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.

Tips and Best Practices
