Using the Tag Sidebar

The Sidebar is a powerful feature that allows you to monitor group pace, log interactions, and manage player assignments in real time during a round. Follow these steps to use it effectively.

1. Open the Tag Sidebar

  • Click on any player tag on your map to open the sidebar on the right side of the screen.

2. Review Pace Information

  • The static header displays the group’s pace for each hole played.
  • The pace wheel indicator shows the group’s current pace status (Red = Slow, Orange = Delayed, Magenta = Delayer, or Green = On / Ahead of pace).

3. View Critical Round Information

  • Below the header, review key round metrics:
    • Actual stock time of the group
    • Starting hole
    • Current location
    • Gap time to the group ahead
    • Current length of play
    • Projected round time
    • Current goal time (shown in blue if variable)

4. Analyze Hole Times

  • Green indicates the group is on-pace or ahead of pace for that hole.
  • Red indicates an off-pace or a slower pace than provided for that hole.

5. How to Log Player Assistance Interactions

  • Choose between two options when logging interactions:
    • Quick Interaction: For short check-ins with unpaced or delayed groups.
    • Interaction: For detailed notes on assistance provided to slow or delayed groups.

6. How To Record Interaction Details

  • Click Interaction to open a text field.
  • Type a description of the event and save the note for reference during or after the round.

7. Assign Players To Tee Times

  • For unassigned tags, cycle to the correct tee time for the unassigned tag and then click the "Assign Tag" button to allocate that specific player or players to that specific tee time.
  • If your course uses a tee sheet integration, you can also confirm that your tags are being automatically assigned.

8. Manage Round Controls

Use round controls to:
  • Adjust start times
  • End rounds for quick cart reuse or in emergencies.

9. Adjust Starting Time for Inactive Carts

  • For inactive carts, use Round Control to manually adjust the starting time and hole.

10. Check Device Information

At the bottom of the sidebar, view device details including:
  • Last communication time
  • Battery percentage
  • GPS fix locations

11. How to Customize Sidebar Modules

  • Click the Settings icon to rearrange or hide sidebar modules.
  • Drag and drop key information to the top for faster access.

Notes

  • Log all interactions promptly to maintain accurate round records.
  • Double-check player assignments to avoid confusion during play.

Tips for Efficiency

  • Familiarize yourself with the sidebar layout to quickly access data.
  • Regularly monitor the pace wheel to proactively manage group pace and prevent delays.
