How to Use the Data Directory 

The Data Directory allows you to create and manage custom data fields to capture additional player and round information. This enhances the detail and flexibility of your reporting and analytics.


Accessing the Data Directory

  1. Click the Tagmarshal icon at the top of your dashboard.
  2. Go to the Management menu.
  3. Select Data Directory from the list.

Once opened, you’ll see a screen where you can view, add, or edit data fields.


Purpose of the Data Directory


The Data Directory enables you to include information not automatically captured through T-sheet integrations.
Examples include:

  • Gender of players
  • Starting Tees
  • Player Type (Member, Guest, Mixed, Corporate, etc.)
  • Handicap Range

These fields can later be exported from the Round Report for deeper performance analysis and operational insights.


Creating Custom Fields

  1. Click the Edit button on the Data Directory page.
  2. You can define up to four customizable fields for data collection within your T-sheet and Round Report.
    • Example fields might include:
      • Gender
      • Tees
      • Player Type
      • Handicap
  3. For each field, create dropdown options such as:
    • Gender: Male, Female, Mixed
    • Tees: Blue, White, Red
    • Player Type: Member, Guest, Mixed
    • Handicap: 0–5, 5–10, 10–15, etc.
  4. Click Save when finished.

Once saved, you’ll receive a confirmation message indicating that the Data Directory template has been created successfully.


Using Data Directory Fields in the teesheet

  1. Go to your Starter teetimes by clicking the Tagmarshal icon again and navigating to that section.
  2. You’ll now see the four new custom fields visible in your T-sheet view.
  3. When assigning tags, your starter can now record group details such as:
    • Gender: Male
    • Tee: Blue
    • Player Type: Member
    • Average Handicap: 10–15

Once recorded, these details are automatically linked to the round and will appear in your Round Report for further tracking and analysis.
