Would it help if I were to allow you to create a custom dataset in a script and select that dataset in the usual Select Data Set window?

The script would need to have a class that overrides 'CustomStandingsDataSet'. You can override at least three important functions and return your own results:

• FilterResults: receives all results as input, you can apply your own filtering and output only a subset
• OrderResults: receives all results as input, you can sort the results according to your own sorting rule
• GetSession: change the session from which you want to pull results

There are more functions to override but I highly recommend staying away from those.

Important: it only supports "results" datasets, meaning a dataset similar to "followed", "standings", "warmup", etc.

An example implementation would be this. It would create a dataset that only returns drivers with a "b" in their name, and sorted by name:

using System;
using System.Linq;
using ATVO.ThemesSDK;
using ATVO.ThemeEditor.ThemeModels;
using ATVO.ThemeEditor.Scripting.DotNET;
using ATVO.ThemeEditor.ThemeModels.DataSets;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using ATVO.ThemesSDK.Data.Results;
using ATVO.ThemesSDK.Ordering;

namespace Scripts
{
 public class DsTest : CustomStandingsDataSet
 { 
 protected override IEnumerable<IEntitySessionResult> FilterResults(
 ISimulation sim, 
 IEnumerable<IEntitySessionResult> results)
        {
        // Filter all results to return only a subset
        return results.Where(r => r.Entity.Name.ToLower().Contains("d"));
        }
        
        protected override IEnumerable<IEntitySessionResult> OrderResults(
        ISimulation sim, 
        IEnumerable<IEntitySessionResult> results, 
        IDataOrder order)
        {
        // Optional: change the order of the results
        return results.OrderBy(r => r.Entity.Name);
        
        // Use the 'order' parameter to order by the selected Data Order 
        // This is the default implementation; can leave this out
        return order.Sort(results);
        }
        
        protected override ISessionResult GetSession(ISimulation sim)
        {
        // Optional: change the session from which you want to pull the results
            return sim.Session.Current;
        }
 }
}

I think I can make this work, but I have to make some changes to make the editor accept this as a data set.

Please let me know if this would work for you or if you need even more control.

Hi Nick,

This would essentially fulfill the main requirement I would have. The idea would be to allow for data to be recast into a custom user data set (based on user specified requirements within the script itself) that can be referenced as if it were a standard data set i.e the standard datasets already present within ATVO (standings, qualification etc). In my user requirements, they would essentially like to see a separation of PRO and AM GT cars done by us as broadcasters, and it would provide much more clarity than can be seen from this:



A lot of leagues make use of same class cars and delimit who are Amateur and Pro for example. We can account for this in terms of background changes, and that's fine, but they would also like to see the data separated out for the viewers.
