What are page tags? 

Tags are simple text labels that further describe or categorize a page; for example, a public zoo workspace may use an "animals" tag to identify pages about their special tenants, or a business may use departmental tags to enhance organization and the ability to find information.  You can add tags to any workspace page by clicking the "Add Tags" link on your workspace's right panel (see image below).

 

 


Searching for Tagged Pages

Can't remember the name of a page, but remember it's tag?  Use your workspace's search tool to search for pages marked with a tag by entering tag:"anytag", replacing "anytag" with a tag that you have attached to the page.

 

Example: to search for all pages tagged with a "report" tag, enter tag:report into your workspace's Search bar. 


 

Listing of All Tags and Tagged Pages

For a complete list of all tags and tagged pages, you can direct your workspace's users to your tags.php page by entering the following URL into your browser's address bar: "yourworkspace".pbworks.com/tags.php, replacing "yourworkspace" with your workspace's name.

 

Example: for a list of all tags used by the PBworks Manual, check out usermanual.pbworks.com/tags.php 


 

The template Tag

If you tag a workspace page with the word "template" (no quotes, lowercase), it will show up in your list of templates when you create a new page. A great way to reduce repetitive actions, this is especially good for invoices, grading rubrics, or anything else you can imagine!
