Getting around
The pages in Lovat Dashboard, the event switcher, search and commands, and keyboard shortcuts.
| Page | What it’s for |
|---|---|
| Now | Your next match and the time until it, upcoming matches with predictions, things that need attention, insights about the teams you’ll play, and views you’ve pinned |
| Matches | The schedule, results and predictions. Open a match to see both alliances and every scout report for each robot |
| Teams | Every team at the event in a sortable table. Select teams to compare them or add them to a picklist |
| Compare | Two to six teams side by side, per match and in matches they shared |
| Picklists | Weighted and manual picklists, and alliance selection. See Picklists |
| Explore | Build your own charts. See Explore |
| Scouting | Coverage, scouters, shifts, flags and devices. See Running scouting |
| Metrics | What each number means and how it’s calculated |
| Events | Every event, with your team’s events first |
Every team, match, report and event you see links to its own page. In the app on a phone, the tab bar holds Now, Matches, Teams, Picklists and Search, and the rest is under More.
Choose your event
Section titled “Choose your event”Most pages show the event you’ve chosen. Switch it from the event switcher at the top of the sidebar. Your team’s events are listed first, then this season’s latest events, then All events. You can also open any event and select Switch to this event, or use Make current from its row on the Events page.
Next to the event switcher is the Sources control, which sets whose scouting data the numbers come from.
Search and commands
Section titled “Search and commands”Press ⌘ K on a Mac or Ctrl K elsewhere, select Search in the sidebar, or tap Search in the tab bar. In the app on a phone, you can also pull down on a list to search.
Search finds teams, matches, events, picklists and actions as you type. A few shortcuts:

q42, sf3, f1 | That qualification, semifinal or final match |
254 1678 | Compare those teams |
973 add | Add team 973 to one of your manual picklists |
> | Actions only, like New picklist, Export CSV or Switch sources to all teams |
