A tag is a non-hierarchical keyword or term assigned to an asset (such as a video, an image, a podcast or a gallery). This kind of metadata helps you describe the gallery/asset in the best way, increasing the organization of your media files and allowing for easy searchability.
“Tagging was popularized by websites associated with Web 2.0 and is an important feature of many Web 2.0 services. It is now also part of other database systems, desktop applications, and operating systems.” – Wikipedia
Cincopa enables users to add tags to their videos and galleries; this proves especially useful when grouping, managing, filtering, or searching items.
Tags are usually created by the uploader on-the-go and do not need to comply with any strict guidelines.
So, here’s how to most effectively use the “tagging” feature with your Cincopa assets:
- Search, create, add and remove tags in your Cincopa profile
- Create, add and remove tags in your Cincopa asset list from settings
- Add tags while uploading assets to the Gallery
Create, add and remove tags in your Cincopa profile from the Assets page
Log into your Cincopa Account or Sign up for a new Cincopa Account
