Taxonomy
Taxonomy is a system for organizing information. In the AcceleratorApp we use tags. Not only are tags used to classify information, but they can also be used to take action on a group of users, startups, forms, and documents via their common tags.
Only the admins and sub-admins of the incubator can create and edit tags.
Use of Tags in the AcceleratorApp
Some of the actions you can do once you’ve created and assigned tags include:
- Assign a metric to startups via common tags
- Assign tasks to a group of startups via common tags
- Restrict the visibility of an event via common tags
- Classify startup documents via common tags
- Sort forms via common tags
- Send emails to users or startups via common tags.
Types of Tags in the AcceleratorApp
- Evaluation Criteria: assigned to create scorecards for an evaluation or event.
- User skills: assigned to a user profile. A user will not be able to add their skills if user skills are not defined.
- User Tags: assigned to any type of user.
- Mentor/Experts Tags: assigned to mentor or expert user type.
- Startup Tags: assigned to startups.
- Community Member Tags: assigned to community member user type.
- Application Tags: assigned to the applications created by users of your organization.
- Event Tags: assigned to events.
- Form Tags: assigned to any kind of form.
- Other Tags: assigned to documents in the startup file.
