The Sports Information Desk includes a capability to store and organize
external documents associated with your Season. This feature
enables you to continue using your existing software to create documents, while
also providing an efficient, season oriented means to organize, store, create and
access these external documents.
For example, you can include Microsoft Word Documents, Adobe PDF files,
and video files within a Season and its underlying folders. Adding these
files is as simple as dragging them from your other applications or
from Windows folders and dropping them in SID's Document Panel. You can also create new external documents from
within SID with a
click of your mouse button.
If you are familiar with Microsoft's Windows Explorer
program, then you know how to use SID's Document Panel.
This design feature provides a more natural, document-centric means of
managing your sports information and enables a Season to encompass ALL of your
related sports information. Your sports information management for any
Season is performed from a single, centralized access point - the Sports
Information Desk.
Recruiters, sports information directors and other administrative personnel will
especially appreciate the External Documents feature as it relates to managing and
accessing their media guides, press releases, news articles, and other
documents. In an administrative environment where multiple sports are
managed, the Sports Information Desk enables quick, organized access to
documents and files for any Season.
For the specialized folders (e.g., Press Releases, News
Articles, and Gallery), the Documents Panel also includes an embedded
browser/viewer. Whenever you select a document or other file in the
folder's list view, the contents are displayed in the viewer area. You do
not need to open the document/file in its parent application to view it.
Note that only files displayable in Microsoft's Internet Explorer will display
in the embedded viewer.
Using Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser you can easily
capture Internet articles in their entirety and save them within the News
Articles folder. When you select a file from the list, the article's
contents (including graphics) is immediately displayed in the integrated viewer.
