Data management
3.11.1 How to set up the data management in a
practical way
The main rule is to create a Player for every person that should be
working with SAM PuttLab. All the data from the recordings of this
person are stored into this Player (if it is selected before).
It is possible to create all persons in one Project, but there are
some reasons why it may be better to split the data to multiple
Projects:
• Special events – If you use the SAM PuttLab for a special
event, like a presentation or a tournament it might be good
to have the data of this event inside one separated Project.
• Big amount of Players – If you plan to record data from
over 100 Players it would make sense to split these Players
to multiple Projects because otherwise the data handling will
be very complex (e.g. very long listbox for Player selection).
• Multiple instructors – If multiple instructors use the
system for their training it will make sense to have at least
one Project for every instructor to avoid mixing up of the
data. In this case the Project name can be the name of the
instructor, so it will be a clear structure.
So the setup of the data management depends also on how the
system is used. It is possible to have the same Player names in
different Projects, but these Players are then completely
independent from each other.
