What are OpenField Periods?

OpenField Periods are a defined portion of time in an Activity, of which Athletes are assigned to. Periods are most commonly used to define separate Drills in a Training session, or Quarters/Halves in a Match. Periods provide flexibility to view and filter data for particular portions of the Activity. Periods can only be created and edited in the OpenField console.
