breaking tags into two sets
May 29, 2012, 01:08:09 pm
Hello All,

Our organization has been heavily using tags and we have a large amount of them. In order to make it easier for users (and us), we want to allow users to select the tags that are best for themselves and divide our current selection of tags into two sets of choices. As an example...

we currently have...

tags
outfield
pitcher
short stop
small
medium
large

and want to have

position
outfield
pitcher
short stop

jersey size
small
medium
large

Two sets of choices instead of all the tags in our installation would be more clear to users. Is this doable? I know I could just make custom data sets but that means we would loose all of the current data which has been entered via tags.

Tks in advance for any input.

Are you using already tag hierachy? (ie setting the parent)

Hello Xavier... I did set parent. When I go to add a field to my profile, I get only tag(s).  We were hoping to have select box for each grouping of tags.

Hi,

It isn't possible now to limit the tags in a profile to list based on a parent. I don't think it would be super complicated to implement, but never had the need.

Do you think you could investigate?
