  • Consider how you and your team search for files. Use keywords that describe both the contents and purpose.
  • Create tags that represent both general and specific aspects of the files.
  • Be flexible. There are many ways to think about files and there is no limit to the number of tags you can use.
  • You do not need to include keywords from file names. Genesys Cloud’s search engine looks for matching text in file names, tags, and within the files themselves.
  • Consider designing your tag strategy offline before building it in Genesys Cloud. This strategy allows you to see where you have enough tags and where more would be beneficial.
  • To help find specific files and related files, assign multiple tags to each file.
  • You can always add or remove tags as your content repository expands.
