​​Subsystem tags enable users to filter initiatives on a Transition 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 – and when applied will display those initiatives that are addressing different casual factors (or subsystems tags) of the wicked problem you are addressing.
