Go to Management > Events > Event imports.
You choose via “+” Source: Czech Baseball Association
An individual import is made for each competition (so if you have 5 teams in 5 competitions, you fill in the form 5 times)
form:
Competition: select the competition you want to import events from
Year: select the season
Team: select your club
Event type - select which event type in EOS the newly imported events should be created as.
Event types
Create and set up custom event types suitable for your organization. These will be assigned to individual events, which will behave according to the parameters set in each type.
Organizational unit - if you have Organizational units created and the events should be assigned only to a specific Organizational unit, select it here. If you do not have Organizational units, leave the whole organization.
Season - select which season in EOS the events should be imported into.
Teams - select the team the events are intended for. If you do not select any, the events will be imported “for the whole organization” (you can also tick this option). In that case you will not find them among team events, but on the “For the whole organization” tab.
Match length: preset to 150 minutes, can be changed.
Grouping events:
do not group: events are imported as separate events into EOS.
by date: events taking place on the same day are grouped into one event in EOS. This event then contains all the information about the individual sub-events. This is used, for example, when importing matches where there are several matches on one day, from which one large event is created representing, say, a whole tournament, which is then better organized as one unit.
Name - you choose the name yourself.
Leave Active ticked.
What is pulled in:
match start = event start
team name and match number = written into the event name
competition and result = written into the event description
match venue = event venue and into the description
After connecting, on the Event imports screen you see a list of the imports you have created.
Thanks to the Search row you can find any event by its name.
The Displayed columns button shows only selected columns, with the option to sort them freely. You can add these:
Name of the import you chose
Import service: Czech Baseball Association
Status (according to the data EOS obtains from the association):
OK – the last import went well
In progress – the import is currently running
Failed – the last import was not successful
Not working – the import failed several times in a row (the last successful import was at least three days ago)
Waiting – the import is queued for processing but is not running yet
Did not finish – the import was terminated abnormally
Ended – the data has expired
Last update – the date and time of the last update
Next update – the date and time of the next update (if available from the association)
Active – yes/no
Valid until – the date and time until which the connection is valid
Date created
Date deleted
ID – the identification number of the import
Event type – the event type you selected in EOS for the imported events
Last change – the date of the last change
Last error – the date of the last error
By clicking the Default view button you can work with views – save a filtered view for use next time or manage previously saved views.
Right-click the import or the context menu (three dots) and you get the options:
Edit the import
Import now – manual start of the current event import from the given source
Delete – irreversibly deletes the configured event import
You then work with imported events in the same way as with events created manually in the platform. You can edit them, copy them, add attachments to them and so on. If you had the events imported as an Event type WITHOUT attendance tracking, you can Convert to a nomination, Convert to an e-application or Convert to organizing. Your members will find them in their calendars and can sign up for them.
Converting and copying events
General events without attendance can be converted in EOS to any other kind of event. So you can turn a general event into a nomination, for example. Another useful option is copying events.
Management permission: Managing event imports requires permission for the Events module.
