How to Set up the Field/Venue for the Heatmap

1. On the OpenField Console, map the field/venue where the session took place - see Mapping a Venue (GPS) for setup instructions. Note that this step only needs to be done once per venue. If a field/venue is already configured, proceed to step 2.
2. Select the appropriate venue in the Console for the desired Activity. This can be performed when creating the Activity, or post-Activity creation by right clicking the Activity bar and selecting Edit Activity.
