The TV Show Library for an event/league is used to store TV Show formats for future rounds, thus saving you from recreating them from scratch in future rounds.
In this article, we will discuss how to save a TV Show to the library, how to access the library, and how to update TV Shows saved to the library, and include TV Shows from the library in other rounds.
Save a TV Show to the TV Show Library:
When creating a TV Show in a round (Rounds > TV Shows > Add New TV Show), there is a section "Library" with the option to "Save in My TV Show Library" (as shown below).
When selected, the following options are available:
Do not include in any rounds: Saves the TV Show to the TV Show library only.
Auto-include in all future rounds: Saves the TV Show to the TV Show library and auto-include it in all further rounds. An example of this would be, you have a Club Championship with the same tournaments each round. It would be a good idea to auto-include this TV Show for all future rounds.
Auto-include in selected rounds: Saves the TV Show to the TV Show library and lets your select which rounds include the TV Show (as shown below).
Accessing the TV Show Library:
You can access your TV Show Library for an event/league by going to Rounds > TV Shows > TV Show Library (as shown below).
Click on "Yes" or "No" under "Auto Include?" to include/exclude these TV Shows within the current round or all future rounds.
Editing TV Show Saved to the TV Show Library and Included in Other Rounds:
Note: This only works for TV Show saved to the library and other rounds. For TV Show only save to the library, edit the TV Show in the TV Show library (Rounds > TV Shows > TV Show Library).
When creating a TV Show and saving it to the TV Show Library, and including it in other rounds (i.e., All Rounds, Select Rounds), there may be circumstances that you want to update the TV Show in the current round and all future rounds. In this case, follow these directions to update the TV Show and propagate the changes to the template saved in the TV Show Library and to future rounds where the TV Show is included:
Go to the first round you would like to make adjustments to the TV Show by going to Round > Select the Appropriate Round > TV Shows.
Click "Edit" for the TV Show included in the TV Show Library.
Make the necessary changes to the TV Show.
Check the box to "Update in My TV Show Library" (as shown below).
Select one of the available options:
Do not apply changes in any rounds: Changes will propagate in TV Show Library only and will not propagate in rounds where the TV Show is already included.
Apply changes in all future rounds where the TV Show is included: Changes will propagate in TV Show Library and in all future rounds where the TV Show is already included.
Apply changes in selected rounds: Changes will propagate in TV Show Library, and the manager will have the option to propagate changes to selected future rounds where the TV Show is already included. After the rounds are selected and saved, the manager will have the ability to change the selection by clicking on the "Edit" button displayed next to this option before saving the changes to the TV Show
Click "Save."
