What are Participations Tags?
A participation tag is a 'label' that can be attached to an athlete in a period (period participation) or to an athlete in an activity (activity participation) for the purpose of identification and/or grouping by the label for analysis. Participation Tags can be created in the OpenField cloud and applied to athlete in periods and athlete in activities from both the OpenField console and cloud.
Widgets and average sets can be filtered by activity participation (athletes in activity) or period participation (athlete in period) to remove unwanted period or activity data for specific athletes, thus allowing users to have cleaner data for a more accurate comparison or analysis.
