Organize Insights search results with tags
If you want to classify specific mentions in your search results, you can use tags to apply custom labels to them. For example, you can highlight important authors, assign mentions to specific categories, or flag individual mentions for follow-up. Your organization shares the same set of tags, so you can use them in any of your organization’s saved searches.
Note: Insights tags are not associated with Hootsuite post tags. These are independent and used for managing Insights mentions only.
