How do I import a Stat Crew season into DakStats for display purposes?

This feature allows the DakStats user to import Stat Crew season XML files for both the home team and the visiting team to populate the season data for display purposes. The import tool should be used by Daktronics display customers and should not be used to import Stat Crew data for Web-Syncing purposes.  

DakStats must be version 4.62 or greater to use the Stat Crew Import Season tool. Please update the customer if they do not have this version.

    • Set the Season Stats section to MLB Season Stats (even though the team is NCAA).

To import the season stats:

  1. Click File > Import Season Stats.
  2. Choose the season you wish to import into from the season drop down menu.
  3. Click the [. . .] button next to Home Season File to navigate to the home team's XML file. Select the file and click Open.
  4. Click the [. . .] button next to Guest Season File and navigate to the guest team's XML file. Select the file and click Open.
  5. Click OK.
  6. DakStats will prompt you to match up the teams in the XML files with those in the software. On the screen that appears (shown below), note the team listed below "Data from file being imported." If that team is also listed on the bottom half of the screen, highlight it and click Select. If that team is not listed, click Add New.

    Team is listed on the bottom half of the screen.  Highlight and click Select.

     
7.      The software may also prompt you to match up players from within the season XML file with those in the software, just like it did with teams. If the player listed on the top is also listed on the bottom, highlight the name and click Select. If the player is not listed on the bottom, click Add New.
8.      Click OK when you get the "Import Season XML Files SUCCESSFUL!!!" message.

 

The import process will add two games to your DakStats season, both on the day's date. One game will be labeled Box Tot Complete containing the season stats for both teams. The other game will be labeled PBP Not Started; open this game to enter stats for the day's game. DakStats will add the stats entered into this game with those in the Box Tot game for season stats to be displayed.

 

NOTE: When you play the same team on two concurrent days, you do not need to import a season file after the first day of play. Instead, change the date of the Box Tot game and the previously played game to be the day of the next game by going to Configure > Games. Next click Add New and add in a new Play-by-Play game for the day. As long as all 3 games are on the same day, DakStats will add the stats together for comprehensive season stats.
