Content Studio: How do I create content using requested stats?

Topic

Data Studio sports apps provide requested statistics that can be added to Content Studio presentations and selected dynamically from Display Studio. Use this workflow to create player or team statistics graphics that allow an operator to select the desired player when running the content.

Environment

  • Product: Data Studio, Content Studio, Display Studio
  • Component: Data Elements, Data Paging
  • Control System: Show Control Suite

Steps

Before you begin
Confirm that the applicable Data Studio sports app is configured and providing data before creating the Content Studio presentation. This procedure assumes familiarity with creating and formatting data elements in Content Studio.

🔽Use the arrows to expand and collapse each section.  
Create the graphic layout
  1. Create a new or open an existing Content Studio presentation
  2. Drag the applicable player-identifying fields from the Dynamic Data Library onto the presentation
    • Example: Player-identifying information may include Name, Jersey, and Position  
    • Tip: Use Multiple Fields to combine identifying information. Use Shrink Text to Element when the displayed value must fit within a fixed area.
  3. Drag the applicable requested stats from the Dynamic Data Library onto the presentation
    • Example: A quarterback graphic might include Completion Percentage, Passing Yards, Passing TDs, and Interceptions. A running back graphic might include Carries, Rushing Yards, YPC, and Rushing TDs.
  4. Format the identifying information and statistics for the intended display layout
  5. Save the presentation as a Template before creating Records.
    •  Important: Saving the template at this stage preserves the RTD information if a Record is later removed.

Create the Record & filtering logic
  1. Select the data elements to include in the Record
  2. Under Data Tools, open the Data List tab
  3. Click Create Record
  4. Select the applicable List
    • Optional: To create a graphic containing multiple records, such as Stat Leaders, use Size to specify the number of Records
    • Important: A single Record cannot contain data from different nodes in the Dynamic Data Library
  5. Under Filtering, configure the Field values used to identify the available players
    • Example: For a quarterback statistics graphic, configure:
      • Position -> is -> QB
      • This limits the available selections to quarterbacks
  6. Add a blank filter for each identifying field the operator will choose in Display Studio
    • Example: Jersey -> is -> [blank]
    • Example: Last Name -> is -> [blank] 
    • Important: Include each required blank identifying field. These fields become selectable when the operator runs the button in Display Studio. 
  7. Save the requested-stat presentation to the applicable Content Folder

  

Create Requested Stats button in Display Studio
  1.   Create a new Script Button in Display Studio
  2. In the script-button setup, select the Requested Stat file
    • Verify that Selectable Data displays yes for the file
  3. Open Selected Stats
    • Tip: You can view available options by clicking on Data to ensure the Filtering is properly configured
    • Note: If the presentation contains multiple data sets, such as a Player Comparison graphic, a separate tab appears for each data set
  4. Select Prompt for each blank identifying field, such as Jersey is... and Last Name is....
    • Important: If multiple blank identifying fields exist, select Prompt for all of them. Missing a required field prevents the button from displaying the applicable data
  5. Select Save
  6. Press the newly created button
    • The player-selection panel opens on the right and displays the options allowed by the configured filters
  7. Select the desired player 
    • Note: Presentations containing multiple VMPFs or player comparisons may prompt you to select more than one player
    • Important: Select a player for each required field before selecting Accept. Fields left unselected appear blank when the button runs
  8. Select Accept 
  9. Verify your button by confirming that:
    • Selecting a player populates the requested statistics 
    • All configured identifying fields and statistics are displaying correctly
    • No expected fields appear blank
