Tag Windows
Focus your event buttons on the events you need, and swap the sides of the tagging screen.
Overview
Tag Windows allow you to create focused windows for tagging specific events. A tag window displays only the events you choose, so you can concentrate on a subset of your event buttons — for example your own team's events, or a particular phase of play.
Tag Windows are particularly useful for teams using Tagger Rooms for multi-user tagging and live sharing, because each analyst can work in the window that matches their job.
Switching Tag Windows
The panel icon at the top of the event buttons opens the Tag Windows dialog. It contains:
- Main — the default window, showing all enabled events.
- One button for each custom tag window set up in your configuration.
Select a window to switch the event buttons to it. If no custom tag windows have been configured yet, the dialog tells you where to create them.
Swapping Sides
The same dialog holds the Swap Sides button. On tablet and larger devices the same action is also available as a shortcut in the app bar while you are tagging.
Use it when you are viewing the match side-on — from the touchline or the stands, for example — so that the on-screen team ends match the direction of play.
The button label always shows the current arrangement:
- Swap Sides (Team A left) — Team A's buttons are on the left.
- Swap Sides (Team A right) — Team A's buttons are on the right.
Swapping sides changes the event and player button panels. It also turns position maps that show team end indicators 180°, so the ends on the graphic match the new sides, while the Auto Swap Position Map Sides preference is on — which is the default. Turn that preference off to leave the maps alone and rotate them yourself with the rotation control. A new game always starts those maps at 0°.
Configuring Tag Windows
Tag windows are created in the configuration, so they can be tailored to each sport and shared with your team.
- Open Configuration.
- Select Events.
- Open the Tag Windows tab.
From there you can add, edit, copy and delete tag windows. Each tag window has the following settings:
| Setting | Description |
|---|---|
| Tag Window Name | Required. The name shown on the button in the Tag Windows dialog. |
| Enabled | Switches the window on or off. |
| Display | Both, Team A or Team B — controls which team windows are shown. |
| Events | Required. The events that this window will display. |
Next Steps
- Event Configuration — configure the events themselves
- Live Tagging without Video — the live tagging workflow
