View Aliased Players

Postby MoniesRemovalPLC » Fri Feb 17, 2012 12:10 pm

when i want to view a single player instead of my combined aliases results or graphs, i click on Player (top left) to access the dropdown menu which displays my player list, the list includes my main player (which the other players are attached to) and the others aliased players individually. Two things,

* if i select an aliased player from the list and click it, i get a popup saying: "The player has been set to an alias. Would you like to view the aliased player instead?" YES/NO I click YES but the results stay as they were displaying the main player and the attached players together, the name in the player box remains the original main player.

* assuming that this is just an error, how would i view only my main players results without any alias results attached, as there only one main player name listed in the dropdown and that already has all the aliases attached.

I recently spoke to the development team about making that message box clearer. Once your names are aliased together you can't view the individual players separately (other than by filtering to the appropriate site).
What the message box is actually asking you is whether you want to switch to the combined aliases, or stay with the currently selected player.

I'm experiencing this exact same issue.

I don't understand your response:
What the message box is actually asking you is whether you want to switch to the combined aliases, or stay with the currently selected player.


Whether I click yes or no to the dialog box, nothing seems to change. The selected player in the drop-down remains, no stats change.
Filtering by site, as you suggest, gives me the info I wanted but I don't understand what this 'view aliased player' pop us actually does.

Thanks.

Add me to the list. There's something strange about the way PT3 and PT4 handle aliases, hence the confusion over this drop down dialog.

If you have a different player selected (not one of the aliased players) and you click 'no' you will stay on the current player, if you click 'yes' it will select the alias and show the combined stats.
Aliasing players combines their stats and you cannot select them separately.

filtering by site is very easy and if you save the filters as quick filters instantly accessible problem solved thanks

Ditto.

Makes sense now. That pop up dialog just needs rewording, and you may want to handle it differently when a user tries to select one of the other players in the alias where it makes no sense at all.
