The tags block allows tags to be recorded against individuals. With tags, you can:
- Allow employees to set their own tags (default)
- Use free-text tags, such as skills, geographies, or interests
- Configure tags so workers can tag each other
- Search for other people by entering matching search keywords
Block settings
This block has no additional settings.
Adding tags
If a user has access to create a tag, they can click into the tags and add new ones. When adding a new tag, the app makes suggestions based on tags that other people have entered.
By default, a user is only allowed to tag themselves.
Adding tags is controlled by the permission Applaud Person Tag Create Permission (XXAS_DATA_PERTAG_CREATE). This permission uses the Applaud HR Person data object, which means you can control which user is able to create against whom. For example, you might allow:
- An employee to tag themselves
- A manager to tag their direct reports
- An administrator creates tags for anyone
To create a new grant for adding a tag:
- Navigate to Grants for adding a tag: Add under your Tags block
- Enter the grant information and save
To delete an existing grant, simply hit the Delete item action against an existing grant.
If you use more than one tag block: creating tags use the permission XXAS_DATA_PERTAG_CREATE, which means any grants you add or delete here will impact all of your tag blocks - not just this one.
Deleting tags
If a user has access to delete a tag, they will be able to select the arrow on a particular tag to delete it.
By default, a user is allowed to delete tags created by themselves.
Deleting a tag is controlled by the permission Applaud Person Tag Delete Permission (XXAS_DATA_PERTAG_DELETE). This permission uses the Applaud Person Tags data object, which means you can control which user is able to delete which tag. For example, you might allow:
- An employee to delete their own tags
- A manager to delete any tags of their direct reports
- An administrator to deletes tags for anyone
To create a new grant for deleting a tag:
- Navigate to Grants for deleting a tag: Add under your Tags block
- Enter the grant information and save
To delete an existing grant, simply hit the Delete item action against an existing grant.
If you use more than one tag block: deleting tags use the permission XXAS_DATA_PERTAG_DELETE, which means any grants you add or delete here will impact all of your tag blocks - not just this one.
