Player Reports

Player Reports allows you to create custom Player Report Templates that coaches use to evaluate players via the LeagueApps Play mobile app. Player Reports can be shared with parents/guardians when the coach is ready—they are private by default. This feature provides your organization a powerful tool to share feedback with families throughout the season. 

How it works:
Admins create Player Report Templates (reusable across teams/seasons)
Coaches generate individual Player Reports from templates in the LeagueApps Play mobile app
Coaches share completed Player Reports with families via email or the Play app
Publishing = making a template available for coaches to use
Sharing = making an individual Player Report visible to a family

Creating and Managing Templates

Step 1: Create a template

Templates must be created by a LeagueApps administrator with the access of Site Admin or higher. 

• To begin, log in to your management console then go to Manage and Player Reports.
  
• If this is your first template, click the Design your first player report template button. If you already have templates created, click Templates in the top, left-hand corner then click the Create a template button.
• Once in the template builder, complete the following items:
  • Template Name
  • Description
  • Rating Scale (all Player Report Attributes must have the same Rating Scale)

Step 2: Add Player Report Attributes

Next you'll need to add attributes, which are the criteria that players will be evaluated, such as speed or agility. Attribute titles and descriptions will be visible to athletes, families, and coaches. Use this field to give context on how this attribute is being evaluated.

Click the Add an attribute button at the bottom to add your first item.

Tools to manage Player Report Attributes:

• Reorder attributes by clicking the dots on the left to drag and drop.
• Delete attributes by clicking the trash can icon on the right.
• Change the Rating Scale for all attributes by choosing an option from the drop-down at the top of the list of attributes.

Step 3: Save, Publish and Share

Whether you're finished with your template or not, you can save your progress by clicking Save a Draft at the bottom of the page.

If you're satisfied with your template and ready for it to be used, click Publish Player Report at the bottom of the page.

Lastly, in order for coaches to be able to share completed Player Reports with parents & players, the final setting must be enabled.

Managing Templates

You can manage templates from the Player Reports page. From there you can perform these actions:

• Create a template
• Edit a template
• Publish a template
• Unpublish a template
• Reorder columns
• Arrange rows by ascending or descending

Creating and Sharing Player Reports via LeagueApps Play

Once you have created and published a Player Report Template, your coaches can then create Player Reports for rostered players via the LeagueApps Play mobile app.

Prerequisites

There are important prerequisites that must be completed in order for a coach to be able to create reports and parents to be able to view them:

• Published Player Report Template: A Player Report Template must be created and published.
• Only rostered participants: Coaches and players must be on a team/roster in LeagueApps. This feature is not available to free agent/individual registrations.
• Staff permissions: Coaches must have the permission to evaluate players. This can be set by an administrator by going to Settings then Staff Roles. 
• Roster visibility: Rosters must be shared with team participants. Check the program's preferences.
• Mobile App: Player Reports can only be created and shared via the LeagueApps Play mobile app on iOS or Android.

Creating a Player Report

• Head to the LeagueApps Player mobile app and login with your email address and password.
• Once logged in, tap the Team icon at the bottom of your screen then tap on the team name where you want to create a report.
  
• Once on the team page, tap Player Reports and Start a player report.
  
• Choose the player you want to evaluate and complete the form. The player's parents/guardians will see all information entered here once it's been shared.
• You can either save a draft or complete the report. Once completed, you will be prompted to share the report with the player if an admin has set the Player Report Template to be shareable.
  
• A completed report will look like this. You can tap the three dots in the top, right-hand corner to edit the report or unshare/share the report if the Player Report Template is shareable.
  
• Parents will receive an email and push notification when the report has been shared.

• Search for reports by name
• Set filters on several criteria
• Reorder columns by drag and drop
• Arrange items ascending or descending
• View a report
• Edit a report
• Unshare or reshare a report
