Simple Dashboard

A simplified version of the dashboard as seen by the end-user. This shows the available areas as four main tabs along the top of the page. You'll also see a Season Summary area displaying some key information about the current season(s). The main area of this dashboard is consumed by three main dashlets which provide a quick insight into current standing and statistics relating to the currently selected season. It is possible to allow the users to rearrange these dashlets to their liking by simply clicking and dragging!

Detailed Dashboard

Using the Simple Dashboard as a basis, the Detailed Dashboard adds even more information for your users. In addition to the features outlined by the Simple Dashboard, the Detailed Dashboard adds a 'My Score Summary' to show the user their current scores and ranks for each season they are participating in. The 'Last Round Summary' is also added. This section outlines the winners from the last round of each season the user is participating in. Not also, in the Simple and Detailed Dashboards, the overlayed additional information.

The Team Ladder lists all teams in the currently selected season. For each team you can optionally show a number of fields including Played, Wins, Draws, Losses, Points For, Points Against, Point Difference and Total Season Points. A Legend is shown below the list of teams which explains each abbreviated column heading.

The layout of this page can change slightly depending which options are select in the Season and Game setup areas. This shot shows a Round that also allows the user to tip the margin for each game. Also, the team logo for each team is optionally displayed.

Below the tipping is the DoubleUP field which doubles a user's score for that round. Below that is where the user can enter a comment for the round.
