Manage Hashtags
Managing the hashtags on your domain
Shows you a consolidated list of all topics or keywords tagged using the hashtag symbol '#' (the number sign) in your domain. Use this module to find all posts, content, files, and more about a topic or keyword that your users are interested in. Hashtags automatically turn the topic or phrase into clickable links in your post. Hashtags help your employees find content in your domain that matches the topic or phrase.

Yes, the following are the rules when creating a hashtag:
- MUST be written as a single word, without any spaces.
- Can include numbers, but punctuation and special characters (like $ and %) are NOT allowed.
- Can use lowercase or uppercase characters and the case would be maintained.
- Needs to be at least 3 characters when created by a user.
A Super Hashtag is a great way to differentiate best-in-class, authoritative or base-lined content from the rest on your domain. For example, Rules and Guidelines of a online community group, Legal or Financial or Leave Policies of a company, etc. Super Hashtags are mainly used for ranking content - the content tagged with a Super Hashtag is displayed at the top of the search results on the User Portal when a user runs a content search for the associated keyword. The latest content associated with the Super Hashtag takes top priority in the search results.
Admin Defined hashtags can be edited by network admins only. User Defined hashtags can be edited by any user. Marking a hashtag as a Super Hashtag can only be done by network admins for both Admin & User Defined hashtags.
When you click on a hashtag, you get to see all the content that you have at-least 'viewer privileges' in your full domain.
Yes, this is one of the key benefits of hashtags. Users can 'follow' the hashtag that is of interest to them and they will be notified in real-time (across multiple platforms) when new content is tagged with it or existing content (already tagged) is modified.
To see how these configurations impact the Hashtags on the User Portal, see Hashtags in the User Portal Guide.
