Sportec Solutions

These are the steps to configure a Sportec Solutions dataset.

  1. Create a new dataset of type Sportec Solutions, specifying a name and (optionally) a prefix to use to identify the dataset and its values, respectively:

  2. Click Add. The dataset is added to the list, and it has an initial WARNING status as it contains no configured endpoints yet.

  3. Select one or more endpoints from the table in the Dataset configuration panel by double clicking a row. A new endpoint card is then created.

    Alternatively, you can enter a new endpoint by clicking Add new endpoint on the right-side of the panel, and then clicking on the empty endpoint that is added at the bottom of the table to configure it.

    Doing so reveals the new endpoint details in the Endpoint template parameters on the right side, where its properties can be entered.

    Endpoint Options: When adding a new endpoint, parameters (for example, parts of the endpoint whose value should be fetched from other endpoints) should be encapsulated in curly braces: {part_name}. The value inside curly braces is resolved either by using other endpoints present in the Dataset configuration table, or the ones specified in the Endpoint fixed options section of the right-most column in the main view.

    Using as an example the images above, the following endpoint /DFL-04.06-Heatmaps-Match/{Match}, would use the {Match} options from the respective endpoint in the table.

  4. Once an endpoint is added to a dataset, you can select the endpoint card. This reveals the Endpoint parameters panel on the right side, where its properties can be entered. You can now edit the endpoint configuration (Competition and Matchday, as shown in the image below):

  5. To change the polling rate (how often the Sportec Solutions remote host is polled for data, in s) for the dataset, select a card from the list and edit the Polling field in the Dataset parameters on the right-most column.

  6. When done, the data is added to the Dataset output table.

Filtering a Dataset

Values read from a file into a dataset can be filtered via the Filtering tool. To do so, select the dataset card, click on the hamburger menu and then press the Filter button.

A dialog visualizing the file's payload schema opens, where you can filter the source data.
