Schedule Builder
Schedule Builder allows Administrators and Coaches to build their entire schedule from a single interface.
The functionality weaves single events across series of events so that you can easily mix your game schedule with varying start times with your practice schedule held consistently on weekday afternoons.
To keep things simple, some of the more advanced features located in events have been limited, but can be adjusted once the calendar skeleton has been added.
Launch Schedule Builder
To get started, navigate to SCHEDULE and select the orange + CREATE EVENT button and select SCHEDULE BUILDER.
Add a Single Event
Get started by adding a single event. Single events are great for events that have inconsistent start times, locations or days of the weeks. To add your event, you will need:
Event Type - There are 3 default event types: Games, Practices, and Scrimmages. Custom events (like Study Hall, Weights, etc.) can be added by creating a single event.
Date - Select a single date for which the event will take place.
Time - Select the start time of the event. Lacrosse Lab will automatically assume the event is 2 hours. The end time can be updated as needed.
Location - Use the location search to find specific addresses or points of interest.
To add another event, select ADD EVENT.
Add a Series of Events
Series of events are great when you have events with consistent start times and on recurring days of the week. This is a great option for scenarios like practice where events are likely to be at the same place and time every day.
To create a series, select the RECURRING checkbox.
The components of a Series are nearly identical, but with some slight differences:
Date Range - Instead of selecting a single date, recurring events require the user to input a starting and ending date.
Series Days of the Week - Series of events recur on a weekly basis and will carry the same event type, time and location. Select the days of the week that this event will occur.
Making Updates to Events
To keep the Schedule Builder simple, some options have been limited and will require you to go back into individual events to make changes. A few items that will require you to go back include:
Game Opponents - Since the opponent will vary each game, you will need edit individual events to add the opponent.
Event Reminders - Event reminders can still be added by navigating to individual events where you can set the trigger time for each reminder.
Practice Plans & Scouting Reports - These are considered unique to each event and therefore will need to be applied to each distinct event.
