ForceDecks Groups and Tags

About Groups and Tags

Groups and Tags in ForceDecks make sorting and analysing data significantly easier. 
Essentially, Groups are used to group Profiles and Tags are used to group Tests. Organisations that consistently use Groups and Tags find their data in ForceDecks is easier to access and report on.
If you are a VALD Hub user your existing Categories and Groups will automatically sync to ForceDecks.
Tags, on the other hand, can only be created in the ForceDecks.
Here are some examples of how Groups and Tags can be used in ForceDecks: 
  • To group clients with similar pathologies, e.g. A list of Injury Types
  • To group athletes who play the same sport, or in the same post position, e.g. A list of Sports
  • To separate tests performed during injury rehabilitation or in a fatigued state. e.g. A list of Statuses Groups and Tags in ForceDecks make sorting and analysing data significantly easier.
