Tags & tag sections
Tags, which you define yourself – for example, ‘Conferences’, ‘Postgraduate’ or ‘Research seminar’ – can help visitors filter a news page or calendar by their own interests.
If you manage one of these pages for a department, creating tags for your main demographics is a good way to organise the calendar by audience - for example, you could have tags for 'undergraduates', 'postgraduates' and 'staff'. Another benefit of tags is when embedding a news feed or calendar feed in a web page, you can choose to show only items that you've assigned certain tags.
