Ability to export individual tag boards
M
Maegan Pisman
Currently, you can only export tag boards by exporting all tags in a project. If you only want to export one tag board, you need to manually remove other tag boards from the exported CSV file.
This would be useful for those who want to have a copy of their individual tag boards for future use or to share with others as a tagging taxonomy.

Hello Maegan Pisman! Following up on this:
- Can you provide more details on how you envision the process of exporting individual tag boards?
- What specific information from the tag boards do you find most valuable to export?
- How frequently do you anticipate needing to export individual tag boards?

I create a global taxonomy in workspace tags (i.e., I do not use project tag boards except on rare occasions and probably wouldn’t at all now that there’s tagless highlights).
Because this kind of taxonomy is broadly applicable, I’m asking for the ability to export a copy of my taxonomy as a csv, so I can use it as a “foundational” taxonomy when creating a new taxonomy or if I move to a different Dovetail account. A scenario where the latter might happen is with consultants/freelancers who help businesses establish UXR practices or work on projects. I would bring my taxonomy csv to help establish their global taxonomy (I create a global taxonomy that’s at least 50% applicable to any company).
In the export file, I would expect it to have the board name, tag category, tag name, and tag definition.
Unless there is a world where I create variations of my standard global taxonomy, I would do this export once. The import of a CSV across accounts could be any number of times as I change projects/accounts (i.e., as a freelancer or FTE).

Also, in very large companies where lines of business operate completely independently (e.g., they have separate Dovetail accounts), it would be good to be able to export a global taxonomy board and share it with another line of business.
