Tag Boards can be used to maximize your film analysis while minimizing the effort needed to get the job done. In order to effectively set up your Tag Boards, you will first need to create some Tags.

1. Create your Tags

Navigate to the Tags section under Library, first create the Tags you will use on your Tag Board. Select the ( + ) Icon in the top right corner, give your Tag a name and select a color. Once you have created all the Tags you want, you are now ready to create your Tag Board.

2. Create a new Tag Board

Navigate to the Tag Boards section under the ScoreBreak Library. Next, select the ( + ) Icon in the top center of the screen. Here you will name your Tag Board, select the Icon and color scheme. Once those selections have been made, hit Done to create your Tag Board.

Now that your Tag Board has been created, you must name your section title and start adding Buttons. Tag Boards can be broken up into multiple sections on one board, giving you the ability to group Tag Board Buttons however you prefer. Name the section, and select "Add New Button" to start adding buttons to your Tag Board.

3. Add Buttons to your Tag Board

When Adding New Buttons to your Tag Board, you must select the Primary Tag and Button Action, but you are also able to use more advanced options like assigning Hotkeys and Linking other Tag Boards.

First step in adding a new Button is: Select a Primary Tag. The Tags library will open up and you now will find and select the Tags you want to add to your board. You can select multiple Tags at once if you want to create multiple Buttons at the same time. After selecting your desired Tags, select Done. Next, let's set the Button Action.

4. Select the Button's Action

There are three types of Button Action. The first two options are for creating Clips while the third open is for Labeling existing Clips.

Clip Recordings vs Droppable Pins:

ScoreBreak has two methods of clip creation: Recordable Clips and Droppable Pins. Recordable clips allow you to set the “in” and the “out” time of your recording, while droppable pins allow you to pin a moment in time, defined by a “lead” and “lag” time (requiring you only take one action to drop a pin, vs. the two actions required to start, then end, a recordable clip). So for Droppable Pins, make sure you set Lead & Lag time to determine the total duration of your Clip.

Tags / Labels:

The third Button Action is Tag Active Clip. This option does not create it's own Clip but it will add a Label to an existing Clip. You can Tag Clips you created or Tag Existing Clips created by the Boxscore Breakdown.

5. Advanced Tag Board Options

Under the Advanced area, you will see a few options; Button Hotkey, Linked Board, and Show Count. Button Hotkey allows you to assign a custom Hot Key from your keyboard to this Tag Board Button.

Linked Boards allows you to select a different Tag Board that will open up in place of your current Board. So when you select a Tag Board Button, you can start a Clip Recording using your base Board, then the Linked Board will allow you to add other Labels, or create additional Clips at the same time.

Child Clips vs Parent Clips: Any Clip created via a Linked Board will be a "Child Clip". Child Clips label the Parent Clip with their Tag while also having their own start and stop time, allowing for effective data collection. So in addition to adding the Tag / Label to the Parent Clip, the Child Clip will also be able to a separate Clip Recording.

Once your Primary Tag is selected, your Button Action is set and your Advanced adjustments have been made, select Done.

You have successfully added a new Button to your Tag Board. Repeat this process until your Tag Board is fully filled out, then jump into any Game to start breaking down your game film!
