Creating and Managing Experience Categories & Tags

Keep in mind...

Experience Categories serve as umbrellas to house smaller experience tags within. Adding an experience tag to an activity makes it easier for students to filter through activities, and allows program administrators to run reports and analyze data based on your tags.

Experience Categories’ corresponding experience tags are displayed on each activity in the order the Experience Category is listed in the data tab. The Experience Categories are ordered as follows:

Symbols are listed above numbers (“- Test category”, “1. Test category”)

Numbers are listed above letters (“1. Test category”, “Test category”)

Letters are listed alphabetically (“Category tested”, “Test category”)

1. From the Dashboard, find your name in the bottom left hand corner, click settings, then data.
