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.
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 passings: Notifications for End Of The Road passings, indicating participants passing checkpoints outside the expected lap.
ORPHAN passings: Notifications for passings that are not matched to any participant.
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.
Several settings that were available in the previous beta version of RRM are currently not available. These settings will be available again soon, providing more options to customize your event:
Setting Date for Age Calculation: Specify a date to use for calculating participant age, which is important for categorizing participants into age groups.
Select Timekeeping Resolution: Choose the level of precision for timing (seconds, milliseconds, or tenths of a second) to suit the needs of your event.
Custom Fields Definition: Define custom fields for participants, allowing you to collect and manage additional data specific to your event.
Reports Formatting: Customize the format of event reports to ensure they meet your presentation and reporting standards.
These features will provide greater flexibility and precision for event organizers, allowing you to tailor the event experience to your requirements.
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.
