2.From Orion's menu, click Database and then Database Properties.

3.On the Shooting Styles tab, check one or more shooting styles your team participates in. It is generally best to check just the most common styles.

5.On the Category Fields tab, check the field values you want to manage for your team members.

6.On the Permissions tab, choose the values you wish to have enabled (Note: we recommend using the values in the example below)
