How to Change Race Schedule

[eLapsRaceTiming]

The race schedule is found on the Race Entry page (4th Menu from the top). Then click the Daily Schedule tab.



The race schedule is automatically created when the Practice and Qualifying sessions are created.

When the race schedule is first created, it will be spread across the dates entered during event setup. Most likely this schedule will need to be altered to account for category (class) race ordering.

To re-order the race schedule, drag and drop the individual Practice or Qualifying sessions as required.



Category (class) groups can be re-ordered as a group if required. For example in the above screen shot, the 'On Road' category sessions are run first, then the '1/5th Mini' category sessions are run second. The order of these category grouped sessions can be re-ordered so the '1/5th Mini' category group is run first, with the 'On Road' category group run second. This is performed by dragging the Category heading on the Grid Listing tab.



In the above screen shot, the '1/5th Mini' category is being dragged to be ordered above the '1/5th On Road' category. This results in the race schedule being re-ordered as follows:



Notice the Heat numbers are still run consecutively (H1, H2, H3, H4), however now the first heat is '1/5th Mini'.

Both Practice and Qualifying sessions are re-ordered using this functionality.

Additionally there are three buttons on the Daily Schedule tab that provide the ability to quickly sort the race schedule. These buttons are:

Staggered - sorts the race schedule by alternating Category (class) and Heat number as shown in the following screen shot.



Cat. Grouped - sorts the race schedule by grouped Category (class) and Heat number. It also restricts Heat numbering to within the category as shown in the following screen shot.



Cat. Staggered - sorts the race schedule by grouped Category (class) and Heat number. However the Heat numbering spans multiple categories as shown in the following screen shot.
