The Tagging Cloud Control displays existing tags in a word cloud or as a data view on appropriate pages.

This control is capable of showing hashtags that have been entered and saved in a text field, provided this feature is enabled in the properties dialog. It provides a visual representation of tags, enhancing data categorization and navigation.
