The Event Settings screen in RUFUS Race Manager (RRM) allows you to configure key aspects of your event, ensuring that it is tailored to your specific requirements. This guide will walk you through the different settings available, including general event information, gender mapping, and notification preferences. We will also discuss some settings that were available in the beta version but are currently unavailable and will be reintroduced soon.
To access the Event Settings screen, select the Settings icon from the Sidebar Menu. This will open the settings for the event you are currently managing, allowing you to adjust various configurations as needed.
In the General section, you can modify basic information about the event:
Name: Change the name of your event.
Edition: Update the edition of the event (e.g., 1st, 2nd, etc.) to keep track of different iterations.
Start Date: Adjust the start date of your event.
The Gender Mapping section allows you to define how RRM should visually distinguish between male and female participants in the data grids. By specifying values for male and female (e.g., M and F), you ensure that participants are accurately categorized and easy to identify when viewing the participant lists.
The Timekeeping section allows you to choose the level of precision for timing (seconds, milliseconds, or tenths of a second) to suit the needs of your event.
The Event Reference Date section allows you to specify a date to use for calculating participant age, which is important for categorizing participants into age groups.
In the Notifications section, you can control which types of notifications you want to receive during the event:
VALID passings: Notifications for valid participant passings.
EOTR & CLOSED passings: Notifications for End Of The Road passings, indicating participants passing checkpoints outside the expected lap, and notifications for CLOSED passings, indicating that the checkpoint, race or device are closed when the read was made.
ORPHAN, NO_RACE & WRONG_RACE passings: Notifications for passings that are not matched to any participant, or participants with no race assigned, or participants with wrong race assigned.
BOUNCED & TIME_INVALID passings: Notifications for passings that bounced or that have an invalid time.
Toggle these notifications on or off to suit your needs during the race. This flexibility allows you to stay informed about the specific types of race activity that are most important to you.
You can add custom fields to collect additional participant information, such as address, t-shirt size or company. Custom fields are displayed in the participants, segments and results views and can be filtered by and grouped by.
You can add delete, reset and/or clone an event from the Danger zone of the Settings view. This operations are irreversible.
Once you have made the necessary adjustments in the Event Settings screen, click the "Save" button at the bottom right of the screen to apply your changes.
You can manage the visibility of your event in RUFUS Cloud. Published events will appear in the , making them available for publication in the RUFUS Events App.
