Tags help learners find relevant courses and learning paths in WebLink by improving search results. Use tags to describe the subject matter or skills covered, so users can quickly narrow down content.

Overview
Tags can be applied to Course Templates and Learning Paths. When a learner searches in WebLink, the system:
- Searches the titles of course templates and learning paths
- Searches for matching tags
Tags can be single words or short phrases. A good tag should be specific enough to guide learners without being so broad that it returns too many results.
If a tag is applied to a large number of items, it may not effectively help learners refine their search results.
Examples of good tagging
Example 1
A course titled Sushi for Beginners might use the tag Cooking to help learners interested in cooking discover it.
Example 2
A course titled Excel for Beginners could use tags such as Spreadsheets or Office. If your catalog includes many Microsoft courses, using Microsoft as a tag may be too broad to be helpful.
Add tags

Manage tags
In addition to applying tags on individual items, you can manage all tags from the Control Panel.
- Go to the Control Panel.
- Open the Tags section.
The tags list shows:
- All tags currently in use
- How many course templates and learning paths use each tag
Reviewing this list helps ensure your tags remain useful. Tags applied too broadly may reduce the effectiveness of search and filtering.
Edit or delete tags
- Edit a tag to correct spelling or adjust naming.
- Delete a tag to remove it from all associated course templates and learning paths.
You are prompted to confirm before deleting a tag. Selecting a tag shows the list of courses and learning paths that currently use it.
