Upload

Step 1: Select

You can either upload Course data only or Course data and map.

• Course data only
  

• No options possible.

• Course data and map:

• Upload ocd files as backup: Upload ocd files, so they are saved in the SPORTident Center as a backup.
• Upload pdf course maps: Activate this option to upload course maps as PDF’s to the SPORTident Center. Club members can download and print these PDF’s in good quality and go training by themselves.
• Resolution: Choose the desired resolution.
• Export extent: Choose the desired export extent. You also have the possibility to choose an own extent specified and saved before under Setup_Part_of_Map.

This makes sense, if you don’t not want to publish the whole map, but only a smaller part of it. Be careful and double-check your uploads in the SPORTident Center.

Step 2: Check

After you entered all information in Step 1, click on Check.
The data will be processed in the background.

• No uploads yet: There have not yet been uploaded any data to SPORTident Center.

• Not up-to-date: The data on the SPORTident Center are not the same as in your course setting project, as you have made changes to the course setting project since the last upload.
• Up-to-date: The data of your course setting project are identically with the data in the SPORTident Center.

The Trial version is limited. So it is only possible to upload the first 3 courses!

Step 3: Upload

Click on Upload to upload the data to SPORTident Center. After a successful upload, your data will be Up-to-date.

Uploaded data to the SPORTident Center will not be published directly in the web. You need to do so in the SPORTident Center itself, where you can preview and check the data before.
