Display Studio: How do I build a requested stats button for Daktronics Show Control System?

Topic

Making and using an ERTD requested stats button in Show Control's Display Studio
Request stats to play for a specific team or individual player

Environment

Product: Display Studio
Components: Stats Request
Control System: Show Control System (SCS)

ERTD Stats Requests let you create one piece of content and reuse it for multiple players or teams. Use an ERTD Stats Request to populate the desired player/team stat on the fly without creating a dedicated piece of content for each beforehand.
For example, if you want to show a player's Free Throws Made/ Attempted/Percentage, you can create ONE piece of generic content; then, during the live game dynamically select any player that comes to the free throw line via the Stats Request scripting button.
