Player Profile Screen
Introduction
The Gamesparks platform comes complete with many conveniences for developers. One of these is pre-built management Screens for Leaderboards and Player records. The Screens are user friendly, customizable, and offer very useful ways of visually searching for, accessing, and editing records.
These Screens are easy to use making them very suited to non-technical members of your team, such as Customer Service:
- No coding skills required.
- No knowledge of how to access the NoSQL database and edit records.
This tutorial offers a brief introduction to using these Screens and highlights the main features you'll find on the Player Management screen.
Importing Pre-Built Screens! Before commencing this tutorial, you must import the Player Management Screen from the library. For details on how to import any of the pre-built Screens, see Importing/Exporting Admin Screens.
Searching for Players
When you open the Player Management Screen from the Manage menu, you'll see a Player Search query builder:
- Build queries to search for specific players or a group of players.
- Add rules with the combination of AND and OR operators as well as include a whole new group of rules.

- You can query everything that is linked to your players, this can be custom values such as Segments, Achievements, Virtual Goods, or pre-defined data items, such as usernames, display names, country, last seen, and so on.

- You can also remove the queries using the Delete button and click Submit to retrieve every single player record in your player collection.
Lowercase for User Name Search! If you use a player search query against player usernames, you must use a lowercase alpha-numeric string in the query. For example, if you want to return the players registered as "PLAYer1", "PLAYer2", and "PLAYer3" in your query results, you must use the query: "User Name begins with play". If you use "User Name begins with PLAY", they will not be returned. This is because usernames are always saved into the Mongo DB in lowercase.
For this example, we'll query players with Gold Coin Virtual Goods greater than 0 in quantity and who have earned the Cloud Achievement:
When we click Submit, this returns two records that match from our collection. We'll go ahead and click the edit 
icon to access the player profile screen.
