The event dashboard

Audience: Timing operators watching and running the event on the day.

The dashboard is your home base while an event runs — open it on the operator's screen and leave it up. It's the landing page for an event and gives you, at a glance, the event's status, how many competitors are still out, the health of your radio network, and one-click access to the jobs you do most. This page explains every card and indicator, and what to do when one changes colour.

The top bar: status and event controls

The strip across the top of every event page (not just the dashboard) carries the event's lifecycle:

• Status chip — the event's current state, also echoed as a coloured stripe down the left of the header card below:
  • Setup mode — not started yet (you're still preparing it)
  • Event in progress — live; the chip pulses
  • Event stopping / Event interrupted — paused or interrupted mid-run
  • Event completed — finished
  • Event abandoned — ended without completing
• Event clock — a running event time, shown while the event is in progress.
• The primary button changes with the state: Start event (in setup), Finish event (while live), or Resume event / mark finished (for an interrupted or abandoned event). Resuming is only offered while the event is still today or upcoming — a past-dated event is over.
• Replay controls appear when an event has captured data to replay; this is a testing/training tool rather than something you use live.

Note: Past-dated events can't be started or resumed — Manager treats the event date as a hard cut-off. See Creating an event for the event lifecycle.

The event header

The card at the top of the dashboard identifies the event: its name, date, and a row of attributes — event type (individual / relay / team), competition level, discipline, and whether it's an individual or mass start — plus an Eventor marker if it was imported from Eventor. The left border is colour-coded to the status.

The cog button (top-right of the card) opens Edit event details, where you change the name, date, radio-control settings, mass start, splits printing, hire cards, and extensions. See Editing event details.

Always-on cards

Three cards are always present.

Event Data

A count of everything you've set up — controls, courses, classes, competitors (or teams for a relay), and clubs. It's your at-a-glance check that setup is complete: a zero where you expect a number means something hasn't been imported or created yet. Click any count to jump straight to that list, and use Import (top-right) to bring in more data. See Importing event data.

Competitors

The headline numbers for the race in progress:

• Total — everyone entered.
• Started — how many have started.
• On Course — how many Manager believes are still out on the course. This is your safety number.
• Pending — runners who have crossed a radio finish but whose card hasn't been downloaded yet, so their result is still preliminary. They sit between On Course and Finished. (Only shown once radio punches are arriving.)
• Finished — competitors with a downloaded card and an authoritative result.

A live mini-chart below the numbers tracks the On Course count over time, so you can see the field flow out and back.

Safety — is everyone back? On Course is the number that matters at the end of the day. While it's above zero, click it to open the On Course list and work through who's still out, who has finished but not downloaded, and who never started. The full procedure — including reading start/finish station memory and clearing no-shows — is on its own page: Safety check: accounting for everyone. Click Pending to see the preliminary-result runners due at the download desk.

Cards that appear when relevant

The rest of the dashboard adapts to the event's state and which features are switched on, so you only see what's useful right now:

Card	What it shows	Appears when
Quick Competitor Actions	Search and open a competitor; change their card number or class; + to add a competitor	The event is being set up or run
Download Card	Reader connection and live card downloads	The event is in progress (and not replaying)
Radio Controls	Each radio control's health — recent punch activity, last-heard time, battery, and signal	The event uses meshO radios
Radio Punch Forwarding	Outbound forwarding status — Active/Disabled, with Sent and Queued counts	Punch forwarding is switched on
SIRAP Punch Listening	Inbound SIRAP punch source — Listening/Stopped, with a Received count	The event accepts SIRAP punches
Spectators	How many people are watching now on the live screens	The event is in progress
Extension tiles	Whatever an installed extension contributes	An enabled extension provides a dashboard tile

A few of these have their own pages:

• Quick Competitor Actions is the fastest way to fix a single competitor's card or class without leaving the dashboard — for deeper edits, open them in the Competitors list.
• Download Card is a compact version of the full Downloading cards station — and, as that page explains, downloads register from anywhere, so the tile updates even when you're elsewhere.
• Radio Controls is your radio-network health panel. Low battery or a control that's gone quiet shows here first; for setup and recovery see Connecting meshO Prime and radios and Radio punches.
• Extension tiles come from add-ons you've installed — see Installing extensions.

Reading the colours

Colour is used consistently across the dashboard so problems catch your eye:

• Green — healthy or live: an in-progress event, a connected reader (Listening), forwarding that's Active, controls reporting in normally.
• Orange / yellow — attention, not yet a failure: punches Queued for forwarding, a control on low battery or weak signal, an interrupted event.
• Red / grey — stopped or finished: an abandoned (red) or completed (grey) event, a critical battery, a control that hasn't been heard from.

When the Radio Controls card flags low batteries or a silent control, treat it as an early warning and check that unit before it costs you punches.

What isn't on the dashboard

A couple of common jobs live elsewhere, by design:

• Marking competitors DNS in bulk is done from the competitor lists (the dedicated Set DNS dialog), not here. See Safety check.
• Re-checking a download, overriding a status, or editing punches is done from the Downloading cards page or the competitor's record — see Resolving issues on the day.
