What is a Tag?
A Tag in GPSports is a 'label' that is attached to an Athlete, Session, Split, position or venue for the purpose of identification and/or grouping by the label for analysis. Any label can be used as a Tag but the objects available for tagging are limited.
Once Objects are tagged, Cloud Widget Filters can be utilized to filter data based on selected Tags for advanced data analysis. Please see our guide GPSports Tags for more information on how to filter data using Tags.
