Hi

I've found numerous guides/topics around different customisation areas but haven't seen anywhere that talks about being able to customise the default information in Guardian at the bottom of the screen. In particular Horse Racing, I would like to be able to have the saddle cloth number shown so I can easily scan through and see the horse number and the odds as they change throughout the day.

This is the area of the screen I would like the saddle cloth number to be added (and any other customisation that is available.

I've had a look around before posting so apologies if I've missed this area of discussion, please could you point me in the right direction?

Many thanks

The bottom half of Guardian is not yet customizable, you will see the names exactly as they appear on Betfair so for Australian horse racing Betfair prefix the horses name with the saddle number, so you'll see that in the bottom window, but for UK races they only list the horses name

OK, thanks Dallas. At least I haven't missed something.

Is this something in your development plans, or is it totally dependable on if BetFair change what data they pass through the API?

Thanks

Edit - I guess BF already pass that through though as it's available to be added on the one click screen?

Yes the information you've asked for is there and can be displayed elsewhere ie, the watchlist, ladder and one-click screens etc
There's nothing in the near term dev plans for the lower half of Guardian at the moment, but as the overall customization is expanded it will be something that gets looked at some point.

Hi.

Just revisiting an older post and wondered if this is something that is getting nearer to implementation or is it not likely to happen still in the near future?

Thanks

Undock the one-click screen and place it where you need (overlap guardian). You can customise the one-click screen to show just about anything you want.

Simple but brilliant solution to this :)

Thanks.

Yeah I can get the info I want, already have it on one-click and ladder. Thought it would be useful to have on Guardian though and was just wondering if this was nearer to development that Dallas suggested November last year.

Not a game changer, just a suggestion.
