I manage the ADF Stats which includes both men's and women's matches currently
managed in two Databases. With the change to CricketStatz, we are considering moving to the online version but that will depend on our finance people.
I would like to combine both of our databases for simplicity (ie one database for all - one set of umps, scorers, grounds, clubs etc) but I have concerns about being able to filter the reports.
Currently we play against a number of external teams, but for our reports we only really care about the stats for the ADF players (for the most part). In the PC version, I simply used Rating 1 for all ADF players. Is this still possible with the online databases?
Also, given that plan to pool the Men's Stats and the Women's Stats into one place I would assume that I could give all the female players a Rating 2.
Further Questions:
Is there any scope for including a field for male/female
In the players profiles, would it be possible to create a check box to only create reports for people checked?
Cheers

Hi Darren,
Firstly, having separate databases for Men and Women is really easy to administer. I have several leagues doing it that way - including Cricket Tasmania and Cricket Leinster. You can "Switch" between the databases as an administrator by simply clicking Switch within the admin panel.
If you wanted to keep them combined then the new "Pools" feature within Cricket Statz online would be a great solution. You can tag each match pool as either Mens or Womens and then all of your reporting can be filtered by pools.
Hope that helps.

How do I filter the lists that are presented to people going to our site so that it only shows the ADF players in the list rather than all the opposition players as well?

If you select your ADF club (via the Clubs menu item on the public site) then it will show a sub-site for ADF players only.

That will only provide the details for player who have played for the ADF. By ADF players I actually mean players who are members of the ADF (including those who have only played for their respective service). Cricket ADF is the overall Association, while Army, Navy and Air Force are the clubs but we often have 'visiting'clubs in our competitions and our Rep Side plays external clubs.
When using the v11 database, we simply gave all ADF personnel a 'Rating 1"and used that as a filter when running statistical reports. That no longer looks like it is available.
The alternative to Ratings in Pools - so again, using pools will solve this. However, it may not be an option if you are combining Men and Women into one database since you would be using pools for that.
It may be a good reason why having two databases might be a better option.

And it should also give you an option around starting a new database (we can't "delete" databases other than you going and deleting all of the matches).

The pools field won't work as it is not a person specific field rather its a match specific field. Basically, I want to be able to set the reports up such that when people go into the Players and Officials page they are only present with the ADF Players (not necessarily people who have played for the ADF Team but all the members that have represented When people the Australian Army, Navy and Air Force.
If you look at the first screen of our list, the first Cricket ADF, Australian Army, Royal Australian Navy or Royal Australian Air Force person doesn't show up until well down the list. Hence why I would like to be able to create a background filter for the ADF Pers.
Also, would it be possible to have a filter system on the public side that allowed you to filter by club, season, active, and pool?
