On ShaunSocial, people use the hashtag symbol (#) before a relevant keyword or phrase in their post to categorize those posts and help them show more easily in search. Clicking or tapping on a hashtagged word in any message shows you other posts that include that hashtag. Hashtags can be included anywhere in a post.
All the hashtags that people included in the posts can be managed in admincp -> content manager -> Hashtags. For each Hashtags, you can set it as active or not. If it’s active, member can see it to select when typing # to start including Hashtags into a post.
