HELGA release 2022

Post by mho »

The first release for this year is on its way, and comes with some new things..
Config.png
It's now possible to configure a printout only/additionally on ticket when a runner is not classified. Before, a A4 sheet on the default printer was the only choice.
For example, you may want to keep an extra ticket for the jury; HELGA will print out 2 tickets automatically.
Or, when you don't generally hand out tickets to the runners, you just print out one when the runner is not classified, to check the reason.

The START screen has been redesigned a bit.

The different customizations are now easier to select (instead of config table only).
It's mainly for the 3rd option "General Time keeping" for HELGA usage outside the Orienteering world, which has other/different requirements in various areas of the program.
The only change so far concerns the new "self service mode" feature to visualize results.
Ribbon.png
In "General Time keeping" the extra button on the ribbon is visible by default; otherwise it's not (but can always be turned on by a config table update).
Self.png
The idea is that competitors have access to a computer screen and a numeric key pad ONLY (a touch screen should be disabled as well, to avoid any other action than typing the number..)
By typing their Startnumber, they see on screen the result and current standing.
When ticked, a ticket is printed out automatically.

Last addition, registration import from O'Punch for Team events. This will speed up management of Relay events!

As extra option it can be specified if a Team should be classified or not, when the team members are from different clubs. The default is No.

I forgot to mention one more feature:
TimeLimit.jpg
When a maximum time per category is set then the status automatically changes to "Over time" when the result is computed in the Finish screen.

The new version is out!
It contains a change for the BEL users who download the FRSO member data updates: from tomorrow 08/02/2022 on, a new FRSO website goes online, and at the same time, the member management is entirely transferred to O'Punch. With this new version, HELGA will not attempt to download the update file from the old FRSO site anymore (older version will get a timeout error).

Another new feature is included, which is enabled for the "General Time Keeping" mode: a double WEBRES publication of individual results by Course and by Class (called General and Age Class), with a link button between both. Check out https://helga-o.com/webres/index.php?lauf=3709
More details will follow.
