When using Totara Engage, you can add site-wide tags as hashtags whilst creating or editing a workspace discussion or resource. Any user can add a site-wide hashtag, but only Site Administrators will be able to manage these site-wide hashtags.

From a workspace

  1. Go to Collaborate > Your workspaces. 
  2. Select the workspace you wish to enter the hashtag on.
  3. Enter the hashtag you want into the body of a discussion e.g. #important.
  4. Click Post

As you type any existing standard tags will be suggested to you. Then when you post the discussion the hashtags will become site-wide.

From a resource

  1. Go to Learn > Your library. 
  2. Click the plus icon () alongside Your resources to add a new resource.
  3. Enter the hashtag you want into the body of the resource e.g. #important.
  4. Click Next
  5. Decide who can see the resource. 
  6. Click Done

As you type any existing standard tags will be suggested to you. Then when you add the resource the hashtags will become site-wide.
