Screen Access Tags ​

Screen access tags provide collaborators with access to specific planning screens of the Application. Screens can either be visible or hidden from the user through the use of a screen access tag.

What a screen tag controls ​

A screen tag does more than gate the screen itself - it also drives what the surrounding navigation shows to that user.

WhereEffect
The screenA user without the tag can't reach the screen, including by URL.
Menu entriesAn entry pointing at a screen the user has no tag for isn't shown to them at all, so the menu renders differently per user.
Custom page contentMarkup wrapped in a <!--tag:NAME--> ... <!--tagend--> block is rendered only for users holding that tag.

Together these mean a single menu or custom page header can be attached across an entire application and still present each user with only the navigation they're entitled to - there's no need to build a separate menu per audience.

Note the difference between the first row and the other two. The screen tag on the screen is the actual control; menu and custom page filtering is presentation on top of it. A link hidden from a custom page still points at a reachable screen unless that screen carries its own tag.
