Activity Stream and Notifications

Does the Beta have the ability to subscribe to tags?

Apologies if this is documented somewhere, but I do not see this as an option under "Followed Activity".

Hi Ludek,

Yes, you can subscribe to tags on tag roll pages in Blogs or in Answers. If you click on a tag on a blog post or a question, it will take you to a tag roll page and you should be able to see the follow button if you are logged on.

Example: SAP Mentors Archives - SAP Blogs

Best,

Gabi

I'm curious why this is so fragmented by object type - if I'm following a tag, why would I limit myself to Questions or Blogs?

Using your SAP Mentors Archives example, in order to navigate to see all object types for a desired tag it requires me to jump to another page, and then I can filter by type.

I would expect type filtering to be a secondary need for a user to refine results, not start with Answers, then jump to tag filtered Answers, then move to all Tags, to then select only Blogs...

Am I missing something here - I thought tags were intended to glue associated content together around a theme, or for the primary base tags to be the replacement for Spaces?

Hi Jeremy,

thanks, I would agree from the perspective how you describe it. the intermediate step of showing all blog posts / Q&A for a tag might disappear and we might send you directly to the tag page, showing all available content. but we also look into the overall user need and that is what will define what should happen here. but personally I'm with you on that.

Hi Oliver - thanks for joining the discussion.  For me it boils down to seamless user experience, and the intermediate step you referred to is currently compounded by the SSO problems I am running into when jumping from xxx.sap.com to yyy.sap.com, etc.  Having to press the avatar or manually force logins makes it even more fragmented because of security challenges (I don't think this is limited to IE 11 but that is my browser).

It's not limited to IE.  Happens with Chrome too.
