Part 2: Event Route Library

The Route Library

Within the Event account, the member managers can designate certain users  as route managers. Route managers can click Sign into club account (manage routes) to make changes or additions to the route library. The toolbar at the top of the site will turn yellow to signify you are signed in with your Event account. If the toolbar is grey, then you are still signed in with your personal account. While signed in to your Event account, click Sign Out to return to your personal account.

 

There are many options for sorting and filtering routes. Click on any of the column headers to sort by the corresponding attribute. Click the column header a second time to reverse the sort order. Use the search boxes and sliders to filter.

If you find a route on another account that you would like to add to your library, you can do so from your personal account or while logged into the Event Account:

1. Bring up the route you want to add to your account library.
2. In the left side panel, click More > Copy to My Routes. You can optionally change name and permission on the following screen
3. Select the organization you want to add the route to under the Account dropdown. You will only see this if signed into your personal account.
4. Click Copy to My Routes to finish.

1. Sign in to the Event account.
2. Click the Plan link in the yellow menu bar at the top of the screen to open the route planner.
3. Plan your route and click save.

Routes in the Event account route library can have their own privacy settings. Only route managers can access these options.

• Public - Anyone including members and non-members can view these routes. Both members and non-members can take advantage of all the signature features for these routes.
• Event Participants - Only event participants can see these routes and take advantage of the Premium features. Non-participants will not see these routes at all.
• Route Managers - Only route managers will see these routes. This setting is for routes that are considered works-in-progress or that event organizers don't yet wish to reveal to participants.

Here's a quick demo on adding tags:

Routes can be archived from the route library. These routes will not be visible to event account members for viewing on the web, or for downloading and navigating on the app. These routes can be added back into the route library for use by members. Only a route manager will have access to these options.

1. Select the routes you want to archive by clicking the checkboxes adjacent to their names.
2. Click Archive at the bottom row beneath route table.
3. View your archived routes by clicking View Archived Routes in upper right.
4. Routes can be unarchived with these same steps from the View Archived Routes page.
5.  

Route managers can change a route's starting location. This is handy if you want to specify the neighborhood or landmark at the start of the ride instead of the city.

1. Sign in to the Event account.
2. Select one or more routes.
3. Click the Set City  button at the bottom of the list.
4. Type the city, landmark, neighborhood or other attribute to appear as the start location.

 

Event Account admins are able to lock routes to prevent any changes from being made until the routes are unlocked. Lock routes can not be edited or deleted until they are first unlocked and only admins have the ability to lock or unlock routes.

Locking Routes

1. Check the boxes to select which routes to lock.
2. Once selected, click Lock.
3. Now that the routes are locked, no changes can be made without first unlocking the route.

 

Unlocking Routes

1. Check the boxes to select which routes to unlock.
2. Once selected click Unlock.
3. Now the routes are unlocked and may be modified by club member with Route manager privileges.

 

If viewing a locked route, you’ll see the lock icon prepended to the route name. Note that the Edit option is missing, even while logged in as Route Manager.

You can view the edit history of all of your individual Event routes, including date and route managers.

• Sign in to the Event account.
• View the Route Library.
• Click on the i icon next to the route you want to view. If the route is locked you will see a lock icon.

 

This will bring up a box listing the edit history for that specific route, in addition to the privacy settings and what events and tags are associated with that route.

Click on Export CSV to download a full list of all your routes, either for individual events or for your entire Event account. This can then be imported into your favorite spreadsheet program.

Open or Import your CSV into your chosen spreadsheet program like Google Spreadsheet, Apple Numbers, or Microsoft Excel.

Route Managers can use collections to organize and share your routes. Using Collections allows you to share a collection of your routes with anyone you choose.

To access Collection, sign into your organization and click Collections from the Event Account navigation bar.
