This article outlines the workflow to create a new pool for an existing field. The pool can either be digitised directly as part of the workflow, or copied from an external shapefile/feature class. Note, this workflow was changed at Player 5.7 to include the Merge function.


  1. Using the Player Layer Gallery Add New > Pool


  1. Select Create Features 
     
  2. Either, select Pool from the Create Features Templates and digitize a shape,
    OR, copy the pool shape from another layer and Paste Special > Layer > Pool > OK > Finish
  3. Open the Player Fields dialog and the newly created, and as yet unnamed pool will appear at the top of the prospect list. Go into the pool - Player will ask you to Validate, so Validate > Close Validation and open the new pool again.
  4. Enter the name of the Field that the new Pool is associated with and also add the Pool name and Apply.
  5. Return to Fields Home and there should now be 2 Fields with the same name - select both to highlight, using the Control key. Then select Merge and OK.
  6. Go into the Field - the new pool has now been added to the Field. Go into the pool and add details, such as the target play and an appropriate name.
