Managing duplicates
Geek Stats helps you spot plays that look like duplicates, so you can keep your history clean.
What happens when you open the screen
As soon as you open the screen, a duplicate search runs automatically across your plays. Plays that look similar are grouped into clusters, so you can compare them easily.
Duplication criteria
Two plays are considered potential duplicates when all of these criteria are met:
- they are for the same game;
- they happened on the same day;
- they have the same number of players;
- they have equivalent results, based on the score type (same numeric scores, same number of winners for win/lose, or the same ranking).
Remember: this is only a suggestion. Geek Stats never deletes anything automatically: you always decide whether two plays really are duplicates.
Marking as "not a duplicate"
If two plays look similar but are not the same play, you can mark it as not a duplicate (by ticking the checkbox): the play is removed from the duplicates list and moved to the section of plays marked as not duplicates.
If you change your mind, untick the checkbox: the play is considered a potential duplicate again and reappears among the duplicates.
Deleting a duplicate
If you are sure a play really is a duplicate, you can delete it. After deletion, the other play in the cluster is no longer flagged as a duplicate.
Ownership
Every item — play, player or location — has an owner: the user who created it. You can only edit or delete the items you own.
If a play flagged as a duplicate doesn't belong to you (for example, it was logged by another player in the session), you won't be able to edit or delete it. In that case you'll need to ask the play's owner to delete it.
Important: you can only delete plays you own. If a duplicate was created by another player, ask them to remove it.
Refreshing the duplicate check
You can re-run the duplicate search at any time, without leaving the screen:
- tap the refresh button at the top of the bar;
- or drag the list downwards (pull to refresh).
This is especially handy after you delete a play, or after the owner removes theirs: refreshing updates the list to reflect the latest situation.
