Field Event Entry Enhancement (Web & Template)

Summary of Changes

• Web Result Edit Screen Update: Three input fields for attempts are now available (but not compulsory), and the best result is automatically calculated. This is aligned with recording sheets, the ResultsHQ mobile App and CompetitionHQ. 
• Result Import Template Update: Three input fields for attempts are now available (but not compulsory), and the best result will be automatically calculated in ResultsHQ. This is aligned with recording sheets, the ResultsHQ mobile App and CompetitionHQ. 

Details of Changes

1. WEB - The Field Event Entry page in ResultsHQ Web now offers two options. Users can choose between a single entry field or three separate fields. 

Option 1: The original setup.

The Field Event Entry page in ResultsHQ Web initially only featured a single field for result entry, where the first entry was automatically considered the best attempt.

Users can press the tab key to move to the next athlete.

This is the default screen on the web (unless more than one attempt has been included in any of the results from that meet). 

Option 2: The advanced setup

The web now supports three input fields for attempts for results entry. 

This change was implemented in response to significant Centre feedback to:

• Align with recording sheets
• Ensure consistency across the web portal, the new ResultsHQ app, and CompHQ
• See "What Has Changed" for further details below

Previous Setup:

• Web: The web interface had only one field for result entry, which was automatically considered the best attempt.
• Recording Sheets: Allowed users to enter three separate attempts.
• Mobile: Allowed users to enter results for three separate attempts, automatically calculating the best result.
• Mismatch: This discrepancy resulted in a lack of attempt details in the web view, leading to inconsistencies between the web, recording sheets, and mobile views.

What Has Changed:

• Field Event Entry (Web):
  • The web now supports three input fields for attempts (Attempt 1, Attempt 2, Attempt 3).
    • Entering all three attempts is optional.
    • The Tab key is used to navigate between attempts. If only one result is entered, users will need to press Tab three times instead of once to move to the next athlete.
  • The best result is automatically calculated and displayed.
  • Synchronisation: Any edits to individual attempts on the web will automatically sync with the mobile platform.

Traditional High Jump (HJ) Entry (Web):

A new option Introduced for HJ events under specific conditions.

• Web users can select between "Simple High Jump" and "Traditional High Jump" 
  • • Simple - one height entry per athlete
    • Traditional - multiple entries per athlete
• Traditional High Jump is automatically selected if traditional HJ results were previously entered via the ResultsHQ Mobile App. 
• The new web interface mirrors the mobile app’s Traditional HJ entry and follows the same validation rules.

2. TEMPLATE - Result Import Template Update (Field Events & Simple High Jump)

What’s New?

• The import template now includes three columns (Attempt 1, Attempt 2, Attempt 3) for consistency across Web Results Entry, Recording Sheets, and the Mobile App.
• Users can enter up to three attempts, but only one is required.
• The system will automatically calculate and display the best result.

Import Process:

• Imported results will appear in the correct attempt columns on the web.
• Manual entries will be overwritten to ensure the latest data is used.

Important Notes:

• Applies only to Field Events and Simple High Jump.
• Traditional High Jump is not affected.

FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Will both track and field events use the same import template?
A: Yes, the behavior remains consistent with the current system.

Q2: Does this result import apply to all high jump formats?
A: No, this import process only applies to simple high jump. Traditional high jump formats will continue to follow their existing processes.

Q3: What happens if I enter results manually and then import new results?
A: The imported results will overwrite the manually entered ones to ensure the latest and most accurate data is displayed.

Q5: Is it mandatory to fill all three attempt columns during result entry or result import?
A: No, it is not mandatory. At least one attempt is sufficient, and the system will calculate the best result from the available data.

Q6: How do I know if a HJ event has traditional HJ results entered?
A: When you open the result edit screen on the web, the system will automatically load the traditional HJ interface if any data has already been entered in this mode. Otherwise, you will see the default simple HJ entry interface.

Q7: Can I switch back to the old Simple HJ mode for high jump events?
A: Yes, you can switch back to the Simple HJ entry mode by removing all results for an event that were added in Traditional HJ entry mode. Once the results are removed, the event will reset to a fresh start, and you will be able to use the default Simple HJ entry mode again.
