Why should I categorize my content?
When sharing content, it should be categorized using the SettlementAtWork vocabularies of defined terms. Doing so will make it easier for other users to find your content.
There are three vocabularies:
- Regions
- Topics
- Tags
Examples:
- Regions
- Content can be categorized with the term “Canada”, then more specifically categorized with the subset terms “Yukon”, “Northwest Territories” and “Nunavut”.
- Content can be categorized with just the subset terms “Yukon”, “Northwest Territories” and “Nunavut”.
- Topics
- Content can be categorized with the term “Accessibility”, and add more topics that apply to the content such as "Mental Health and Wellness" or "Workplace"
- Tags
- If your content does not fit any of the topics, you can yours in tags; or use one that someone else has already input.
