The Day View shows every slate of a day at once. The slates that hold your entries sit on top, under My slates, with your entry count on each one: the slates you entered before lock, and the slates you played after lock. Use it as your checklist before lock: a slate with an amber warning icon still needs a build and a fill, and a slate with a Download button has a filled file ready.
Before you start
- Know the Day View layout. See Day View.
- Upload an entries CSV to at least one slate. See Upload your entries.
What a slate shows
In the table the count sits in the Entries column, beside an icon for where the slate stands; point at the icon to read its name. In the card view it is a badge beside the slate name, amber while some entries hold no lineup.
| State | What you see | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| No entries | The Open button and an upload icon | Click the upload icon to upload the entries CSV from here. |
| Entries uploaded, none filled | A count such as 0/N and an amber warning icon (Needs lineups) | Open the slate, build, and fill. |
| Some entries filled | A count such as 2/N, the amber warning icon, and a Download button in place of Open | Fill the rest, or click Download to export the filled file. |
| All entries filled | A count such as N/N, a green check (Ready), and a Download button | Click Download to export the filled file for this slate. |
| Any entries, or a slate you played after it locks | A list icon next to the upload icon | Click it to open the Entries view for this slate. See View your entries. |
| Locked slate | The upload icon is disabled | The slate passed its first lock. Open the Entries view or the Swap sheet inside the workspace for changes. |
| Locked slate you played | N played and a lock icon (Played) | Point at the icon to see where DFS Hero found your entries: From your entries file, Found by your username, or both, and how many have no result. |
An upload from the Day View runs every upload check and shows Upload failed with the reason when one fails. On the Power plan, an upload from the Day View can schedule your default Playbook. See Schedule a cloud build.
When a slate's contests need payout info, the Unmatched contests dialog opens right on the Day View too. Its answers create sim scenarios for those contests.
The stats bar
The bar under the tabs sums the day: the slates that hold your entries, the open slates that need lineups (Attention), the multi-day slates still running from an earlier day (Still running), your contests, your entries, and your total entry fees. Each slate counts its entered entries before lock and its played entries after lock. Watch Attention. It counts the open slates whose entries still need lineups. The Next Lock countdown on the right turns amber close to lock. Export before it reaches zero.
My slates and pinned tabs
My slates opens every site tab of the Day View. It holds each slate of the date that holds your entries: the slates your entries file names before lock, and the slates you played after lock, from your entries file or found by your username. It also holds any multi-day slate you entered that still has a game to start. The same slates stay pinned at the start of the tab strip in the top bar. A pinned tab has a pin in place of its close button, and it stays while the slate holds your entries. See Open and manage slate tabs.
The ENTERED and PLAYED groups in the CONTESTS rail
Inside the workspace, the CONTESTS rail lists your entered contests at the top under ENTERED, each with an N entered badge. After lock the group reads PLAYED, each contest with an N played badge, and it also holds the contests your username played. Every other contest follows under ALL CONTESTS.
When an entered contest is not in the slate's contest list, an amber strip above the list reads N unmatched contest(s) from your entries with the button Add payout info. See Find contests.
How it works
- Before lock the badge counts the entries that hold a lineup against your entered entries: the entries of your file, without the contests you ignored. After lock it reads N played, the entries you played, with the contests you ignored. Download appears as soon as the first entry holds a lineup.
- Download downloads your saved entries as they are, with the same checks and warnings as the entries popover.
- One entry set is active per slate.
Tips
- Use Download on the Day View when you only need the file again. Open the slate tab when you want to change the fill first.
Troubleshooting
"Upload failed" : the file failed a check. The toast holds the reason. See Entries errors.
"Couldn't save the contest info. Your answers weren't stored, so the prompt will re-open on the slate." : the payout answers did not save. Open the slate and answer the dialog again.
"Slate is locked" : the slate passed its first lock, so upload is closed. Open the Entries view or the Swap sheet inside the workspace for changes after lock.
