Using Entry Tags in GravityBoard

GravityBoard integrates with the 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

Note: Tags only appear on cards when:
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
