Context behaviors can automatically read player data from team sheets or incoming substitution events, instantly generating the correct names, numbers, and badges.

​

You'll use this feature when: 1. Substitutions occur and you need a graphic to instantly display both the player coming on and the player coming off. 2. You need to quickly pull up generic lower thirds for specific players starting the match.

​

Before configuring context, make sure you have the following in place: 1. Substitution and generic player templates added to the control room. 2. Completed team sheets available in the Teams tab.

​

To set up context for substitution graphics, start by editing the Lower Third Substitution graphic and navigating to Context. Next, set the Context Type to "Substitution Event" and set the Fact to "Event", then click Update Graphic to save the configuration. Once this is done, trigger a substitution in the Live Score App to verify that clicking the event instantly loads the correct outgoing/incoming players in the preview.

​

To configure a generic player graphic, first add a generic player template (e.g., "L3 Name Supers") to the control room, then set the single variable exposed to the operator as "Player". Go to Context and set the type to "Player" and the value to "Player", then click Update Graphic. With this set up, clicking on any player's name in the starting team rosters will instantly populate a generic lower third with their correct number, name, and team badge.

​

Generic player lower thirds are excellent fallback graphics, allowing operators to instantly generate information just by clicking the team sheet without waiting for a specific match event.
