User configuration menu

This article explains the options on your user's Configuration page in Copernico: the default values for new races, the interface language and the measurement system.

The settings are saved for your user and apply to the new races you create with it. The page is in the timekeepers' application; the organizer access does not show it.

1. Open the configuration

Click Configuration (gear icon), at the bottom of the left-hand menu, next to Help and Log out.

The first time you open the page, Copernico shows a guided tour that explains each option.

When you change any setting, the change is saved immediately: there is no save button.

For more information about the left-hand menu, see Accessing the Copernico panel.

2. Default Race Configuration

The settings in this block apply to the new races created with your user. This change will not affect the races already created.

• Default Participants preset. This is the preset displayed when you open Participants in a race for the first time. From the list, which shows your user's presets, select the one you want to use by default. With Auto-generated, the default value, no preset is applied. This preset is also applied when you open Participants in an existing race where you have not chosen one yet. Presets are explained in How to use multiple views in participants.
• Default time renderer. Determines how participant times are displayed by default. You can select Round-down time (the default value), Time with milliseconds, Round-up time or Raw. New races use it as the Time type of each event, which you can change later in the race configuration (see Creating a race in Copernico).

3. User interface

• Language. Changes the language of the Copernico interface: English, Español or Français. The change is applied immediately.
• Measurement system. Metric or Imperial. It will affect distances and averages (participant pace). New races use it as their Measurement system, which you can change later in each race configuration. If you have never changed it, Copernico suggests Imperial when the browser is set to US English and Metric otherwise.

4. Go back to the default values

If necessary, click the RESET button to return to the default values.

5. Video transcript

Translation of the Spanish narration of the video.

The configuration menu is located at the bottom left. Once inside, we will see several configuration options for new races. This will not affect races that have already been created.

The first option is a default preset when opening Participants. We simply have to select, from our user's list of presets, the one we want by default.

The second is a default rendering option for time fields. We can select rounded down, time with milliseconds or rounded up [there is now also a fourth option, Raw].

The next option is to change the base language of Copernico. The last option is the choice of measurement system. This will affect distances and averages.

When we make any change, we will see that it is saved immediately. If necessary, there is a reset button to return to the default values.
