Taggers Totalling Functionality

Advanced insights with Tagger's totalling functionality: count totals, calculated totals, and presentation formats.

Introduction

Tagger includes robust totalling functionality for advanced performance analysis. A core capability is the ability to calculate both count totals and calculated totals, giving analysts greater flexibility when interpreting match data.

In this post, we explore how calculated totals unlock deeper insights and how Tagger's presentation formats, including the Totals page, Comparison Tables, and Info Cards, improve the clarity and communication of key metrics.

Operands: Enabling Deeper Analysis

Tagger's calculated totals are built on operands, the core inputs used in each formula. While many examples focus on individual players, operands are equally valuable for team-level analysis.

For example, to evaluate defensive output, you can combine count totals for successful tackles, interceptions, and clearances. The resulting total provides a clear view of the team's overall defensive contribution.

Operators: Expanding Analysis Capabilities

To support flexible analysis, Tagger provides operators (+, -, *, /, %) for calculated totals. Selecting the right operator allows users to model different performance questions with precision.

In the defensive example above, using the plus operator to combine tackles, interceptions, and clearances gives a cumulative measure of defensive activity. Similar logic can be applied to build custom metrics across phases of play.

Presentation Formats: Enhancing Visualization and Comprehension

Tagger offers multiple presentation formats for count and calculated totals, helping users interpret data quickly and accurately.

Totals Page

The Totals page provides an organized, comprehensive view of count totals and calculated totals. It acts as a central workspace for exploring accumulated data across time periods, players, and positions. This holistic view supports faster, evidence-based decision making.

Comparison Tables

Comparison Tables provide side-by-side views of count totals and calculated totals for each team. This format makes it easier to evaluate relative strengths, identify performance gaps, and track trends over time.

Info Cards

Info Cards deliver concise, visually clear summaries of totals. They present overall values alongside period-based breakdowns (for example, halves, quarters, or custom intervals), making trend identification faster during live or post-match review.

Dashboard: The Hub for Insights

The Totals page, Comparison Tables, and Info Cards are all integrated into Tagger's dashboard, a centralized hub for analysis. Users can customize layouts and prioritize the visuals most relevant to their workflow, creating a practical, insight-focused environment.

Final Thoughts

Tagger's calculated totals make it possible to apply meaningful operations to both count totals and calculated totals, helping analysts examine player performance, team dynamics, and match trends in greater depth.

Together, the Totals page, Comparison Tables, and Info Cards provide a strong presentation layer for that analysis. These formats improve clarity, support faster interpretation, and help teams turn raw totals into actionable insight.
