What is an Analytics Session?

An analytics session is a living container that ties video, tagging events, AI detections, and annotations together. Every match can have multiple sessions—wide angle vs. broadcast, coach vs. analyst perspectives, or experimental tagging templates. Sessions keep experimentation safe because you can promote the one you trust without deleting the rest.

Session Anatomy

• Video Sources: Up to three angles per session with independent playback controls.
• Timeline Layers: AI detections, manual tags, and coach notes stacked so you can toggle visibility per layer.
• Tag Board: Customizable sets of events (e.g., “High Press,” “Buildout,” “Shot Quality”) with keyboard shortcuts.
• Insights Panel: Auto-generated summaries plus manual callouts you pin during review.

When to Create Additional Sessions

• Comparing tactical angles (press camera vs. broadcast feed).
• Testing new tagging templates without disturbing the primary coaching workflow.
• Running “Player POV” sessions that focus only on one athlete’s involvement.

Lifecycle

1. Upload video → choose Create analytics session.
2. Configure tagging template and participants.
3. Run AI analysis or jump straight into manual tagging.
4. Promote the most complete session to Primary for downstream reports.

Sessions are collaborative by default—invite other coaches so you can divide the tagging workload and finish reviews faster.
