Last updated 3 months ago

The Checkpoints Menu in RUFUS Race Manager (RRM) allows users to manage all checkpoints for an event, providing a central place to create, edit, and review checkpoint information. This article will explain how to navigate the Checkpoints Menu, what information is available, and how to manage checkpoints effectively.

Navigating the Checkpoints Menu

The Checkpoints Menu is accessible from the left-hand navigation bar in RRM. Here, users can view all checkpoints that have been defined for the event. Each checkpoint listed will show the name of the checkpoint, as well as the races it is assigned to.

Viewing Defined Checkpoints

In the Checkpoints Menu, you will see a list of all the checkpoints that have been created. For each checkpoint, the following information is displayed:

  • Checkpoint Name: The name assigned to the checkpoint.

  • Assigned Races: The races that the checkpoint is associated with.

This overview makes it easy for race organizers to see which checkpoints are used in which races.

Editing a Checkpoint

To edit a checkpoint, simply click on the pen icon that appears when you hover over the checkpoint name. This will open the Edit Checkpoint modal, where you can modify details such as the checkpoint name and location. Editing a checkpoint ensures that any updates or changes needed before or during the event can be made quickly and easily.

Accessing the Checkpoint Dashboard

Clicking on a checkpoint name will open the Checkpoint Dashboard. Currently, the Checkpoint Dashboard only shows the toggle command to activate the passing analysis for the checkpoint. More widgets are yet to come that will provide detailed and relevant information for the checkpoint.

Accessing the Checkpoint-Race View

If you click on the race name under a checkpoint, you will be directed to the Checkpoint-Race View. This view provides a detailed view of participant passings and other race-specific data for the selected checkpoint. It allows you to easily monitor checkpoint performance for a particular race and see which participants have crossed that checkpoint.

Creating a New Checkpoint

To add a new checkpoint, click on the "New Checkpoint" button located within the Checkpoints Menu. This will open a form where you can enter details such as the Checkpoint Name and location. Setting up checkpoints accurately is crucial for effective race timing and classification.
