There was a feature added a long time ago where a sync button was added to the Match Progrsss page on the Android veraion. It doesnt actually work. The expected result would be for it to sync the tablets that are selected on the device sync page. What actually happens is you click on it and it shows messages pop up thay it does but it doesnt actually pull in the scores.
Any chance that this can be fixed? We have run this on state level matches with 20+ squads and hundreds of shooters which means we have tp go back/forth for every sync. I’d settle for a pull sync every 5 min.
Another issue is every time we have a DQ or DNF we prefer to go out and manually sync each tablet to the master to prevent someone from trying to shoot after they have been disqualified or DNF. I’d liKe to suggest the ability to push to the tablets from a master tablet. This would save hours of time from the stats team.
The same sync feature is available from many screens and it been proved to work. Though there might be some quirks.
The sync only pulls data from the tablets selected/checked on the sync screen. One at a time. So, you may see some success message(s) and some may fail to sync if tablet is not available (or not selected, or if its ip address changed over time).
When any stage or squad is locked on a given tablet - that tablet is assumed to be a scoring device AND for scoring tablets any sync does not pull any scores (but only the match, stages and competitor changes).
Also, the progress view may not reftesh with the updated match data. I have to look at that… In the meantime you may need to get out and then back in to the match progress view.
It is not possible to push data to the scoring tablets. And also it won’t be secure, as you won’t know and won’t have control who pushed which data to the scoring devices.
However if your range has wifi on all stages, and you are scoring on Android, your RO staff can simply tap the Sync button at the top of the squad list screen between squads (it could be under 3-dot menu) to get the latest squad changes. You need to make sure to select/check your Master tablet on the sync screen and also make sure it’s ip address does not change during the match, that setting will be on your wifi hotspot.
I would love to pull from the scoring tablets directly from the Match Progress page without the need to go into the Sync section and applying the changes there.
We don’t recommend pulling other tablet scores to scoring tablets. Then you have stages locked the tablet is considered a scoring device.
However you can sync the match changes right from the scoring screens - stages, squads and shooter lists. The action is in the top menu on those screens.
@euxx, I might be misinterpreting what you are saying; please help me understand. Here is my use case:
During the match, I have a dedicated Master Tablet to collect the data from scoring tablets for redundancy and provide the Match Director with information on progress.
I use the “Match Progress” page table (from the top right menu on the “Edit Shooters/Squads” page of the Android app) to observe the progress and present it to the MD.
The “Match progress” page has a refresh button at the top right of the screen, which I would like to use to update the table without navigating away from the page. When I hit the update button (two arrows in a circle), the tablet shows a load indicator and then pop-ups for pulls per scoring tablet, but the table doesn’t get updated.
I’m forced to navigate to the “Sync Devices” page, hit “Pull from selected” there, and then hit “Approve change” per each scoring tablet. Afterward, I can return to the now updated “Match progress” page.
Does this make sense? Can I do something to make updates to be applied right from the “Match progress”?
The sync direction is many scoring tablets pulling into one Master.
You may have to return to the shooter screen and then back to “Match Progress” to see these updates or have to use Sync options in the menu on the shooter list screen. I will address this in 2.x app.
