Checkpoint Dashboard

The Checkpoint Dashboard in RUFUS Race Manager (RRM) provides a way to manage the activity status of a checkpoint. This feature is crucial for ensuring that each checkpoint is processing participant passings correctly during the event. In this article, we'll cover the current functionality of the Checkpoint Dashboard. More features in the form of widgets are yet to come to the Checkpoint Dashboard, which will display relevant information about the checkpoint, such as timing efficiency, checkpoint statistics, time correction, last passings, and more.

Activating/Deactivating Passing Analysis

The main feature available in the Checkpoint Dashboard at this time is the ability to activate or deactivate the passing analysis for a checkpoint. This toggle allows race organizers to control whether a checkpoint is actively processing participant passings.

When to Use Passing Analysis Activation

• Activate Passing Analysis: Ensure that the checkpoint is activated for processing participant data before the race begins. This ensures that all participant passings are recorded and analyzed accurately.

• Deactivate Passing Analysis: If the checkpoint is no longer in use (for example, all participants have passed through it), you can deactivate the checkpoint to prevent any further unwanted readings.

Status of Passings When Checkpoint is Deactivated

Any passings recorded while the checkpoint is deactivated will be marked with the status CHECKPOINT_CLOSED. This status indicates that the passing occurred while the checkpoint was inactive and should not be included in the final race analysis.
