CompData Wizard — Features

Overview

CompData Wizard is a guided editing environment designed to simplify the creation, modification, repair, and validation of CompData competition structures.

Instead of requiring users to manually locate and modify individual CompData records, the Wizard provides dedicated workflows for common competition-management operations while still providing access to the underlying workbook data.

The Wizard is designed to operate as an offline workspace, allowing CompData editing and management without requiring an active internet connection.

Competition Creation

The Wizard provides guided tools for creating new football competition structures directly within the loaded CompData environment.

Add Country

Create a new country structure that can serve as the parent for leagues, cups, and other competitions.

Add League

Create a new league competition and integrate it into the existing competition hierarchy.

Add Cup

Create knockout or cup competitions within the selected country or competition structure.

Add Promotion Playoff

Create promotion playoff structures for leagues that require postseason qualification or promotion stages.

These creation workflows are presented as dedicated Wizard actions rather than requiring users to manually construct the necessary records.

Competition Structure Management

Move Competition

Move an existing competition within the CompData hierarchy.

This can be used when reorganizing competitions, correcting parent relationships, or restructuring a country's football pyramid.

Link Promotion & Relegation

Create promotion and relegation relationships between competitions.

This allows league levels to be connected so that teams can move between divisions as part of the competition structure.

Unlink Promotion & Relegation

Remove an existing promotion or relegation relationship when restructuring or correcting a competition pyramid.

CompData Repair Tools

The Wizard includes dedicated repair operations for correcting common structural problems in CompData files.

Complete Settings

Assist with completing or repairing required competition settings.

Repair Slot Rows

Detect and repair slot-related rows associated with competition structures.

Renumber Compobj

Renumber CompData competition objects when object numbering needs to be corrected or reorganized.

Renumber Schedule Rounds

Repair or renumber competition schedule rounds to restore proper round sequencing.

Validation Tools

Validate Competition

Run validation against an individual competition to identify configuration or structural problems.

Validate Workbook

Run broader validation against the loaded CompData workbook.

The Wizard interface supports validation results with separate Error, Warning, and Information states, helping distinguish critical problems from items that may only require review.

Integrated CompData Workbook Editor

The Wizard includes a spreadsheet-style data workspace for viewing and working directly with imported CompData datasets.

Features include:

• Dataset navigation

• Active sheet selection

• Spreadsheet-style data grid

• Cell selection

• Cell value display

• Formula/value editing area

• Row selection

• Dataset tabs

• Multi-page dataset navigation

• Search

• Hide-empty-row filtering

• Additional row actions

This allows users to combine guided Wizard operations with direct inspection of the underlying CompData records.

Search and Data Navigation

Users can quickly search the active CompData dataset instead of manually scrolling through large files.

The workspace also provides:

• Dataset navigation

• Dataset row counts

• Total workbook row count

• Active dataset identification

• Source information

• Previous/next page navigation

• Active sheet tracking

Object Inspector

Selecting data in the workbook exposes contextual information through the Wizard's inspector.

The inspector can display:

• Selected cell

• Selected value

• Selected record information

• Object information

• Parent relationship

• Stage

• Group

This gives users additional context when examining competition records and relationships.

Import Support

CompData Wizard can load data from multiple source formats.

Supported file selections include:

• .txt

• .csv

• .tsv

• .xlsx

• .xlsm

• .json

The workspace is also designed to accept CompData workbooks or sets of CompData text files.

Save and Export

The Wizard provides dedicated Import, Save, and Export controls from the main workspace.

This allows users to work through a CompData editing session and then preserve or export the resulting data without leaving the Wizard interface.

Workbook Information

The interface continuously provides information about the currently loaded CompData environment, including:

• Number of datasets

• Total rows

• Data source

• Active sheet

• Current data status

• Active project

• CompData status

Workspace Zoom

The CompData grid includes built-in zoom controls so users can increase or decrease the size of displayed workbook data while working with larger datasets.

Workspace Reset

A dedicated reset control allows the current Wizard workspace to be cleared or restarted when beginning a new workflow.

Guided Workflow Interface

Major CompData operations are separated into four clear categories:

Create

• Add Country

• Add League

• Add Cup

• Add Promotion Playoff

Structure

• Move Competition

• Link Promotion/Relegation

• Unlink Promotion/Relegation

Repair

• Complete Settings

• Repair Slot Rows

• Renumber Compobj

• Renumber Schedule Rounds

Validation

• Validate Competition

• Validate Workbook

This organization allows users to select the type of operation they want to perform without needing to know which individual CompData rows must be edited manually.

Offline Operation

CompData Wizard is specifically presented as an Offline protected tool and includes an Offline Ready workspace status indicator.
This makes the Wizard suitable for working with CompData locally without depending on an external web service.
