GSIS Auto Resolver – Catapult Thunder Support

GSIS Auto Resolver Tool

A new option is available under the Games tab in Edit Station called GSIS Auto Resolver Tool.
The tool will search across a pre-selected Thunder folder and display masters that follow the NFL naming convention for NFL and NCAA games.

Masters that don’t match the naming convention will not be displayed.
Masters that have been previously resolved, prepended with (Resolve), will not be displayed.
Edits will not be displayed.

Masters are matched up with their game data by looking at the MasterGameNumber and MasterSeason. Those must match with a GSIS game with the same Game Number and Season. Both teams listed on the master must then match the teams listed in the GSIS game data.
Masters will not be resolved if any of the following occur.

Play Count Mismatch: The number of plays in the video master doesn’t match the number of plays in the GSIS data.
Game Number Mismatch: The game number provided in the master name doesn’t match a game number provided in the GSIS data.
Team Mismatch: The team codes provided in the master name don’t match the team codes provided in the GSIS data.
League Mismatch: The league selected in the dropdown menu does not match the game number or team codes provided in the master name.
Season Mismatch: The season selected in the dropdown menu does not match the season provided in the master name.
Already Resolved: If a master name matches a game that has been previously resolved via the GSIS Auto Resolver or GSIS Resolver tools.

League: Dropdown menu to select NCAA or NFL.
Season: Dropdown menu to select the season. Only masters that match the season selected will be matched up and resolved. Due to limitations, only games from the 2015-2016 season and beyond can be resolved via the tool.

GSIS Auto Resolver - Folder Mapping

Users have the option to distribute resolved edits to team specific folders through the GSIS Auto Resolver.
Within the Auto Resolver users will have an option to Send to Team Folder during the distribution process.
Map NCAA team folders by clicking on the Folder Mapping button.

By default, folder mappings will distribute all side of ball edits to the folder that’s defined.
Check the Separate by Side-of-Ball box to distribute team edits based on the ODK values.
Folder mappings are season specific and must be set up annually.
Users will not be able to utilize the auto-resolve/distribution unless all teams being resolved have a folder mapped.
