We've got our new game, so let's add some information to it. GameDiary gives you the ability to add media (e.g., pictures, sound and video clips), personal game notes, and statistics for each and every game of your Season!  Let's walk through the process of adding each of these types of information to your new game.

Media:

• Click on the Media tab located below the game schedule.

• Select Notebook/New Media item from the main menu.

• Select Notebook/Add Media/Load Picture file.

• Select a file within the Open Media dialog box.

• A miniature picture (i.e., thumbnail) appears in the media item.

• Double click the media item to view it
  

Similar steps are performed to add a video or sound clip.  GameDiary supports most  of the standard media formats including BMP, JPEG, AVI, MPEG, WAV and MP3. 

GameDiary also supports Drag and Drop to make the process of adding media even easier!  Just drag a picture to the media page and GameDiary automatically creates a new Media item and adds the picture. 

The Media Tab

Game Notes:

• Click on the Personal tab below the game schedule.

• Within the My Performance box or the Notes on Opponent box, type in your game note

• Click on either the Pregame or Team tabs and add information as appropriate.
  
  Note that you are able to modify the tab and box captions to customize the game note topics to your own needs!

The Personal Tab

Statistics:

• Click on the first field within the statistics panel and add an appropriate number. (e.g. Pass Attempts - 12)

• Press the tab key to move to the next field and again enter a number.  
  (e.g. Pass Completions - 7)

• Note that calculated statistics have a lighter color.  You do not enter any numbers, but instead let GameDiary calculate the value for you.

That's it!  Once you have entered your game information, you can print out a Game Summary report, a game schedule/calendar and even generate a comprehensive Statistics summary report.
