Editing participant details in RUFUS Race Manager (RRM) allows you to update information, manage race status, and keep track of passings accurately. This guide will help you understand how to edit a participant and use the available tools effectively.
To edit a participant, simply double-click on the participant you want to select. You can do this from any screen across the software, not just within a Participants Grid. This flexibility ensures you can quickly access and edit participant information wherever you are in the system.
When you open the editing tab, the participant's name will be displayed at the top of the tab, making it easy to differentiate between participants when managing multiple tabs.
The Edit Participant tab is divided into several sections where you can modify participant information and manage their race status and passings.
Name: Modify the participant's first name if needed.
Lastname: Update the participant's last name.
Gender: Change the participant's gender, ensuring consistency with the Gender Mapping settings for accurate categorization.
Date of Birth: Adjust the date of birth to correct or update participant records.
Country: Select or change the country of the participant.
City: Update the city where the participant resides.
Bib Number: Update the participant's bib number if necessary. Remember that bib numbers must remain unique across the entire event.
Chip Code: Modify the chip code used for timing purposes.
Race: If the participant is registered in a race, you can change the race they are participating in.
Age Group Code: Update the participant's age group code if applicable.
Group: Modify the participant's group if needed.
Team: Update the team name if the participant is part of a team.
Club: Enter or modify the club name if applicable.
Email: Update the participant's email address.
Phone Number: Modify the participant's phone number.
If the participant is registered in a race, you will also be able to manage their Status and Passings:
Status: Use the dropdown at the top of the tab to change the participant's current race status (e.g., DNS, DNF, etc.). See Participant Statuses article for more information.
Passings: Manage the participant's passings by adding, deleting, or marking passings as VALIDATED or INVALIDATED. See Participant Passings article for more information.
You can also delete a participant directly from the Edit Participant tab. To do this, click on the Trash icon located in the upper-right corner of the tab. Please note that deleting a participant will not remove the associated passings.
Double-Check Changes: Always double-check any changes before saving to ensure participant data is accurate and up-to-date.
Consistency Across Fields: Ensure consistency with gender values, country information, and age group codes to maintain accurate categorization and avoid issues during classification.
Manage Passings Carefully: Adding or deleting passings can impact the participant's final results, so make sure to make these changes only when necessary.
