What can I do with the FITNESSGRAM™ 9 (FG™9) Data Input App?

The FG™9 Data Input smart phone application will allow you to enter FITNESSGRAM™ test scores for students in your classes using your smart phone.
 

What do I enter when it asks for the URL?

On the first setup screen you are asked to enter the URL where you access the FG™9 web application. This web address is fg9.ispod.info for NC and IsPOD users.
 

What if it can’t find the IsPOD FG™9 server?

Be sure you are connected to the internet.
 

Why do I have to select my state, district, and school?

Part of your identification in the FG™9 web application is your state, school district, and school building. That information, along with your username and password, allows the FG™9 database to authenticate you as a legitimate user. These security features help to protect the privacy of student data.
 

How many of my classes and assessments can I work with on my smart phone?

Once connected to the North Carolina FG™9 mobile application, your phone will sync your FG™9 class and FITNESSGRAM™ assessment data. Once synced, all available classes and assessments will be downloaded to your smart phone.
 

Can I enter scores when I am not connected to FG™9?

You will be able to work even without constant phone connectivity in your gym or outdoors. You must first sync your FG™9 information to your smart phone. Once you have completed the sync, you will be able to enter scores without being connected. Once you’re reconnected to the FG™9 server, you will be able to sync the scores back to your FG™9 system and update your FITNESSGRAM™ assessments with the newly entered scores. You can sync your FITNESSGRAM™ scores at any time when connected to the internet by clicking the sync button at the bottom of the screen.
 

What is the difference between “All test items for one student” and “One test item for all students”?

“All test items for one student” means that you will select one student from your class list and then enter scores for all of the test items for that one student before moving to the next student. This would be similar to working across a spreadsheet.

“One test item for all students” means that you will select one test item from your FITNESSGRAM™ assessment (such as sit-ups) and then enter that score for all the students in that class before moving to the next test item. This would be similar to working down a column in a spreadsheet.
 

How do I save the scores I have entered on my smart phone into the FITNESSGRAM™ web application?

When connected to the internet via your smart phone, you will click the “Sync” button at the bottom of the screen. Then, click the “Sync” button in the middle of screen. This will update all of your FITNESSGRAM™ assessment information in the IsPOD FITNESSGRAM™ database.
 

Why can’t I get my smart phone to sync with my computer?

You must be connected to the internet on your smart phone.
 

Sometimes I do not see the buttons on the bottom. Why?

When you are on a screen where data can be saved, the buttons on the bottom of the FG™9 mobile app are hidden so you can focus on either cancelling or saving the data by clicking on the “Cancel” or “Save” buttons at the top of the mobile app.
 

Why do some fields pop up a numerical keyboard and others a standard keyboard?

A field that only accepts whole numbers will pop up a number keyboard because a decimal point is not needed. A field that can accept decimal numbers will pop up a standard keyboard because a decimal point is needed or can be used.
 

What is the “Classes” button at the bottom of the screen?

Clicking this button will take you to the class selection screen. You may use this function to switch from one class to another at the end of beginning of the class period.
 

What is the “Settings” button at the bottom of the screen?

Clicking this button will take you to the settings screen.
