Planner - Week, Month and Timeline Updates

Two changes to the navigation of the Planner this month.

1. You are now able to directly Generate a Report or Export data from the Planner section. This way, if you are viewing your data at this level you don't need to go back into the finder.

2. By using the Previous and Next buttons on the week and Timeline view you are able to jump ahead to the next set of data. This removes the need to change the dates in the date field.

The screen shots indicate the location of the new buttons.

New Reports - Events by Athlete and Type

A coach has always been able to export Event data to excel, but this month sees the release of two new powerful automatic reports. The Event by Athlete report lists all Events for a chosen athlete over a specified date range - showing selected search parameters (such as Competition, Training, Injury, Illness etc.) or all events.

The report Events by Type generates a report which lists all athletes under Event headings.

Expanded Training and Competition Events

In the same way Injury and Illness can be categorised, Competition and Training now have further options. This enables a coach to search at a later date for more parameters surrounding a particular Event.

The following two features have also been added to all Events, whether created at the  Calendar level or at the Status Form:
All Notes fields can now be formatted as well.
If the default All Day check box is unselected, then the time can be set by clicking in the time field and selecting from the drop down list

Competition can now be classified in terms of Win, Loss, Draw and Place with fields for Score, Position and Time available.

Training can now be classified in terms of Skills, Conditioning, Strength, Speed and Flexibility. A coach/athlete is also able to enter an RPE score and this combined with the duration (minutes) automatically calculates an RPE Rating.
