Feature request - suspend a schedule

Open ScouterAndy opened this issue 2 years ago • 0 comments

It would be useful to be able to suspend a schedule - ie. officially put it on hold.

Our example this weekend is that we had created a 'test' group and were using it to run track tests, debug timer interaction, etc.

We ran a few heats, then went back to racing proper groups.

However, we needed to change the available lanes prior to running 18 wheelers (have to use lanes 1, 3 and 5 on a six lane track, as the 18 wheelers are too wide to race in adjacent lanes) and we couldn't... because we had an active schedule in our test group that wasn't complete, so the setup page wouldn't let us click lanes on and off (since there were was an incomplete scheduled round).

But this could have happened if we, for some other reason, had to race part of a group, switch to another group, and make setup changes.

If we were able to officially 'suspend' the partly-raced scheduled round, then it might be permissible for the setup dialogue to let us change the lane setup, with suitable warnings in red to ensure we know what we're doing, etc. etc. etc.

Thoughts?
