One of the most important aspects of managing an event is the handling of participant data, this includes a range of default fields and functions but also allows you to store or calculate your own custom fields and functions. To simplify the work flow you can enable / disable certain default fields and also control how these fields behave when editing through the Participants Window.
Default Fields
Define some general settings for data handling in the Participants Window. Activate or deactivate standard fields and define if these are mandatory or not. If mandatory fields are not filled in the Participants Window, they are highlighted with a red bar and a warning will show when trying to save. Note that for the Online Registration mandatory fields can be defined separately.
Input Assistance / Settings
Control how data should be handled when entering/editing participants directly in the Participants window. When creating new participants propose bib and When creating new participants suggest contest based on bib ranges are two options to expedite data entry. Both check boxes can be used independently or together.
- Propose bib - a bib number is proposed according to the Bib Numbers settings. If bib ranges are defined, a popup first asks which range the number should be taken from, and the next available number of the selected range is assigned; inactive ranges are not offered. With this check box cleared, a popup asks for the bib number instead.
- Propose contest - the contest is set from the bib range the bib number falls into. If combined with propose bib, the contest of the selected range is applied as well, so bib number and contest are both set from a single selection.
When Age Group changeable is enabled then the Age Group can be manually changed, which can be useful if working with overlapping Age Groups - but note that this will be overridden if the Age Groups are recalculated at a later time. You can also disable Agender if that shouldn't be used throughout the event file.
User Defined Boxes in Results Tab
It is possible to set an output list to show at the top a participant window. This can be useful for events with a large number of results that are difficult to scroll through or show additional data not shown in the main participant window.
