Before you begin
To learn basics of video tagging, refer to this article. States
The primary purpose of a state is to associating multiple labels with an event, without clicking on all label buttons. States are particularly useful for recording slowly-changing properties of a game, like scores, match halves etc. Any label of a secondary category group can be set as its state. Subsequently, when new events get created, labels that are currently set as a state will be added as a tag to these events. To set a state, you can either "Control + Left-click" or simply "Right-click" on desired label button. This will set the selected label as the state of its associated secondary category group and present a drop-down that includes all labels from the secondary category group. You can modify or update these labels within the state using the drop-down arrows and clicking to select different options.
Setting Up States
To set up such states, follow the steps outlined below:
- In the Tagger app, initiate a state for a secondary category group by either using "Control + Left-click" or "Right-click" on the desired label button.
- Upon clicking the label button, "STATE" will appear on the label button in the top right corner, indicating that the state has been set up. Simultaneously, a dropdown menu with labels will appear above the button panel, showing the secondary category associated with the label.
- To remove a state, select the "Remove" option from the dropdown menu.
- After setting up states, click on a primary category to create an event.
- Upon clicking on a primary category, the labels marked as states will automatically attach to this event.
