GravityBoard integrates with the [Entry Tags](https://www.gravitykit.com/products/gravity-forms-entry-tags/) plugin to display tags on cards. Tags provide a clear, visual way to categorize and organize entries directly on your board.

---

## What you can do with entry tags

When Entry Tags is active, you can:

- See tags on cards: Tags appear at the top of each card with colored backgrounds
- Edit tags from the card detail view: Open a card to add or remove tags
- Control visibility: Show or hide tags using your board feed settings

---

## Requirements

To display entry tags on a GravityBoard, you need:

- The Entry Tags plugin installed and activated
- A form with at least one Entry Tags field
- A GravityBoard feed configured for that form

---

## Setting up tags on your board

### Step 1: Map the entry tags field

- Go to **Forms** > **Boards** and edit your board feed
- Open the **Configure Board** tab
- In the **Field Mapping** section, locate **Entry Tags Field**
- Select the Entry Tags field from your form
- Click **Save Settings**

### Step 2: Enable tag display

- In the same feed settings, scroll to the **Entry Tags** section
- Toggle **Enable Entry Tags** on (enabled by default)
- Click **Save Settings**

- The Entry Tags plugin is active
- An Entry Tags field is mapped
- **Enable Entry Tags** is turned on

---

## Viewing tags on cards

After setup, tags appear at the top of each card, above the card title.

Each tag includes:

- A colored background defined in the Entry Tags field settings
- Readable text: Text color automatically adjusts for contrast

If an entry has multiple tags, they display side by side and wrap to additional lines as needed.

## Editing tags

You can add or remove tags directly from GravityBoard without opening Gravity Forms.

### To edit tags on a card

- Click a card to open the **card detail view**
- Locate the **Tags** field
- Click the field to open the tag dropdown
- Select a tag to add it, or click the **×** icon to remove a tag
- Click **Save**

Changes sync immediately, no page refresh required.

**Note:** GravityBoard does not support creating new tags. You can only select from existing tags or remove tags that are already assigned.

## Troubleshooting

### Tags are not appearing on cards

- Confirm Entry Tags is active: The integration requires the plugin to be installed and activated
- Check field mapping: Ensure an Entry Tags field is selected in Field Mapping
- Verify the toggle: Make sure Enable Entry Tags is turned on
- Confirm tags exist: Entries must have tags assigned

### Tags are not saving

- Check your permissions: You need edit access to the card
- Verify the form field: Confirm the Entry Tags field still exists on the form

### Tag colors look incorrect

- Update tag colors: Colors are controlled in the Entry Tags field settings
- Clear your cache: Your browser may be displaying cached styles
