6	Custom Report Layout When you enter an athlete into your TM Database, you have the option of entering a great deal of information. TEAM MANAGER offers many types of Athlete Reports and many ways to sort and customize each one. In addition to those "Canned" reports, TM also provides a way for you to set up and totally customize reports for your athletes' information. For example, you may want to set up a report sorted by a particular "Custom" field that you have entered for each athlete - maybe about their volunteer activities for the team. Or maybe you want to print a report of each athlete and their cell phone numbers. Click on Set-up from the Main Menu Bar then Custom Layouts for Athlete Reports. Click on the Add menu selection to compose a new Custom Layout or the Delete selection to delete a Custom Layout that you have previously saved.

Pick an Athlete and then click on Goals or the Goals icon and TM will ask for you to first select Goals for either Indoor or Outdoor and then TM will display the screen as show. Pick any distance and event and enter a Goal mark. These goal marks for this athlete can be optionally listed in the Top Marks Report by clicking on the Include Goals check box. And you can print a report of the athlete's goal marks to review with him/her by clicking on Print.
