โ“ Issue/Question

  • How can we update our sports calendar in ScorePlay so that our events/collections for our upcoming matches will appear when uploading content?
  • We wanted to ask if you could import the remaining matches of this season into the calendar
  • Our folders for fixtures are yet to be generated with the Opta link. Can we check if this can be set up now, please?
  • I cannot see collection X on the platform, could you please help?
  • The match collections for today are missing

ย 

๐Ÿ‘Œ Resolution/Answer

  • Choose what to synchronize
    • Select the sport, league and season
    • Select the ScorePlay season that matches the imported season
    • Select specific teams or all teams
    • Set the options:
      • Use flat structure: every match becomes a parent collection
      • Include past collections: adds past collections as well as future ones
      • Schedule a refresh synchronization (weekly or monthly is recommended) to keep the calendar up to date
      • Preserve collection details: collections you renamed keep their names and metadata. By default, they are refreshed from the provider on every sync

  • Submit the synchronization
    • Check the synchronization preview
    • Click Submit
    • You get a confirmation in your platform notifications

๐Ÿ”– Notes

  • To keep several competitions in sync (league, cup), run the synchronization once for each
  • If you can't find a collection in the preview, turn on Include past collections in the Options menu
