The Favorites Tab enables spectators to search for participants and maintain a personalized tracking list. End users can add participants to their favorites directly when viewing lists or via the integrated search. 

Search Settings

The favorites search is a global search across the entire event file, so you must define the search parameters to ensure relevant results. 

• Search Fields: Add the specific participant fields that the system will query when a user types a search term.
• Filter: Apply a filter expression to restrict the searchable pool, for example, to exclude participants who canceled their registration

Visualisations Configuration

Use the Search Result Visualisation to adjust how users see the results of their search and look for athletes to add to their favorite list.

• Order by Field: Sort the search list in a logical order by adjusting the order by field.
• Elements: Construct the row layout by setting up the elements in the same way as in the Participant View to display relevant data for each participant

The Favorite List Visualisation configures the actual saved favorites list. Here you define how the list looks once a spectator has chosen their favorites and what happens when they click on a participant.

• Order by Field: Set the sorting logic for the active favorites list.
• Linked Participant View: Specify which detailed Participant View layout opens when a user clicks on a participant in the list.
• Elements: Build the list display layout, for example show latest split data so that spectators have relevant data for all favorites without having to click into indivual participant views. 

Note: Favorites are stored locally in the user's browser cache. They do not sync across different devices or browsers (e.g., from a phone to a computer).
