Tagging for all document types in Lotus Quickr

The most important scope at realizing the tagging module was to implement this features also into the standard forms (i.e. task or appointment). With a clever architecture with three placebots, three views, one HTML form, a document and a JavaScript file you can deliver the tagging module to old/existing places or to a template. If the design elements are not found, no error will come up and the section is not built.

Here are some screenshots:


The tagging section at the bottom of a document in read mode - editors or higher can assign tags to a document. Notice: there is no customization in the form.


By typing some letters you get suggestions based on your input. Pick them with your up and down arrows on your keyboard or with the mouse. If you are ready save them or cancel to return to the old values.


And that´s it. The values are stored over AJAX in the backend document and are also available for the fulltext search.

For displaying all tags we implemented a tagcloud which is automatically added under the table of contents. The more often a tag is assigned to documents the bigger it's displayed.


By selecting a specific tag you will be redirected to the following view which shows all documents marked with this tag.
