What's in the community?
In the community, you'll find project and tag board templates that have been published by the community.
Project templates include everything you need to set up your project. They're tried and tested approaches to help you get from raw data to insights. You’ll find the Readme, views, fields, tag boards, layouts, and more—just add data and get tagging.
Tag boards are tagging taxonomies that help you add structure to your analysis. You’ll find tags, groups, colors, descriptions, and ordering, and they can be applied to any existing project.
