Adding or Creating User Interests

Adding or creating User Attributes or Interests is a key step in the segmentation process. It will allow you to segment by, and therefore communicate with, members based on their interests and preferences regardless of the company or the building that they work in.

Adding User Interests from the Catalogue

The User Attributes Catalogue enables you to select from example User Interests and apply these to your site. Equiem Admins are able to add additional Interests to the Catalogue.

To add User Interests from the catalogue, head to the Taxonomy page and click the Attributes tab at the top of the page. Scroll down to User Attributes Catalogue. Click Open Catalogue to view the example User Attributes.

Open

Click to highlight the User Attributes  you’d like to apply to your site.  Once highlighted, click the Right Arrow to move them to the My User Attributes column. You can highlight multiple User Attributes at a time, and you can also click on a User Attribute a second time to deselect it.

Open

If you accidentally move a User Attribute into My User Attributes, you can click to highlight it and use the Left Arrow to move it back to the Catalogue.

Click Add User Attributes to apply the User Attributes to your site.

You will see that the User Attributes you have applied are now added in your My User Attributes list.

Users will then be able to add that Attribute as an Interest on their profile.

Creating new User Interests

If your desired User Attribute is not available in the User Attribute Catalogue you can create your own.

To begin, head to the Taxonomy page and click the Attributes tab at the top of the page.

Scroll down to Add User Attributes.

Type the name of the required user attribute, select the plus sign and then select Add User Attributes. The Attribute will now be available within the My User Attributes list. 

Users will then be able to add that Attribute to their profile in the interests section.
