How to manage my tag subscriptions ?

[Andre_Fischer]

I am looking for a way to add additional tags I want to subscribe to.

Looking into my account Settings

manage

I only find the option to select "Unsubscribe" (see screen shot below).

I searched for information that describes how to manage these subscription settings but with no luck.

I was wondering whether there is a hard limit of two tags so I unsuscribed from "OData".

As a result I am now only following two tags and still do not see an option to add any tag ...

So I am now reaching out to the community to find a solution and hope that the answer will help others to maintain these useful settings more easily 😉

To follow a tag, just click on it in the header of your favorite blog post or question to be taken to the tag page, then click the Follow button."

Still I find it wierd that there's no option to subscribe from the account setting page but only to unfollow.

Although the short and direct answers provided are effective, I am surprised that support didn't point you to the 'About Tags' page: https://www.sap.com/community/about/using-tags.html

IMO - there is a diminishing return on following too many tags, especially depending upon their activity levels. It's nice to have a list of followed tags to apply as a search filter in the Activity Feed, but it fills up quite quickly, and getting email notifications for tag followed blogs and/or q&a would be Inbox torture, because it's all or nothing, and you can't explicitly configure email to be only a tag or two.

Tag subscription means following a tag.

Navigate to a questions tagged page, e.g. https://answers.sap.com/tags/209057551571413566377230676804921 and click the Follow button.

You might need to refresh the Settings page to see the changes.

I am not aware of any limitation on the number of followed tags, but if there is one, it is definitely higher than 3 🙂

Hi Veselina,

One does not have to follow the question but the tag.

SCN support answered;

"To follow a tag, just click on it in the header of your favorite blog post or question to be taken to the tag page, then click the Follow button."

Still I find it wierd that there's no option to subscribe from the account setting page but only to unfollow.

I did not say to follow a question, the page from where you can follow a tag (the one for which I provided a link) is named in this way.

The alternative is to do it via a blogs page as the support told you.

Hi Veselina,

sorry, than I have not read your comment correctly.

Nevertheless it would be good in my opinion to have a "subscribe" button in the account settings as well or at least a hint that one should search an appropriate blog or question in order to follow the corresponding tag.

Best regards,

Andre
