Finish Times

Help Index

---

The RacelogWeb Finish Collector App. This screen loads after you open your fleet file in RacelogWeb and then click the "Times" button (see screenshot below). This is where you enter your Finish Times.

This app is integrated with RacelogWeb, but separate from RacelogWeb. RacelogWeb requires that you be connected to the internet, and logged in to RacelogWeb. The App can be used even when disconnected from the internet.

Tech Note: The technical term for the app is "Progressive Web App". It is initiated from RacelogWeb, and is not required to be downloaded or installed from Apple's or Googles's App store. It will run Online or Offline on Windows, Mac, iPad and Android tablet. It can run on a phone but the screen is too small to be practicle.

The Times finish data you capture here will integrate into your Fleet File and can then be 'scored' in RacelogWeb in the same manner as any Fleet File.
