About the Taxonomy

Last updated: June 22, 2023

Taxonomy is the practice of categorization or classification. Taxonomies are used to name and classify things into groups within a more extensive system according to their similarities and differences. 

The Wide Narrow Taxonomy makes it possible to categorize, search and filter information in Wide Narrow easily. It also makes sorting out information for different target groups and deliverables easy.

The taxonomic classification system makes it easy to:

• Categorize content to enable search and filtering of content
• Create and save searches
• Create advanced filters to optimize Inboxes
• Display a spectrum of different content on Dashboards
• Send automatic newsletters with various content to different target groups
• Integrate and view selected information from Wide Narrow on other platforms

The taxonomy is organized into fields with subject-related categories and subcategories. The standard taxonomy fields are Topics, Players, and Geography. Other common fields are Information Type and Business Area or Product Area.

You can read more about the taxonomy in this Taxonomy Guide.

User Access: Only Superusers with Admin access can change the taxonomy. All users can use the taxonomy to filter information, categorize content and create saved searches.
