You can use tags to identify groups or categories of questions. SMART Response uses
the tags to sort responses to questions when you generate Student Performance and
Class Performance reports. For example, if you assign the tags "Difficult" and "Easy" to
the questions, SMART Response creates a chart in the report for questions with
"Difficult" and "Easy" tags.
You can assign multiple tags to a question by separating the tags with a semicolon (;),
for example, "Science;Nature" and "Science;Astronomy". SMART Response then
generates one chart with three bars for "Science", "Nature" and "Astronomy".
You can also create tag subcategories by separating the tags with a colon (:), for
example, "Science:Basic" and "Science:Advanced". In this case, SMART Response
generates a single report section for "Science" showing data grouped into "Basic" and
"Advanced" subsections.
