  • On the top of the session details you can see the start time of the session and the name of the session with the option to change the name. To change the name click on the icon and type the new name.

  • With the padlock button you can lock the session. Locking the season will prevent the cashiers from adding more drivers to it.

  • With the configuration button you can change the configuration of the track, if you have more than one track configurations. You can disable this option from the session management settings.

  • With the race category drop-down menu you can change the race category. From the drop-down menu you can choose to change the category from laps to minutes and the other way around. You can disable this option from the session management settings.

  • With the the race type menu button you can change the race type. From the race type drop down menu you can choose from:

    • By best time - is making the ranking by taking every drivers best lap.

    • By position - is looking for the first driver that crossed the finish line after the session ends or after the end session button is pressed.

    • By average lap time - lap time is taking the time of the whole session and divides it by the total laps the driver made.

    • By consistency - We calculate the difference between the average lap time and the best lap time. The smaller the difference the better the driver. So the driver with the smallest consistency time will be the winner of the session.

    You can disable this option from the session management settings.

  • From the cogwheel button you have the options to print the starting grid and to add or remove time to the entire session.

  • On the right side of the screen on the session management page you will see all of your kartings and cameras(if you are using the OnBoard13) in their correspondent type categories.

  • In the center of the session management page you will see all of the participants in the session. On the left side of their names you will see a checkbox that will allow you to mark two or more drivers. Or if you want to select all you can use the checkbox next to the Name column. Selecting more than one participant will give you two new buttons on the right side, that will be in blue. With the two arrows button you will be able to move the driver to another session. And with the cogwheel you can send them to the waiting list or change their speed map. With the eye icon next to the name, you have easy access to the drivers account information. You can also see the quantity of the product they have purchased, the kart type and the speed limit of the product, if there is one.

  2. You can also assign a kart to a specific driver by clicking the kart icon and then choosing the karting number from the right.

  3. If you want to allocate the karts that were driven in the last session, you can use the "Allocate Last Karts" button that is located under the karts categories.

  5. The kartings that are allocated to customers will disappear from the list of available kartings to prevent mistakes in allocation.

Allocating cameras to drivers.

Camera allocation can be made in several different ways.

  1. If you click on a camera number on the right the selected camera will be allocated to the first driver without one.

  3. If you want to remove the allocated camera, simply click on the X button next to the camera number you want to remove.

If a camera is grayed out that means that the camera is still operating on the last recorded video and it’s not available for allocation.
