Event tools work on a single RaceResult event.
Opening an event
- Open Event List from the home page.
- Pick the event. Its tools appear in the sidebar, grouped by category.
- Choose a tool. It opens in the main panel; switching tools does not reload the page.
Checked-out event files
When an event's online file is checked out to RaceResult on a computer, tools that write to the event are disabled, because RaceResult would reject the change. Tools that only read keep working.
Saved settings
Most event tools remember their settings per event, so reopening a tool picks up where you left off. The settings belong to the event file, not to you: everyone the file is shared with through Event Sharing sees and changes the same ones.
The Save button
The Save button in the header, beside your account, saves the settings of whichever tool is open. It turns red as soon as the tool has a change that has not been saved, and goes back once it is saved. Switching to another tool or leaving the page with unsaved changes asks you first. In a tool with nothing to save the button is greyed out.
Actions that change the event straight away — importing, running Single Start, uploading course maps, saving splits — keep their own buttons in the tool. The header button only ever saves settings.
