Activity Documentation -
Features
This plugin has grown into a real Swiss Army knife,
providing several related features:
- you can create,
print, email and
upload a complete documentation of the activities in your
training logbook or create appointment items in your personal calender
program (e.g. MS Outlook).
SportTracks does not provide any
support for
printing, neither does it
allow you to email or upload a documentation of your activities - this
plugin closes the gap. - a major part of the documentation are reports that let you easily analyze
and document your performance over time, spanning possibly hundreds of
training sessions.
- you can add custom
fields to activities, so you're no longer restricted to
location, name, notes, ...
These custom fields can be edited and
viewed on a dedicated activity detail page and they can be used in the
activity documentation and in reports. - last but not least, the
plugin lets you search for texts and replace
them.
- powerful view "Correlation"
that displays how
arbitrary parameters change over time (e.g. power vs. heart rate, pace
vs. heart rate)
This plugin provides both,
- a
very easy approach for novice users
to create a meaningful documentation with just a few mouse clicks
you
should proceed to the "Getting Started"
page - very powerful features for advanced users to create more
complex documentations that are tailored to their needs,
please
see the manual page for details
I've provided a demo
logbook that can help you to get familiar with the major features of
the plugin. When you download and install the plugin, the demo logbook
is installed on your PC as well. And I've uploaded the demo logbook's
documentation to my web site as a tutorial.
Click here to have a look at this tutorial and see how
a documentation can look like that was created with the plugin. 
The
most powerful features of this plugin
are:
- Components
Components allow you to add e.g. an activity summary with one
mouse click
There is a set of prefabricated components for
several aspects of the activity. See the manual page for details. - Reports
They let you easily analyze
and document your performance over time, spanning possibly hundreds of
training sessions. Please see here.
- Templates
Templates allow you to save
the documentation of an activity as a template and create
documentations for other activities based on this template.
Combined
with components you can create a full documentation for an
activity with just one mouse click.
See the manual page for details.
@ Plugin Developers:
This plugin provides open interfaces for
other plugins to add their documentation components to the editor.
If you want to use this, please
send me a personal
message ("PM") in the SportTracks forum.
