Extra column

Imported from Yahoo
#1

I am looking for an extra column I can show in results for each race in the series, which I can call ‘Flags’ and hence show things like P for protest pending, or 5% for 5% time penalty taken, without effecting start, elapsed, or corrected
times. Would not matter if it had to be done by Edit+Competitor as it doesn’t occur very often.

Any ideas?

Thanks

John

Why not just rename an existing column that you don’t use (e.g. crew name)

Hi John,

  You have a choice. You can use any competitor column for any

information and rename the column to something meaningful to you,
but I suggest Notes or Status column.

Kind regards,

Huw

Is not crew name specific to the whole series, I am looking for a column that is specific to each individual race as there might be 3 races on the day, and protests not heard until next week

Thanks

Hi John,

  Now I understand what you are wanting to do, then unfortunately

there is no way of having a column specific to each race.

You might consider adding notes :

  •     on the Notes tab of the first publishing window and then check
    the publish notes box, the information is then published at the
    foot of the series tables
  •     on the notes tab of the race concerned and the information
    entered will appear at the head of that race table but not be
    shown with the series table(s)
    Another option is to create a special scoring code(s).

Hope this gives you a workaround that is useable.

Kind regards,

Huw

Hi John,

I think your best option may be to create a few scoring codes that have no effect in terms of points

e.g.

PEN-5

PEN+5

PRT

You can then apply these or remove them as you wish. The only issue is as I’m sure you are aware that you can only have one code applied to each race result, so you would have to create a special code if say they were OCS and protesting - but it’s do-able
