New 2012 Features

Chip System Updates

MAJOR UPDATE!  Importing Chip Overrides - If you use PC Timer or the Time Machine as a backup to your chip scoring system - to capture times that may have been missed by the chip system - there is a very nice way to integrate these times into Race Director now.  From the Chip Results Import screen, use the "Overrides" button.  On that screen, you'll see a new option to "Import" overrides.  You have the option of importing only missing chip result times or having all imported times become the official result.
 
MAJOR UPDATE!  Unlimited Segments/Splits - Added "Six or More" as a choice when you define the number of race segments.  The chip results import screen has been enhanced to accommodate the full set of splits that you define.  The overall and age group HTML results reports have been enhanced to show the increased number of splits.  The full set of splits will also be generated in GRU output from the overall results report.  
 
Results from the Announcer Screen - Added an option to allow the generation of a results file automatically based on a timing you specify. 
 

Report Updates

Report Line Templates - it is now possible for you to define your own report line layout for both the Overall and Age Group results report.  A new function has been added to the Results Reports menu that takes you to the screen where you design the template.  Then, when running the reports, you can choose any template that you have created.

MAJOR UPDATE!  Age Group / Overall Results Reports Print Automation - Added the ability to record and save all of the answers to the prompts you encounter when running these reports.  On subsequent runs of the report, the report is generated immediately without any interruption for answering the prompts.
 

Timing System Specific Enhancements

MyLaps Chip in a Bib - There is a new setting for MyLaps setup which indicates that the bib number is contained in the chip code.  This is the standard format now for their chip in a bib solution.  When this setting is taken, it is no longer necessary to define a bib/chip assignment file - it is assumed that the bib number is the last 5 positions of the chip code.

IPICO Elite Reader Import - Changed the chip results import to work better when you connect directly to the IPICO Elite readers.  Now, the primary and secondary IP addresses can be specified by the type of time you are importing.  You do this setup once and each time you pull times, the import process goes directly to the readers you have specified for the type of time.
