Visual architecture

This video explains the visual architecture of Copernico: how the screen is divided between the left menu (with a dynamic part and a static part), the central area and the right menu, with the actions of each section and the quick actions that are always available during the race.

These are the names shown on screen today:

• Left menu, inside a race: Dashboard, Race (with the Chips sequencing tab), Participants, Teams (only if an event has team types), Raws, Reports, Log, Plugins and Race Options.
• Bottom of the left menu, on every screen: Report bug, Help, Configuration and Log out.
• Fixed quick actions in the right menu, inside a race (they are icons; the name appears when you hover over them): Waves, Issues, Devices, Reports, Upload rankings to Sportmaniacs and Rankings publisher.

The main menu and the race menu are also described in Accessing the Copernico panel.

Hello. In this video we're going to explain the visual architecture of Copernico. In all of Copernico's menus you will see the same visual display.

On the left-hand side there is a dynamic section and a static section. In the static section you can report a bug, get help or log out [on screen, Report bug, Help and Log out; this section now also includes Configuration], and this is available from any Copernico screen.

The top part has a dynamic section, and it will change depending on the user. For example, if you're logged in as an administrator, you can create other users.

Once you have access to a race, the following options will be available to you: Race; Participants, where you have all of the data; Teams, which is only visible if you are timing a race with teams; Raws, which are the raw data from your race; Reports, where you can print rankings and lists; Chip sequencing [now a tab in Race]; Log; and Plugins. This is also your dashboard [Dashboard], but if you click on one of these, it will change.

So, for example, if I go to Participants, the central part of the screen changes and you can see all of the data here.

On the right side of the screen there is another menu that has options that are specific to the main menu action. So, for example, if you change the category here, the section from the main menu, it changes the central screen display and the content that's displayed, and then on the right side you have the individual actions you can take within that section.

There are a few actions that are always accessible, because you could always need them during a race: waves [Waves], issues [Issues], devices [Devices], reports [Reports] and upload rankings from Sportmaniacs [on screen, Upload rankings to Sportmaniacs; there is also Rankings publisher].
