Tag Cloud Management

"Tags" are words describing the content of a website. Tags can be displayed in "tag clouds" to provide a visual depiction of what's popular on a site. In EPiServer Commerce tags are used to provide a list of popular searches generated by users when searching for a product on the site. The search tags are displayed under the Popular searches part of the main menu. Selecting a word in the list will display products where the specific search tag applies to the product description..

The EPiServer Commerce sample site comes with a tag cloud plugin for managing the tag cloud. This is accessed from the Action Window of EPiServer CMS. From the Tag Cloud Management section in the Action Window, you can manage the tag cloud list items, and perform tasks such as updating the name and hit count for a tag, or delete a tag.

Listing tag cloud items

  1. In EPiServer CMS Edit mode, open the Action Window.
  2. In the Action Window, click Tag Cloud Management. A list of existing tag cloud items will be displayed.

Sorting the tag cloud list

The tag cloud list can be sorted by tag name or by hit count. Click column headers Name/Hits to sort in ascending or descending order.

Searching for a tag

To search for an existing tag, enter part of or the full tag name, in the Search for a tag field at the top of the tag list.
