Activity Planning

Activity planning lets you set up an activity before the session. You can add the name, date, tags, periods and athletes in advance. You can plan activities in OpenField on the web or in the Catapult Vector app.

Vector 8 customers can use a planned activity for:

• A live activity on a receiver
• A Bluetooth (BLE) live activity
• An activity shell with no data

Planned activities sync between the web and the app while your iPad is online. An activity you create in one place shows in the other.

Walkthrough

Plan an activity on the web

1. In OpenField, select Planning. The Activity Planning page opens.

Add periods

You can change the periods at any time before the session:

• To delete a period, select the remove icon.
• To change the order, drag the handle on the left of the period.

Save the activity

Select Save. The activity syncs to your iPad in a few seconds. You can continue to edit the activity in the app.

2. Select + Activity.
