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 for reporting or analytical purposes.
Accessing The Data Directory
- Click the Tagmarshal icon at the top of your dashboard.
- Go to the "Management" menu.
- Select "Data Directory" from the list.
Once opened, you’ll see a screen where you can view, add, or edit up to (4) custom data fields.
Purpose Of The Data Directory
The Data Directory enables you to capture information about your play that you may not automatically be capturing through your tee sheet integration with us.
Examples include:
- Gender - Male Only, Female Only, Couple(s)/Mixed Group, etc.
- Starting Tee - Use back most tee if multiple tees are being played
- Player Type - Member(s) Only, Members & Guest(s), Sponsored/Unaccompanied, Employee, Resort Guest, Public, etc.
- Event OR League Names - Track pace for specific events or leagues
- Checked In Or Not
These custom fields can then later be exported from the Round Report as a .csv file for Excel or Google Sheets. Once exported, you can sort as you see fit for deeper performance analysis and operational insights.
Creating The Custom Fields
- Click the "Edit" button on the Data Directory page.
You can define up to four customizable fields for data collection within your tee sheet & Round Report.
For each field, create dropdown options such as:
- Gender - Male Only, Female Only, Couple(s)/Mixed Group, etc.
- Starting Tees: Black, Blue, White, Gold, Red
- Player Type: Member(s) Only, Members & Guest(s), Sponsored/Unaccompanied, Employee, Resort Guest, Public, etc.
- Event OR League Names: Club Championship, Tuesday AM Ladies, Wednesday PM Men's, etc.
- Click "Save" when finished.
Once saved, you’ll receive a confirmation message indicating that the Data Directory template has been created successfully.
Using The Data Directory Fields In The Tee Sheet
- Go to your tee times by clicking on the Tagmarshal icon and navigating to "Starter" - Teetimes.
- You’ll now see the four new custom fields visible in your tee sheet view along with the drop down options you have entered. If you do not, click "Display Settings in the box located in the top center portion of the page and ensure "Display Data Directory" is enabled (toggled green).
When manually assigning tags, your Starter or any staff member can now record group details such as:
- Gender
- Starting Tee
- Player Type
- Event OR League Names
- Checked In Or Not
Once recorded and a tag or tags are assigned to that group, these details will then be automatically linked to this specifc round and will appear in your Round Report once the round is completed for further tracking and analysis.
The Data Directory gives you flexibility to:
- Capture custom data fields not provided through a tee sheet integration.
- Improve the depth and accuracy of your player and round insights.
- Export this additional data for management or committee reports and reviews.
