Sorting and Filtering Reports

Most reports give you the option to select how to sort the report and also filter which players you wish to appear on the report.



Sorting a report


Each report has an option screen that appears before the report is displayed on the screen. A summary of how it will be sorted is displayed.

If you wish to change how the report will be sorted, click the Select How to Sort Report button and select the items to sort by.


Reports can be sorted by up to three items deep. Items can be sorted ascending or descending. TM automatically saves how the report was last sorted...so this will be how it is sorted the next time it is displayed.


Example: Assume you want a report to show team flight winners for a four round tournament with any ties broken by the USGA Tiebreak on the last round's score. You would set your report to sort first by flight (Sort A to Z), then total for round 1 to 4 (Sort 1 to 9), and finally USGA Tiebreak (Sort 1 to 9).





Filtering Players


Most "individual player" reports have an option screen that appears before the report is displayed on the screen. A summary of how it will be filtered is displayed.

Click the Select Players to Include button to customize which players you want included on the report:




Tip: You could mark a player with an "S" in his\her report flag.  When you print the Skins Report, instruct TM to only include players with a "S" in the report flag in the skins report. The report flags also allow for multiple selection criteria.  For example, assume you have some players that wish to participate in Gross skins, some in Net skins, and others in both.  You could mark the report flags with a G for gross skins, an N for net, and a GN for both.  When you print the skins report you can instruct TM to include only players with a G in reports flag on the Gross Skins and an N in reports flag for the Net Skins report.




Note:  TM automatically saves how the report was last filtered...so this will be how it is filtered the next time it is displayed.
