Setup a New Match Form

COMET Superusers can define Match Forms, i.e., predefined forms/sets of questions that are used to track specific match data.

New Match Form

To create a Match Form:

• Select Forms under the Match form menu on the left nav-bar

• This opens the Forms menu, which lists the Match forms in your workspace. The events menu consists of the following tabs:

  • Active

  • Inactive

• Each list consists of the following details:

  • Position

  • Name

  • Description

  • Default value

  • The search box (use the search box to search the match form that is entered in the system)

• Click on the ➕ Add button in the top right corner

• This opens a New Match form page with three tabs to fill in: Form, Questions, and Authorizations

Form tab

On the Form Tab, fill in the general details:

• Name → name of the form

• Position → the position on the match form on the menu on the COMET Match screen

• Competition type → In case the match form does not apply to all competitions, you can choose the competition type(s) in which it will be displayed

• Match Form Template → (re)use the defined template if applicable

• Valid from → select a date; this form will be displayed only on matches with Start Date after this Date/Time

• Description

• Use the switch buttons to:

  • Active/Inactive → only forms that are set as active are displayed on the match screen of future matches; inactive matches are just displayed on the All tab

  • Optional → if enabled, the form will be ignored in My previous and My next matches

    • Optional Match Forms are for extraordinary situations, such as excessive misconduct, match postponement, or similar situations. In these scenarios, the Match Form does not need to be completed for each match and will not appear in the editor's To-Do list (Upcoming/Next Matches).

  • Include in summary → If enabled, this match form will be included in the printable version of the Summary Match Report.

  • Send notification to admins → if enabled, notifications will be sent to Administrators and Managers configured as Admins for this Match Form, once the Form is confirmed.

• Once you have entered all the data, press the Save button.

Please note that the Match Form Template should be added before creating the Match Form. If the Match Form Template is added after the Match Form has been created, it will not automatically populate any questions; you will need to add them manually.

Questions

On the Questions tab, add the questions to your match form:

• Hit the add button to:

  • Select the Question(s) for the Match Form

  • Select the group for each question

• Once you have selected all the questions for your template, click the Save button

Form Preview

The Form Preview feature allows Administrators to conveniently visualize how the form will appear to end users who will enter data into it.

To see the Preview of a Match Form:

• Click on the Forms on the left nav-bar

• From the list of Active/All forms, select a form

• Click on the Questions tab

• From the Questions tab, click on a Preview button in the upper right corner of your screen to see how the form will be presented to the end user

This opens a preview version of your form. On this screen, you can see the final look of your form, including the Yes/No buttons, empty lines, a list with all the possible answers, a calendar, Info buttons, etc., all depending on the data type you have set as a prerequisite to enter into the form.

Close the preview by clicking the Back button.

Download Preview

You can also download a PDF preview of the form, including its questions and instructions. This is useful if you want to share the preview with the competitions or refereeing department. To download the PDF, simply click the "Download" button in the top-right corner of the preview screen.

This will save a copy of the form on your device, which you can then easily share as needed.

Authorizations

On the Authorization tab, you can manage authorizations (security settings) for editing, viewing, and administering the match form:

Please note that the edit authorization must be enabled alongside the view authorization. Otherwise, the COMET user will not be able to access the match form that needs to be edited.

Administrators and Managers Section

• On the Admin field, please select the Admin Roles that will be able to edit the Match form in all statuses (IN PROGRESS and CONFIRMED) → You can choose the following roles: Competitions Admins (managers and admins), Referring Admins, and Disciplinary Admins

• On the Viewer field, please select the Admin Roles that will be able to view the Match form in all statuses (IN PROGRESS and CONFIRMED) → You can choose the following roles: the Competitions Admins (managers and admins), Referring Admins, and Disciplinary Admins

Match Officials Section

• On the Editor field, please select the Match Official Roles that will be able to edit the Match Form in non-confirmed statuses (none or in progress)→ You can choose any match official role

• On the Viewer field, please select the Match Official Roles that will be able to view the Match form in all statuses (IN PROGRESS and CONFIRMED) → You can choose any match official role

Competition Officials Section

• On the Viewer field, please select the Competition Officials (Match Official Roles) that will be able to view the Match form in all statuses (IN PROGRESS and CONFIRMED) → You can choose any match official role

• e.g., if an administrator assigns multiple Security Officers to a competition, all of them will have access to view the match forms for Security Officers throughout the entire competition, not just for specific matches

Club Admin Section

• On the Editor field, please select the Club Admins that will be able to edit the Match Form in non-confirmed statuses (none or in progress)→ You can choose club admin from home, away, or both teams

• On the Viewer field, please select the Club Admins who will be able to view the Match form in all statuses (IN PROGRESS and CONFIRMED) → You can choose club admin from home, away, or both teams

Once you have completed authorization, click the Save button.

Please inspect the Matrix Scheme of authorizations described above:

Once you have saved the Match Form, it will be displayed on the Match Screen, under the Forms Tab, and authorized users will be able to access and complete it.Filling the Match Form
