Re: Reusable Locations
>Is there some reason you want to prevent teams/coaches from seeing the schedules in the other divisions? If you don't mind letting them see the other divisions, then as I said last post, you can accomplish this by displaying at the bottom of the screen your 3 custom categories and the 'Show All'. Then players and coaches would just select their division custom category to review, and the others would be hidden (actually a horizontal bar on a date would indicate other events). Everyone, including your administrator, could click 'Show All', and see everything.

That is fine at the overall division level, but on a given evening, there are 4 meets occurring within just ONE division.

Parents have a lot to deal with. They only want to see their team's schedule, not the entire division's.

I am doing the websites for the PSCHP (team) and the LBSL (League).

The site I shared was just for the PSCHP team (one team).
The calendar currently only has practices in it.
There are 4 practice groups (Gold, Silver, Bronze, Ducks).
These are team-specific and independent of anything I'm been discussing, but that's what's on the calendar now and its working perfectly, because it has only one audience.

I chose not to allow the legend filtering, just in case a family has multiple kids in different practice groups. Once wrong click on a filter, and it looks like there is no practice for a particular group on a given evening....then parents and coaches get upset when they don't show up. Its manageable now (ie. not too cluttered) showing everything.

To further complicate things, since our team is so large, the PSCHP team has 3 race squads (Red, Blue, Yellow).

For a given meet, the coach may only select 2 of the 3 squads to attend. This is a level of complexity, which I also haven't event gotten in to (yet).....but you can see how Red Division, and Red Squad within a team, for example, could easily be confused and then parents filter incorrectly and then don't show up for a meet. Very bad.

.....but multiple categories per event would handle that too.

For example....
Event#1: Categories: Blue Division, TeamA, TeamASquadRed, TeamB, TeamBSquadYellow

I get the filtering legend aspect, but this gets back to the challenge of each event having 3 distinct audiences (each of the 2 teams competing and then the coaches).

I can't figure out how to easily create one event and filter it so only teams A & B and the coaches see it from a division level. Let's skip the Division aspect for now and also the Race Squads within the teams and focus on just the teams.

If I duplicated the events (if TeamA were against TeamB), I would have

Event#1: Category: TeamA (Race squads would be listed in the description)
Event#1: Category: TeamB (Race squads would be listed in the description)

4 events per evening per division, 3 divisions, 7 race events per season.

84 events. I can probably create this within Excel then I can manually update the categories and the locations for each.

Mark, I don't know if you're reading this, but if you are, at least allowing category and street locations in the import would make things so much easier! tongue

The AB,AC thing was just every possible combination of teams competing....on the premise of creating a category for every meet...then shared out via a filter to just the 2 teams competition. It got so large it was an unmanageable concept, but it did eliminate duplicate events.
