Manage Activeboards

Place the cursor over an Activeboard row and two icons will appear:

Heart icon: click it to mark an Activeboard as favorite (only for you). Your favorite Activeboards are listed in the Favorite Activeboards widget of your Home page.
Ellipsis icon: click it to open a contextual menu with the following options:

View	Opens the selected Activeboard.
Open in new tab	Opens a new tab in the browser to show the content of the Activeboard.
Manage user tags	Opens a window to create and assign tags. You can perform the following actions: Create a tag: click inside the field and write the desired name. Then select the Create row that appears highlighted below and click Apply. The tag will be created and assigned to this Activeboard and after that, you will be able to apply it to other Activeboards. Assign a tag: click inside the field and a dropdown will appear with the existing tags for you to select. After choosing one, click Apply. Remove a tag: if there is a tag applied, it will appear inside the field. Click the cross icon next to it and click Apply. The tag will be removed from that Activeboard but also deleted in case it was applied only to that Activeboard. 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. In the Activeboard Manager, you can perform the following actions once the tags have been created and applied: See applied tags: expand an Activeboard row and check the User Tags section. 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. User-dependent Be aware that tags are user-dependent, this means that only you will be able to see and use the ones you create and therefore you cannot see or use the ones created by others.
