How Do I Add A Tag To An Outcome In Skillways?

Overview

Skillways includes a tag feature (separate from skill tags) that allows you to organize your data and filter for search purposes. The key difference between skill tags and tags is that skill tags are sourced from standard skills taxonomies and databases whereas tags are fully customizable allowing clients and admins to set them up according to their needs to help filter and organize content and data. For example, you might add a tag to maps or learning paths used in the same program or training to be able to easily search for them. The tag feature can also be used with outcomes to add additional mapping for accreditation purposes (ex. for essential accreditation competencies for a specific discipline). Tags related to outcomes show on the curriculum map in list, lineage, and preview and are available for all levels of outcomes.

To add skill tags see How Do I Find, Add, and Delete Credentials (Skill Tags)?
