We’re planning to use thesaurus terms to tag assets in a new project. What are the best practices in terms of using it ?
is it better to use data records in metadata instead of thesaurus terms for tagging assets?
can we make thesaurus terms mandatory ?
Which is better ? use thesaurus terms in asset Settings > Tagging or use as an asset picker in metadata ?
I didn’t see any recent discussions regarding thesaurus terms. Does that mean people use other methods for tagging ? if so please share any best practices for tagging and maintain a taxonomy for assets in Squiz
We do use tagging on our main site. We use it as part of metadata field, this way it can be enforced and set as required field.
I personally think that if your taxonomy is small, maybe under 10-15 items you are better of using select field in metadata, however ours is large.
There are some quirks/bugs in an interface. We only use it in admin interface so I am not sure how it handles in asset builder.
If you go to our website and do the search you will see filters/facets on a search results page the Result type and Clinical networks are driven by thesaurus.
