Context is what makes the Control Room fast on match day. It tells a graphic which kind of moment it belongs to. When the operator clicks a goal on the Events tab, the room shows just the goal graphics, with the scorer's name and number already filled in. No scrolling, no typing.
Before you start
The graphic is in your control room, with an Event control set to Type FACT. See Choosing the controls your operator sees.
Events are coming in from the LiveScore app.
Set up context
Click ⋮ on the graphic and select Edit.
Open the Context tab.
Set the context type to match the graphic (see the table below).
Under Context Values, set Fact to Event.
Click UPDATE GRAPHIC.
Graphic | Context type |
Goal lower third | Goal Event |
Yellow or red card lower third | Card Event |
Substitution lower third (player off and player on) | Substitution Event |
Test it
Log a test event in the LiveScore app, for example a goal for home #9.
It appears on the Events tab within seconds.
Click it. A chip such as Goal Event appears, and the graphics list filters to the graphics for that event, already filled in.
Click × on the chip to clear the filter.
Tip: Context values can also include Player, Team, Period and Minute, depending on your template's controls.
