Custom fields are used to contain certain player information. Custom fields can be created to capture player information during event registration. You can create your own multiple-choice single answer custom field to capture what tee a player will play from during the event. When creating this type of question, you can specific the available tees for an event and limit them to choosing only one answer. The Tee Custom Field is a default field available for every event or league. The tee custom field's purpose is to allow you to quickly set the course and tee for a field of players when editing your pairings and setting the course and tee.
In this article, we will discuss how to create the custom field, assign the value for the custom field in the Player Profile, and use that custom field to assign the tee when setting the course and tee in the pairings.
Creating the Custom Field:
To create the custom field, follow these directions:
Go to create the custom field from:
Customer Level (Used across multiple events/leagues): Go to Customer Center > Customer Settings > Custom Fields
Event/League Level (Used for specific event/league): Go to Event > Custom Fields.
Click "New Custom Field" (as shown below).
Fill in the following:
Question/Field: What name should be given to the field.
Hint: Instruct golfers how to answer a particular question.
For "Answer Type" select the option "Multiple Choice - Single Answer."
Enter in the possible values for a golfer to answer the question (i.e., blue, white, red).
Click "Save."
Assigning the Custom Field:
When setting the course and tee in the pairing based on the custom field, it must be defined in the Player Profile. There are several ways to populate the field in a player profile:
Manually through the Player Roster Profile. Click Here for more Details.
Managing Event or League Roster via Spreadsheet. Click Here for more details.
During Event and League Registration. Click Here for more details.
Setting player course/tee in the pairing using the Custom Field:
Follow these instructions to accomplish this:
If no pairings are created, Create New Pairings by going to Round > Create New Pairings.
If you have created pairing already, go to Rounds > Edit Existing Pairings.
Click "Set Course & Tee."
Select one of the tees being played.
Select Front 9, Back 9, or All 18.
Click "Select All Players."
From the "Select by Custom Field" dropdown, select the custom field. After selecting the custom field, the possible answer will be displayed. Select the Custom field answer(s) to be used for that tee (those players will be highlighted.)
Click "Apply."
Repeat steps 4 thru 7 for all remaining tees.
Click "Save Pairings."
See the sequence below as we set some players on the blue, white and red tee using this method.
Note: Multiple custom field values can be selected and assigned to the same team (as shown below).
