Tags ​

Tags are categories you assign to areas and markers. Visitors can filter the map by tag to quickly find what they need.

Creating Tags ​

  1. Go to the Tags panel in the editor
  2. Click Add Tag
  3. Enter a name (e.g., "Food", "Shopping", "Services")
  4. Choose a color
Tags panel with color-coded tags

Translating Tag Names ​

Tag names follow the project's languages. Open a tag in the Tags panel, pick the language in Multilingual Content and enter the translated name — the language chip next to the field shows which language you are editing. A language without a translation shows the default-language name on the map. Tag colours are shared across languages.

Assigning Tags ​

Select any area or marker and add tags from the properties panel. An entity can have multiple tags.

How Tags Work for Visitors ​

When a tag filter is active on the published map:

  • Only areas and markers with the selected tag are highlighted
  • Other entities are dimmed or hidden
  • Search results are filtered to the selected tag

Best Practices ​

  • Keep tag names short and clear
  • Use consistent naming across levels
  • Limit to 5–10 tags for the best visitor experience
  • Tags are project-wide — the same tag set applies to all levels
