During last year's season, we continued to improve the live website's functions and features. This has been a labour of love with lots of
MacGyvering
to improve the way the information is provided.
You can now:
- see all information in a single table and on one page. For best viewing, use Landscape mode on your device (turn your phone/tablet on its side).
- click on "Name" or "Current Position" to reverse the order of the information.
- open the NRL website to see match results for the current round (including State of Origin matches).
- type into the "Search:" box to filter the information. Click "x" to remove the search criteria.
- see the current scores and game time for any match in progress.
- download the latest information in the results files (i.e. Name, Position and Prize).
- customise the table to change the information. (see "How to use the Search Builder").
The Search Builder provides more functionality than the Search box and allows you to create, save and re-use Search States. Search Builder adds a complex search capability by grouping data and conditions into search "states" of your choice. The Search Builder enables you to choose the Names, Current Position, Team or Prizes you see in the information. All other information is filtered out. The benefit is that you can make groups that contain names of family, friends or view prize winning positions. You can make and save multiple searches, called "states", each with a unique name. The best thing to do is experiment with the Search Builder to build and save unique views of the information. Here are two examples you can try. Please note, the Search Builder saves your searches on the device/computer on which you build the search. The process will need to be repeated for each device. Below are two examples.
