- The files "matches.fields", "pits.fields" and ".evdata" can be selected by entering "meta" into the search bar
- Specific matches can be selected by using comma separated values and ranges (Ex: "1,2-15,19,21")
- Pit data can be gathered by entering "pit" into the search bar
- Match scouting data can be gathered by entering "match" into the search bar
