Viewing Hit Locations charts on iPad
Posted: Thu Apr 21, 2016 9:44 am
I score our high school games on an iPad and our team manager views all the team stats on our iScore team website using his iPad. When we look at our team website Statistics page using our iPads and tap on the Hit Locations button on the top, we can see 16 of the players hit charts, but cannot scroll to see others. However, we have 23 players that have participated through the season and we'd like to be able to see all of them (since we can't sort the Hit Locations chart by Inactive, minimum # of games played, AB, etc.) to narrow it down to 16.
On my MacBook/desktop computer I can scroll the Hit Locations to get to page two and download/open it as a PDF file, but cannot do this on the iPad. On the iPad, I can tap and hold on the Hit Locations charts and select Save Image, but that sends a PDF to my Photos app which cannot be opened there versus sending it to iBooks that can open a PDF.
Also, if I look at my iScore Admin page on the iPad and tap on Hit Locations, I get an overlay window that I does not scroll down to select the specific League nor allow me to tap on the Run Report button at the bottom. This works OK on the MacBook/desktop computer.
The work around that I use for both situations is to tap and hold the Hit Locations button on the iPad until a dialog box opens with the choices to "Open", "Open in New Tab", "Add to Reading List" and "Copy". If I click on "Open in New Tab" on the team website, it opens the hit chart as a PDF file in Safari and I can look at all pages there or Open it in iBooks. From the iScore Admin page, clicking on "Open in New Tab" opens the hit locations league filter page in a new browser tab and it scrolls just like a regular webpage for full access to the information.
Another interesting item is that the two Hit Location charts can be different. It seems that the iScore team website Hit Locations chart includes all 23 players (1 inactive and 2 that haven't played in a game yet not in lineup). The Hit Locations chart from the Admin website filters out those three players and only gives me charts for 20 players even though 23 players are listed on the Admin site Roster. I haven't figured out how to control/change this on either the Admin or Team websites.
