Working with Game Properties in Easy-Scout Professional

Each game in the Easy-Scout Professional database has a Game Name. In addition, a Game may have two "properties", or attributes: Comments and a Video File "association".

Game Name - The Game Name groups plays into a collection. Games Names consist of up to 15 characters, which can be a combination of Letters and Numbers. 

Game Names should begin with Letters, NOT include punctuation and each Game must be given a different GAME NAME, meaning it must be unique (not previously used). 

Game Comment - Game Comments include descriptive information and notes about the game. (Optional)

Game Video File -  In Easy-Scout XP Professional, it is possible to associate a video file that is in one of the supported video formats (wmv, avi or mpeg) with "scouting" or play identification data. 

The Game Properties screen, shown below, makes it possible to change the name of a game, add or change comments, and identify a video file that should be associated with that game.

The "VCR" Buttons make it possible to navigate through the games in the Easy-Scout database. Changes to any of the Game Properties can be made by clicking in one of the text boxes and typing. Changes can be Saved (save) or Discarded (revert) by clicking the appropriate button.

It is possible to "link", or associate a video file that is stored on a drive attached to the computer running Easy-Scout XP Professional with game data that has previously been entered using the Game Properties function.  This is done by clicking Browse to locate and select a video file in one of the supported video formats (wmv, avi and mpg) and clicking SAVE to "associate", or connect the video file and game data that was entered previously.
