# Using Tag Cloud

This topic describes how an end user can use the Tag Cloud component.

Upon display of the component, the end user sees a summary of which textual attribute values (or tags) exist for a particular attribute across the current record set, where the relative significance of each textual attribute value is represented by the tag’s font size.

The component can be configured so that the end user can click on a tag to refine the result set to the records associated with that textual attribute value.

In the following example, the end user clicks on the fruit tag:

This issues a navigation refinement, which updates the Breadcrumbs component, along with any other components that uses that data source. The image below shows Tag Cloud and a related Results Table component after the fruit tag was clicked:

As you can see, the relative size of tags also changes, to accurately reflect the state of the underlying data.
