Quick tips for setting up a team or athlete detail page.*

Introduction

This page provides some quick tips and suggestions for setting up a detail page for your team or sports persona (athlete) assets. Visit our team and persona detail page articles for more information about these page types.

It's important to note that asset relations must first exist between the asset types you want to display on your page automatically.

For example, to dynamically display events that a team is involved in, an asset relation must exist between your team and event asset types. To learn more, check out our asset relations article.

Step by step

1. Create the header row

To begin building your page, add a hero (header) row and display asset metadata such as sport, country or gender, alongside the team logo. For signed-in users, the header row will also show if they're following the asset.

Select the appropriate header row type for your page:

  • For Team: SHT1
  • For Persona: SHP1

The image above shows a Team hero row selection in Presentation Manager, toggled to display the asset's Sport and Country.

Below you can see how this would appear on a tablet to a user who's logged in and is following the team.

Note that the asset short description won't display on mobile devices.

2. Select the body rows

Several row types are available for you to choose from when building the body of your page. Some are specifically designed to showcase a particular type of asset (for example, events), and you can use a variety of different orientations to populate the page:

  • Horizontally scrolling, including ST1, ST3 and P1
  • Vertically scrolling, such as STV3
  • Grid display: ST3

For a breakdown of all the row types available for team and persona pages, and examples of how these appear across the different apps, see our pages and supporting rows article.

3. Choose what lists to display

Use list rules to ensure page rows are always kept up to date with the latest content.

Our list rules article has more information on how this feature helps you dynamically manage your lists, but we’ve outlined some quick suggestions below to get you started.

Events

You have the option to display live, upcoming and/or past events that the team or athlete is involved in.

Asset relation prerequisites:

  • Team/Persona → Event (asset relation display name used in the example = Events)
  • Stage → Event (to allow events to be filtered by stage, if relevant)

To show live events, we suggest the following list rule definition:

  • [Item type] is [Event] - this is what you want to display in the list.
  • [Has Relation] to [Path item] [id] of type [Events] – the path item is the team or persona asset that you're creating the page for. The id is taken from the page id. The ‘of type’ selection is the display name for the asset relation created between Team or Persona, and Event assets (shown above).
  • [Event Start Date] is [Less Than] [Now]
  • [Event End Date] is [Greater Than] [Now] – the date selections ensure that your list shows events happening now.

This is how the rule will look, with a sort order applied to show the earliest events first.

For upcoming events:

  • [Item type] is [Event]
  • [Has Relation] to [Path item] [id] of type [Events]
  • [Event Start Date] is [Greater Than] [Now]
  • Sort [Event start date (ascending)] to show the soonest events first

For past events:

  • [Item type] is [Event]
  • [Has Relation] to [Path item] [id] of type [Events]
  • [Event End Date] is [Less Than] [Now]
  • Sort [Event start date (descending)] to show the most recently finished events first

AXIS 9.5 delivers additional support for the display of upcoming events. To show events that are due to start within a specific timeframe – say, in a few hours or days – you can configure a list rule using the Now and limited to option associated with the Event Start Date parameter, as shown below.

  • [Item type] is [Event]
  • [Event Start Date] is [Greater Than] [Now]
  • [Event Start Date] is [Less Than] [Now and limited to] [x days][x hours]
  • Sort [Event start date (ascending)] to show the soonest events first

The example below shows a list rule configured to display events due to start within the next 6 hours. The list would be automatically refreshed with new content as events moved into the 6-hour window, and other events transitioned out of it.

Program clips

Display clips of programs the team or athlete is involved in – for example, highlights, interviews or replays.

  • Required asset relation: Team/Persona → Program (example display name: Clips)

List rule definition:

  • [Item type] is [Program]
  • [Has Relation] to [Path item] [id] of type [Clips]
  • Sort [Date added (newest)] to show the most recently added clips first

Team(s)

On a Persona page, display teams (club/country) that the athlete is associated with.

  • Required asset relation: Team → Persona (example display name: Personas)

Here, the list rule definition would be:

  • [Item type] is [Team]
  • [Has Relation] to [Path item] [id] of type [Personas]
