Thread Tagging & Labels Module Overview
Purpose
The Thread Tagging & Labels module is designed to facilitate the organization of threads by enabling users to categorize discussions using tags. This feature enhances communication efficiency by making it easier to manage and retrieve information.
Benefits
- Improved Organization: Tags allow for streamlined management of threads, reducing clutter and increasing accessibility.
- Enhanced Retrieval: Users can quickly find relevant information through search or filter functions based on tags.
- Tracking Capabilities: The module supports prioritization and monitoring of specific topics, aiding in efficient tracking of important discussions.
Usage Scenarios
- Educational Institutions: Organizing threads by subject areas (e.g., Mathematics, Science) to streamline academic discussions.
- Business Environments: Categorizing discussions by departments such as Marketing, Finance, or HR for efficient communication management.
- Project Management Teams: Utilizing labels to track task-related conversations, ensuring all team members stay informed and organized.
How It Works
The module allows users to assign tags when initiating new threads. Each thread is then associated with its respective tags, which are stored in the system’s database. This tagging mechanism enables users to filter or search for threads based on selected tags, enhancing navigation and retrieval processes. Developers can integrate this functionality into the platform’s interface or utilize APIs for seamless operation.
This module empowers users to maintain organized and efficient communication by leveraging the power of tagging, ensuring that discussions are both accessible and actionable.

Adding Tags
This feature allows users to assign tags to threads, enabling better organization. Tags can be created dynamically by users or predefined based on categories like “discipline,” “finance,” or “lesson.” Each thread can have multiple tags, and tags are stored in a structured format for easy retrieval.
Search and Filter
Users can search and filter threads using their assigned tags. The module provides an advanced query interface that supports boolean logic, tag combinations, and wildcards to help users quickly locate relevant threads.
Tag Suggestions
The system suggests tags based on the content of the thread or previously used tags. This feature improves efficiency by reducing the time spent on manually assigning tags and ensures consistency across similar threads.
Reporting and Analytics
Generate reports and analyze tag usage trends over time. Insights include popular tags, tag distribution across threads, and inactive tags. This helps identify patterns and optimize tagging strategies.
User Permissions
Define permissions for creating, editing, or deleting tags to ensure proper access control. Permissions are role-based, allowing administrators to assign tag management rights according to user roles.
Import/Export Tags
Import existing tags from other systems or export them for integration with third-party tools. This feature supports multiple formats (CSV, JSON) and ensures seamless data migration between platforms.
Audit Trail
Track changes made to tags and threads using an audit trail. This includes details like who modified a tag, when it was changed, and what the previous state was. It enhances accountability and helps in debugging issues.
Integration with Other Modules
The module integrates with other parts of the system, such as notification modules or workflow engines, to trigger actions based on tag assignments. For example, assigning a “critical” tag could automatically notify relevant stakeholders.
UI Enhancements
A user-friendly interface is provided for adding, editing, and managing tags. Features include a visual tag picker, auto-suggest dropdowns, and real-time validation to ensure smooth operation.
Maintenance and Management
The module supports bulk operations like deleting unused tags or archiving old ones. It also includes tools for managing tag synonyms and redirects to avoid redundancy and improve search accuracy.
Thread Tagging & Labels Module Documentation
This module provides functionality to tag threads for better organization and categorization. Tags can be used to filter threads based on specific criteria (e.g., by discipline, finance, or lessons).
1. API Endpoint Example (FastAPI)
Here’s an example of a FastAPI endpoint that creates and updates thread tags:
from fastapi import APIRouter, Depends, HTTPException
from typing import Optional
from datetime import datetime
import uuid
router = APIRouter(prefix="/thread-tags", tags=["thread_tags"])
# Mock database (replace with your actual DB implementation)
thread_tags_db = []
async def get_current_user():
# Replace with actual authentication logic
return "authenticated-user"
class ThreadTagSchema:
id: str
thread_id: str
tag_name: str
created_at: Optional[str] = None
updated_at: Optional[str] = None
@router.post("/", response_model=ThreadTagSchema)
async def create_thread_tag(
thread_id: str,
tag_name: str,
user: str = Depends(get_current_user)
):
"""Create a new thread tag."""
tag = ThreadTagSchema(
id=str(uuid.uuid4()),
thread_id=thread_id,
tag_name=tag_name,
created_at=datetime.now().isoformat(),
updated_at=datetime.now().isoformat()
)
thread_tags_db.append(tag)
return tag
@router.patch("/{tag_id}", response_model=ThreadTagSchema)
async def update_thread_tag(
tag_id: str,
tag_name: Optional[str] = None,
user: str = Depends(get_current_user)
):
"""Update an existing thread tag."""
for tag in thread_tags_db:
if tag.id == tag_id:
updated_at = datetime.now().isoformat()
if tag_name is not None:
tag.tag_name = tag_name
tag.updated_at = updated_at
return tag
raise HTTPException(status_code=404, detail="Tag not found")
2. React UI Component Example
Here’s a React component that allows users to add and edit thread tags:
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { useForm } from 'react-hook-form';
interface ThreadTag {
id: string;
threadId: string;
tagName: string;
createdAt?: string;
updatedAt?: string;
}
const ThreadTagForm = ({ onSubmit }: { onSubmit: (tag: ThreadTag) => void }) => {
const [existingTags, setExistingTags] = useState<ThreadTag[]>([]);
const [formData, setFormData] = useState({
id: '',
threadId: '',
tagName: ''
});
const [error, setError] = useState('');
useEffect(() => {
// Fetch existing tags from your API
fetch('/api/thread-tags')
.then(res => res.json())
.then(data => setExistingTags(data))
.catch(err => setError('Failed to fetch tags'));
}, []);
const handleSubmit = (e: React.FormEvent) => {
e.preventDefault();
onSubmit({
id: formData.id || String(uuid.v4()),
threadId: formData.threadId,
tagName: formData.tagName
});
};
return (
<form onSubmit={handleSubmit}>
<div>
<label htmlFor="threadId">Thread ID:</label>
<input
type="text"
id="threadId"
value={formData.threadId}
onChange={(e) => setFormData({...formData, threadId: e.target.value})}
/>
</div>
<div>
<label htmlFor="tagName">Tag Name:</label>
<input
type="text"
id="tagName"
value={formData.tagName}
onChange={(e) => setFormData({...formData, tagName: e.target.value})}
/>
</div>
{error && <p className="error">{error}</p>}
<button type="submit">Submit</button>
</form>
);
};
export default ThreadTagForm;
3. Data Schema Example (Pydantic)
Here’s the Pydantic schema for the thread tags:
from pydantic import BaseModel
from typing import Optional
from datetime import datetime
import uuid
class ThreadTag(BaseModel):
id: str
thread_id: str
tag_name: str
created_at: Optional[str] = None
updated_at: Optional[str] = None
class Config:
arbitrary_types_allowed = True
Usage Notes:
- API Endpoints: The provided FastAPI endpoints handle creating and updating thread tags. Use
POST
to create new tags andPATCH
to update existing ones. - React Component: The
ThreadTagForm
component provides a simple form interface for adding and editing thread tags. It uses React Hook Form for form handling. - Data Schema: The Pydantic model defines the structure of a thread tag, including optional fields like timestamps.
This module allows developers to easily integrate thread tagging functionality into their applications while maintaining a clean and organized codebase.
