Legs as Percentages

This task thinks about different ways in which we can use the data already in a file to give participants more information with an example of how this could be displayed. 

The calculation of the percentage uses each leg time as a decimal, which is divided by the DecimalTime, which refers to the Finish Result. For example:

([Swim.Decimal]/[DecimalTime])*100

For displaying this data we only want to consider each percent as a whole number, to make this easier, each percentage is written in to an Advanced Result. Each Result is formatted as just "s" so a whole number is returned, the Results setup also allows us round each percent to the nearest second. 

We wanted to display this with some visual representation, this was setup so it could be displayed as a details list on the my.raceresult results page. 

We used a Multi-Line List, with one line for each leg.

Each line has the leg name which is entered as text, aligned to the right, next to this we wanted to a show a bar for each leg corresponding to the percentage of the total time.  

To do this we used the string() function which repeats characters by a defined number. The character used is the special character █ (which can be typed by pressing Alt + 219 on Windows), the number is the percentage calculated for each leg.

String([SwimLegPercent];"█")

Next to this we also show each percentage for each leg.

We also colour each bar a different colour.

In output list we grouped the fields by Bib and Name to make it clearer, although to show this in a details list would not be necessary. 

This can be selected as a detailed results list on my.raceresult
