Coverage and flags

Coverage

Scouting → Coverage shows how much of the event your team has scouted: the share of Robots scouted, how many robots you’ve Scouted out of how many played, and how many Gaps there are.

The grid has a row for every team and a column for every qualification match. Each cell shows 2+ reports, 1 report, Played, no report, or Not played yet. Use it during the event to see which robots your shifts are missing, and between days to plan who covers what.

Flag a report

Lovat’s shared data is trustworthy because anyone can look at it. When a report or a note looks wrong, flag it. The flag goes to the scouting lead of the team that scouted it, who can see which of their scouters wrote it and follow up.

1. On a report, select Flag report. For notes, open the team’s Notes tab and choose Flag notes from the note’s menu.
2. Choose a reason: Unrealistic data, Not Gracious Professionalism, Wrong robot or match, or Something else. Add details if they’d help.
3. Select Send flag.

Anyone on a team can flag. You’ll see what happened under Scouting → Flags → Raised by your team: Waiting on …, Excluded by …, Dismissed by …, or … followed up. You never see who scouted another team’s report.

Handle flags on your reports

When another team flags one of your reports, scouting leads see it under Scouting → Flags → On your reports, with the scouter’s name. Now also shows a banner when there are open flags, with Review flags.

For each flag, choose:

• Exclude report if the data is wrong. The report stays visible but no longer counts toward any numbers. You can include it again from the report page.
• Followed up if you talked to the scouter and the report is fine, or you’ve fixed its notes.
• Dismiss if the flag doesn’t apply.

Each action can include a note that only your team sees. The team that flagged the report sees the outcome.

Flags are a good coaching tool: a quick conversation with a scouter usually fixes the habit behind a bad report.
