck the box.
