How to Generate an Average Set

What is an Average Set? 

In OpenField, generating an Average Set creates an average of every applicable parameter of which the Average Set is built for. An Average Set can be created for any single or group of activities, athletes, positions, or teams. To optimize performance and reduce the load of calculating every individual parameter, we recommend using parameter groups when creating an Average Set. This helps streamline the calculation process and improves efficiency. Average Sets can also be rebuilt to include new activities into an Average Set. For more information, please see our Rebuilding Average Sets guide.

How to Create an Average Set

1. Log into the OpenField Cloud and select Settings from the main user interface.
2. Select the Averages tab from the sidebar of the Settings menu.

3. To create a new average set, select Generate New Average Set.

   

Components of an Average Set

   • Position - creates an average set for each position for filtered activities 
   • Team - creates an average for each team for filtered activities.

Select which filters you would like to apply to what you are building your average set of.

1. From the first drop down menu, select which tag category you want to filter by (i.e. activity tag)
2. From the second down down menu, select either = to include, <> to exclude the selected filter.
3. From the third drop down menu type in the exact tag/filter you want to apply (i.e. match tag)
4. Click Add Filter.

Data Source

1. Select Period Data to use data found in Periods within activities or select Annotation Data to use data found in annotations. 

Parameter Group

1. Select a specific set of parameters to calculate averages efficiently. Limiting the number of parameters helps streamline the process, making it faster and more efficient. Please see our How to Create Parameter Groups article for more info.
