Live Console Overview & Screen Layout
The Live Console is a real-time dashboard designed to remain open on a PC at event headquarters on event day.
It brings together safety (SOS, area alerts, signal loss), progress (check-in, start, return), and competition (controls, standings) on a single screen without switching tabs. You can also act on records from this screen, such as judging photos, adjusting scores, and force-ending play.
1. What You Can Check on the Console
| Perspective | What You Can Do | Key Screen Parts |
|---|---|---|
| Safety | Detect SOS calls, restricted area entry, out-of-area exit, signal loss (10+ min), and overtime | Top status band, Alert panel, Live map |
| Progress | Real-time counts for check-in, unstarted, running, and finished runners against the roster, plus return check | Status meters, Not back tab, Roster tab |
| Competition | Punch counts per control, chronological punch timelines, and provisional standings | Controls tab, Standings tab |
| Participant Details | Check coordinates (with copy button), attendance status, notes, and punch history | Detail panel (right side) |
| Record Actions | Photo judging, score adjustment, adding and canceling visits, time edits, Finished ↔ DNF, Entry Number and alias, force end, remote punch, resolving SOS, and messages (Record Actions from the Live Console) | Detail panel |
Available for both competition events (score courses, straight courses, etc.) and location-sharing events.

3. Screen Structure
The screen consists of Top, Middle, and Bottom sections, plus a Detail Panel on the right side.
① Top Section (Header, Status Band, Meters)
- Header: Displays event title, category selector, and data stream health (last received timestamp and connection status).
- Status Band: Fixed at the top while unacknowledged urgent alerts (SOS, restricted area, out of area) or disconnection persist. Use Show on map or Details to navigate quickly.
- Meters: Displays counts for Roster, Check-in, Not started, Running, Finished, and Alerts. Clicking any meter immediately filters the table below by that status.
② Middle Section (Live Map + Alert Panel)
- Live Map (Left):
- Displays courses, controls, and designated play/restricted areas.
- Participant markers are color-coded by status (blue for running, white for no signal, grey for finished, red for alerts/SOS).
- Clicking a marker links to the corresponding row in the table and opens the detail panel.
- Alert Panel (Right):
- Active alerts (SOS, restricted area, out of area, no signal, overtime) appear prioritized by severity.
- Clicking Acknowledge dims and collapses alerts currently being handled.
③ Middle & Bottom Height Adjustment
Drag the divider bar between the map and table up or down to adjust their heights.
- You can also adjust height using the keyboard
↑/↓keys. - Double-clicking the divider bar resets it to the default split ratio.
④ Bottom Section (Tabs)
Switch between 5 functional tabs:
- Participants: Full table with Number and Name anchored on the left when scrolling horizontally.
- Standings: Real-time provisional leaderboard by category.
- Controls: List of all controls with total punch counts and last punched times.
- Not back: Dedicated panel for end-of-event safety verification. Shows completion when everyone is back.
- Roster: Read-only view of entry data (attendance status and notes).
⑤ Right Panel (Details / Punches)
On wide screens, this panel sits docked on the right side; on narrower screens, it overlays only when selected.
- Clicking a row loads that participant's coordinates, attendance, notes, and punch history, along with buttons for record actions.
- On the Controls tab, clicking a spot loads that control's chronological punch timeline.
4. Category Filtering
Filter by a specific category using the header or map category selector.
While filtering by category, unacknowledged alerts or unreturned runners in other categories are indicated with total counts to prevent oversight. The alert panel displays a count with a button to return to all categories.
