Sports Category Fields in Subject Info
Summary: mv7csx points out a lack of specific sports fields in the available options, particularly the absence of fields like Team Name, Team Level, and Position, which would be helpful during shoots. mbhqbd and mjhcq8 agree, noting their use of Groups and Custom Fields to indicate team information, though these methods have limitations. m54sde appreciates the feedback and plans to submit a feature request for additional sports-related data fields. mv7csx mentions difficulties when using Groups in Smart Capture mode, emphasizing the need for dedicated sports fields.
The Sports Fields available seems to be seriously lacking in options. Right now all that's there is Jersey Number.
Sports Fields that would be helpful in addition to Jersey Number:
Team Name
Team Level (like Varsity, Junior Varsity)
Position
If we could get more options in the Left Sidebar/Main Window (middle panel) in Capture Mode during a shoot. We currently use Groups to differentiate their team so that when they come up we can double check that they haven't switched teams from the time we were provided with the sports roster, and picture day. Some kids move up levels or change teams after a practice or two, and it would be great if we could just confirm with them that they're on that team. For a while I was using "Grade" for their team info, but I don't understand why there isn't something specific under "Sports" for this exact info. Varsity, Junior Varsity... all of these options are missing under the Sports category and it would be great if we could get more fields. I know we can use Custom fields, but that can get tedious trying to remember all of the field names that you use. Would be great to add options for Sports!

·3 months agoAgreed, more specific options in the Sports category would be amazing!
We currently input our data this way:
Group = Full Team name (Varsity Boys BKB)
Year = Varsity, JV, etc
Grade = Mascot + Sport (Warriors Basketball, etc)
Organization = School Name
We then have these field mapped to text fields on our product designs in designer. It is hard to explain and for new production team members to grasp the different things we put in Grade/Year depending on the job type. So great suggestion!!

OP4 months agoMy issue with using Groups for team name is that we like to check that the correct team is listed when we are in Smart Capture when tethering. Group is not available for the Subject Data Preview in smart capture mode.
Heather Lusk
·4 months agoAgree as well. We also use the Custom Fields, but basically use long Group names for each individual team.
