Tags must be applied to appear in charts, reports and filters (2026 app ver.3)

Charts in Blippit Boards are powered entirely by tags. If a board is not tagged, it will not appear in the relevant chart or in filtered reports, even if the content clearly relates to that area.

In summary:‍

• ‍no tag = not counted in charts or reports

‍

Need help applying tags?

You can:

• open an existing board
• tap Edit
• swipe left to Tags -> +Manage Tags
• select the categories and apply tap tags
• tap X -> tap the tick icon

(Older help articles may show a previous design, but the tagging process is essentially the same.)

Why tagging matters

Tagging ensures that:

• your moments appear correctly in charts in the app
• filters return accurate sets of boards
• reports reflect the real picture across the school
• Subject Leaders can see how their subject is surfacing

Without tags, moments exist, but they remain undiscoverable to others.

Minimum tagging expectations

As a bare minimum, we recommend every board is tagged with at least

• Key Stage (England) Progression Steps (Wales)
• Year Group
• Subject

Teachers may also add:

• award or framework tags (Eco-Schools, RRSA, Global Neighbours, etc.)
• whole-school priority tags
• bespoke school or Trust tags

The more relevant tags added, the more meaningful your charts and reports become.

Better tagging = better insights

More detailed and accurate tagging leads to:

• clearer patterns in charts
• stronger discussion in subject reviews
• better identification of strengths and gaps
• less manual “chasing” of evidence later

Admins and Subject Leaders can, where appropriate, edit colleagues’ boards to improve or complete tagging so that the data reflects reality.

Example:

• a SENDCo may supplement Inclusion tags into a somebody else's board where they notice opportunities have been missed, strengthening inclusion insights across the school.

When tagging should happen

Tags can be added or edited at any time, but best practice is to:

• apply tags when creating the board
• review or add additional tags soon after publishing

If tagging is left until later, boards may be overlooked, which can misrepresent subjects or themes in charts and reports.

‍

The key principle

This applies to every tag and every chart: a board will only appear in a chart or report if the relevant tag has been applied. For example:

• if a board is about Science but is not tagged Science, it will not contribute to Science chart data.
