Event Items Selection

Through Event items selection in the View menu you can prepare a list of publications (from the current event) that you can use at a later point to quickly copy, print, upload or e-mail.

Adding Items

You can add items to the Event items selection dialog by:

• Dragging an item from the event tree to the Event items selection dialog; or
• Selecting an item in the event tree and choosing Copy to selection dialog from the Edit menu.

Naturally you can only add items that have publications associated with them. It is, however, allowed to add publication items for which the publication is not actually generated yet.

Removing items

When you select an item in the Event items selection dialog, you can remove it from the dialog by clicking Clear.

Number of Copies

You can set the number of copies for each item that is in the Event items selection dialog.

When you select an item in the dialog, you can set the number of copies in the Copies edit box.

Using the Total copies edit box you again multiply the number of copies that is set for each individual item.

The number of copies clearly only applies to printing of publications.

Copy

Copy the items from the Event items selection dialog to al alternate file location.

Through the Browse for Folder dialog you can select the destination (folder) to use as a destination for the copy.

Print

Print the items from the Event items selection dialog in the number of copies as set.

For speed, you will not be asked for a printer choice or any other confirmation. The last printer that you used from within StageRace or alternatively your default printer will be used.

A simple printing algorithm is used for doing this. Each copy of each publication that you print will be a separate print job. Therefore, if you need many copies of the same publication, it might be better to use the basic print function of the publication view.

Mail

Your system's default e-mail client will be invoked, composing a new e-mail message of which the body is filled with general settings information and with the items from the Event items selection dialog as an attachment.

Using the invoked e-mail client you may still have to supply the addressees and actually send off the message, but through the upload and mail settings you can pre-configure e-mail addresses for this event, and if these recepients must be included as BCC (hidden from each other).

Upload

The items from the Event items selection dialog will be uploaded to an internet location, using the FTP protocol. The upload settings apply to this function.

Example of Use

When a half stage arrival is upcoming, you already know which publications the jury will be asking for. You can already add these to the Event items selection dialog so that you can speed up the process of printing once the arrival data is processed.
