How do I use the Page Field Description and/or Call Up Number features in the Sport App Insert Graphics?

Environment

  • Product: SportApp
  • Component:
  • Control System: Live Book GFX®

Steps

Overview

The new Insert Graphics features can be used in these ways:
  • enabling the Page Field Description for a player-specific page shows the CU# field on the Page Field Editor panel and the details in the page description under the Show panel.
  • enabling the Page Field Description for a team-specific page does not show a CU# field on the Page Field Editor panel and the team must be selected, the details are shown in the page description under the Show panel.
  • disabling the Page Field Description for a player-specific page will show the CU# for the player but the details in the page description do not show the player information - only the custom description.
  • disabling the Page Field Description for a team-specific page does not show a CU#, the team must be selected, the details are not shown in the page description - only the custom description.
  • disabling the Page Field Description for a generic page uses the auto-generated CU# and will not show the details in the page description.

Call Up Number (CU#) 

The second digit of the CU# determines if the player is on the Visitor or Home team.
0 = Visitor, 1= Home.

To add a specific player, the last two digits of the call up number is the player's jersey number:
  • 0024 is a visitor player with jersey number 24
  • 0144 is a home player with jersey number 44
Use the CU# to add a player to a New Page to bring in the player details.
The CU# requires four digits but extra zeros are automatically added to the beginning of any number.
