Setting Up Tag Libraries

Tag Libraries define the vocabulary you use to annotate clips. Set them up once, and they’re available across all your Clip Projects.

This feature requires a Solo subscription. Learn about our plans.

What’s a Tag Library?

A Tag Library is a collection of tags scoped to a sport. It contains:

  • Tags — the play types or events you want to track (e.g., “Shot on Goal”, “Turnover”, “Faceoff Win”)
  • Fields — additional detail dimensions that can be applied to tags (e.g., “Team”, “Player”, “Outcome”)
  • Field mappings — which fields apply to which tags

This structure lets you capture rich, structured data about every clip.

Creating a Tag Library

  1. Go to Account in the sidebar
  2. Scroll to the Tag Libraries section
  3. Click Create Tag Library
  4. Name your library and select the sport
  5. Click Create

Adding Tags

Within your library:

  1. Click Add Tag
  2. Enter the tag name (e.g., “Zone Entry”)
  3. Save

Repeat for each play type you want to track. Start with 5-8 tags covering the most common events in your sport.

Adding Fields

Fields add structured details to your tags:

  1. Click Add Field
  2. Enter the field name (e.g., “Team”, “Player”, “Outcome”)
  3. Choose the field type (text, dropdown, etc.)
  4. Save

Mapping Fields to Tags

Not every field applies to every tag. You map specific fields to specific tags:

  1. Select a tag
  2. Choose which fields should appear when this tag is applied
  3. Save the mapping

Example Setup (Hockey)

Tag Fields
Shot on Goal Team, Player, Outcome (Save/Goal/Miss)
Faceoff Team, Player, Outcome (Win/Loss)
Penalty Team, Player, Penalty Type
Zone Entry Team, Entry Type (Carry/Dump/Pass)
Turnover Team, Zone (Offensive/Neutral/Defensive)

Tips

  • Start simple — you can always add more tags and fields later
  • Be consistent with naming — “SOG” vs. “Shot on Goal” will cause confusion across projects
  • Use dropdown fields where possible — they’re faster to fill in and keep data consistent
  • One library per sport — if you coach multiple sports, create a separate library for each
