Using the Easy-Scout XP Plus Menu

All functions and commands available in Easy-Scout can be accessed from Drop Down Menu items listed along the top of the main window (File, Edit, Game, Report Manager, Utilities, Help) - just above the toolbar

Menus consist of one or more options related to the Menu title.

The most frequently used Menu is the Game Menu, which is used for Managing Information  (adding, editing and deleting Games). The Game Menu also launches the Play Analyzer (View Games).

In Easy-Scout, a "game" is a collection of plays that are grouped and stored together by a game name. A "game" includes information about the plays in the game.

A Game may include all plays in a football game,  (Offense and Defense) or it may be broken into one or more subsets - Offensive or Defensive plays.  While Easy-Scout can record information about both teams (Offense and Defense) on a particular play, it is important that the Offensive and Defensive teams are the same for all plays.  Said another way, a separate "game" should be created for a team's Offensive plays and the same team's Defensive plays. 

The Report Manager is a tool for quickly printing Offensive OR Defensive tendency reports when a game .  One or more standard, built-in reports can be printed for single or multiple games to reveal Offense OR Defensive tendencies.

*Reports can also be printed from the Data Analyzer when the user wants to "filter" plays based on one or more specific criteria.

The Utilities Menu provides access to a number of settings, maintenance and program customization functions.
