Create and assign Subsystem Tags​

​Subsystem Tags enable users to filter Initiatives on a Transition Card or SDGs Alignment Card by one or more tags. These tags can be assigned to Initiatives to identify the one or many causal factors the Initiative is tackling. These tags can then be used to filter Initiatives on a Transition Card or SDGs Alignment Card – and when applied will display those Initiatives that are addressing different causal factors (or subsystems tags) of the Wicked Problem you are addressing.

 

Create a new Subsystem Tag ​

1. First, select the Subsystem Tags icon in the left-hand side navigation bar

2. Click on + Create New at the top of this new page

Assigning Subsystem Tags

Subsystem Tags can be added to Initiatives at any time, either at the time of creation, after it has been created or via a bulk upload of Initiatives. 

Lets look at each of these; adding to a new Initiative, an existing Initiative, via a Transition Card or SDGs Alignment Card, or through importing bulk Initiatives
