Wiring the Tags portlet

The Tags portlet allows users to view content that is tagged with the tag selected from the portlet to aid in the discovery of content.

Before you begin

Add the IBM® Connections portlets to a Portal page before you proceed with wiring. The Tags portlet must be deployed on the same page with at least one other IBM Connections portlet. Read How the Tags portlet interacts with the other IBM Connections portlets for information about how the Tags portlet communicates with the other IBM Connections portlets.

About this task

Follow these steps to wire the Tags portlet to other IBM Connections portlets so that the Tags portlet can filter IBM Connections content that is displayed in the other IBM Connections portlets.
Note: Only the detail portlets can be wired to the Tags portlet. The summary portlets cannot be wired to the Tags portlet.

Procedure

  1. From the Edit Layout page of the page that contains the Tags portlet and at least one other IBM Connections detail portlet, click the Wires tab.
  2. Set the following wire from the Tags portlet to the corresponding IBM Connections portlets on the page:
    Source Portlet Sending Target Page Target Portlet Receiving Wire Type
    Tags Selected Tag {current page} {Blogs|Profiles|Wikis|Bookmarks|Forums|Activities} Selected Tag Public
  3. Click Add.
  4. If you have the Tags portlet that is deployed on a page with one IBM Connections detail portlet and want the Tags portlet to show tags that are associated with the view in the details portlet, set the following wire:
    Source Portlet Sending Target Page Target Portlet Receiving Wire Type
    {Blogs|Profiles|Wikis|Bookmarks|Forums|Activities} Tags Payload {current page} Tags Tags Payload Public
  5. Click Add.
