Table Mode and Statistics

Updated: 2012-10-31

During and after the competition, you will find some usage statistics for each control. How many visitors it has and how much time competitors has spent searching for it (lost time).

If you select Table Mode, you will see this statistics (among other things) in table format.

This statistics (exported to an Excel sheet, for example) can provide useful feedback for the course setter.

Paste from Clipboard Not Available?

2025-10-11 15:42:45 av Mike Avery

On the Controls tab, in Table mode, the 'paste from clipboard' isn't shown in the Table Tools. Furthermore, clicking Ctrl-V throws a message box stating 'Unsupported operation.'

Is there a reason why a large number of control data edits cannot be done externally to MeOS (e.g., Excel) and copied/pasted back into the table?

It is currently a read only table with mostly statistics, number of visitors etc, which makes no sense to edit. Most other data (like coordinates) is usually imported via XML when importing courses.

What data are you interested in setting up in Excel? Is it for a Rogaining event?

Yes, it is for a rogaining event.

I was prepping for an event that we will be hosting this weekend, and needed to test a custom result list that I was working on, but did not have the course details from the setter yet. So I manually created a test course of 30 controls which I knew to be close to what the setter intended to creare. Naturally, they were all created as regular controls. Rather than going through the controls one at a time to change their status to Rogaining and assign the point values, I copied the Controls table, with those fields included, to Excel in order to make those changes more efficiently, and then copy/paste the table back into the MeOS event.

Small use case, and I probably could have obtained the same end result using a 5-control course rather than 30.
