Using Custom Tags on edocr Having lots of great content is a wonderful thing. But it is even more wonderful if your content can be organized in a way to be easily found. By now you should know that edocr extracts all of the text in submitted documents and for our Premium, Charity and Educational users we submit that text to be indexed by search engines. We also create a word cloud of the most used words in every document, which also adds to the richness of search engine optimization. And now we allow you to add your own tags (# hashtags) to your documents, for custom grouping and searching for documents. These Custom Tags are submitted to our site map to further enrich your SEO optimization. Note: This is for Premium Level Accounts Only! Importantly, edocr is moving toward more useful control of the documents stored or linked to on our platform (we collate documents stored on other cloud storage platforms). We know most of our customers want their documents easily discovered via web searches, but we also have users that make all of their documents private, and they want to be able to find specific documents based on Collections, key-words, and now tags. But, the need to manage and secure the escalating volume of electronic documents (spreadsheets, word-processing documents, PDFs, e-mails) generated in organizations is an ever growing issue, and edocr is able to solve this inexpensively for small businesses, organizations and departments. So, by edocr allowing searching of only your own profile you now have a very powerful Document Management System for very little cost. (more details on this soon). Imagine storing hundreds of documents in various folder collections on edocr with the ability to search and find the document you want in seconds. Documents that are securely stored and automatically backed-up. Think edocr, because we are almost there! Below are some screen grabs demonstrating how to use custom tags. First, you will find the Custom Tag interface under Viewer Options when you create or edit a document. Notice the hashtag designating the Custom Tag field, where for demonstration we typed 'blog': You may enter up to five custom tags, separated by a comma, and when you hit 'Enter' your selection is added and noted above the field: So, this screen grab shows a share with the auto-generated word cloud from the text in the document: Then, we edited this document to add some custom tags. It is not hard to see which are the custom tags we added (hint, we made the Custom Tags a different color): Click on an auto generated text word cloud orange tag and you end up with a edocr-wide search results of that tag as a list of documents. Click on the green Custom Tag and the edocr-wide search results (we will discuss 'Profile only search' at a later date) are presented as a collection of thumbnails representing an associated document, such as: Each Custom Tag is, in fact, available as a collection of 'tagged' documents, so if you type edocr.com/tags/manuals you end up with: And, if you wish to follow a Custom Tag, just 'click' Follow under the Collect Name and be notified when someone adds a new document with that Custom Tag. As always, thank you for your use of edocr. Please let us know if you have questions, comments or suggestions via our Help Center.
