One tap to record
Record common desk interactions quickly, even during busy service moments.
Fast capture, familiar data
Capture public service activity without slowing staff down.
Tapboards turn common Gimlet entries into simple buttons for reference, technology help, circulation, directional questions, and more. Staff still create clean, structured Gimlet data; they just skip the repetitive parts.
Built for each desk
Arrange a compact 5x5 grid around the activity your branch, desk, or department sees most.
Consistent statistics
Preload categories and tags so repeated interactions are counted the same way across service points.
Built for local workflows
Give every service point its own quick-entry board.
Tapboards put the interactions staff see every day within easy reach. A quick tap records the moment, while Gimlet keeps the resulting statistics consistent behind the scenes.
- Group common desk activity into a focused 5x5 board.
- Keep categories and tags consistent without extra typing.
- Let routine interactions move as quickly as the desk does.
Desk rhythm
Keep statistics consistent across service points.
Create separate Tapboards for Reference, Circulation, departments, events, or temporary projects. Each board can emphasize the interactions that matter in that moment while keeping the resulting statistics comparable.
