Creating and Managing User Labels

Creating and Managing User Labels

Labels are keywords or tags that you can add to end users to categorize or identify them on the community. For example, you could add the label 'Expert' to users who've provided the best answers in the community. 

Benefits

  1. Labels help you manage your end users better. For example, when a new user comes in, you can assign them with an appropriate label to organize similar users into groups.
  2. Labels make it easier for other users to identify a user's area of skill, knowledge, or authority. For example, users are most likely to accept a solution from someone tagged as an 'expert.'
