Tag your group leaders automatically

Keep captains and vice-captains tagged on their profiles automatically

Leader tagging puts a tag on your captains' and vice-captains' supporter profiles, so you can find them as a group. It keeps the tags correct as people become leaders and step down, so nobody has to remember to do it by hand.

Admins only, and marked Beta

This lives under Settings > Configurations, on the General tab, in a section headed Tag your group leaders and badged Beta. Only admins can reach it.

Turning it on

Open Configurations

Go to Settings > Configurations and stay on the General tab.

Expand the section

Expand the section headed Tag your group leaders.

Turn on the toggle

Turn on Keep my group leaders tagged, and the tag fields appear once it's on.

Set a tag for each role

Set these three fields to whatever your organisation already uses:

  • Captain tags
  • Vice-captain tags
  • Admin tags

Save

Click Save, and existing leaders are tagged straight away, with the tags maintained from then on.

The Tag your group leaders panel, badged Beta, with the Keep my group leaders tagged toggle switched off

More than one tag per role

Each role takes more than one tag if you need it, which is useful when you're migrating. Keep the tag your nation already relies on, and add a new one alongside it.

What it does from then on

The tags update themselves as leadership changes. Promote a supporter to captain and they're tagged; remove them and the tag goes.

Where the tags work

The tags sit on the supporter profile like any other, so they work everywhere tags already work:

  • Tag filters
  • Blast targeting
  • Call lists
  • Your NationBuilder sync

Choosing tag names

Pick tags you'll recognise in your nation

These tags sync to NationBuilder along with everything else, so choose names that will make sense to whoever looks at your nation. captain is clearer than sb-leader-1.

Turning it off

Switch Keep my group leaders tagged off and save, and the feature stops maintaining the tags.

What happens to tags already applied

Tags already applied stay where they are, so turning it off doesn't strip your leaders of their tags. If you want them gone you'll need to remove them yourself.
