How to access a Substorm
Access a Substorm by clicking the cloud icon in the top right corner of an Index Card.
Note: This feature is only available to our Business and Enterprise subscribers.
Substorms allow you to see all the ideas grouped together on an Index Card in their own Storm — a Storm within a Storm.
Substorms have their own independent templates and reports.
To access a Substorm:
-
Every Index Card has an icon that looks like a cloud with an arrow pointing down, click on it.

2. You will be taken to a substorm that will look like this:

All the stickies in the Substorm will be there, and will look exactly like they do in the main Storm.
Substorms work exactly as any other Storm. The Storm Administrator can perform the same actions, such as changing and editing the template of the Substorm, organizing all the stickies however they like, etc.
There is no limit to how far Index Cards can be nested!
