How do I force ONLY those entries with a certain tag to appear by default?

Question

I recently imported my LastPass info to 1Password, and the import was successful. In LastPass, there are "folders" in which I organized my items.  These "folders" came over to 1Password as "tags".

I would like to configure 1Password so that when I open up the 1Password web page or the 1Password Firefox plugin, by default I only see the entries associated with one specific "tag" and no other entries.

I know that with a few mouse clicks I can manually change my 1Password view to only show the entries associated with a given "tag", but I'm hoping that there is some way that whenever I start 1Password, entries with a given "tag" are shown automatically by default, without my having to enter any mouse clicks at all.

Thank you very much in advance for any ideas or suggestions.

Is this possible?

1Password Version: 8.10.8
Extension Version: 2.11.0
OS Version: Linux (ubuntu 20.0.4)
Browser: Firefox

Hi there @HippopotamusMan

In this particular situation, I'd suggest the following:

Create a new vault called something meaningful like Startup or whatever you like.
Move the items with the appropriate tag into that new vault.
Create a collection containing that vault.

Then, when you choose that collection at the top of the sidebar, 1Password will remember which one is active.

If you want, you can include multiple vaults (even from multiple accounts if you have them) in the same collection. For example, I have an "Everyday" collection which has some of my work vaults and my personal vaults, but none of my testing stuff to keep it streamlined.

It might be worth having a play about with vaults and collections to get things set up the way you want. Let me know how you get on or if I can be of any help. :)
