Title: Add note to action summary
Post by: nhc on June 20, 2009, 12:39:13 PM
Hi,

Is there any way to add notes to the action summary during mid-way?

For example, I may want to do a chip count during breaks. Then if I added that to the export summary, the report will be more interesting?
Or it can be any other stuff happening, like maybe "Player A has a Royal Flush!"

The idea is just to be able to add notes impromptu. But it will be just added as a line in the action summary and do not disrupt the rest of the data.

Regards,
nhc

You can add notes to the notes section at any time during the tournament and they will be exported as normal.

Hi,

Can you show me how to do it? I don't see any options in Action Summary for adding notes impromptu during the game.

Also, how does one edit the layout of the action summary export?

See image.. is that not what you're after?

I'm not exactly sure now as you mention action summary.

Although, these notes are exported under TournamentComments=

You can also add items to the Tournament History.

The Tournament History is sort of a running log of everything (mostly) that happens during a tournament, including what time rounds change, or if you undo an action, etc.

The Action Summary on the Summary tab is simply a listing of all of the important actions that occurred during the tournament, like buy-ins, rebuys, and bust-outs.

As an example: you buy-in player A, realize this is the incorrect player to buy-in, undo the buy-in for player A and then buy-in player B.

The Tournament History will show that you bought-in player A, then undid the buy-in of player A, then bought-in player B.
The Action Summary will only show the buy-in of player B.  As far as the tournament is concerned, player A was never part of the tournament.

I've added an item to the to-do list to be able to include user-created Tournament History items in the Action Summary.
