Existing tags

Take into account that the existing tags will remain as an option to select in the dropdown as long as they are applied to at least one Activeboard; if they are removed from that Activeboard you will have to create them again.

  • Filter by tag: click on Filters and use the Tags dropdown to select an existing one. Only those Activeboards containing that tag will be shown.
