SpeedWaiver, Search, and RaceHero Updates

Hello Organizers,

Product Updates and Enhancements

The Product and Engineering team has been hard at work making improvements across the platform. As we deliver new features we always want to learn from the usage, and iterate on them to make it more valuable to you in your day-to-day use of the platform. One of those recent learnings and subsequent improvements is that now on our list screens (People, Attendees, and Entries) we are no longer persisting the search when you search for a name. This was a recent change implemented with the Saved Views feature and was causing more unnecessary clicks for many organizers, so this fix will save you valuable time. If you have not checked out our Saved Views feature yet, here is the blog post with more information.

New Saved Views Feature

Hello organizers,

New Events API and Widget

Hello Organizers,

SpeedWaiver Enhancements!

The team at MSR has made some big improvements to SpeedWaiver. In addition to recently adding the event name to the waiver to assist in event day operations at venues with many events going on at once, we have also fixed the issue where the minor waiver option was not present when a direct invite was sent from MSR. We have also made process changes within SpeedWaiver that should alleviate some of the issues and confusion that stem from signing minor waivers and help reduce the amount of second and third attempt SpeedWaivers, saving you money on waivers and time on event day! Going forward, when an attendee navigates to a SpeedWaiver link they will now be presented with the below screen with three options if minor waivers are enabled for your organization.

Cross-Event Reports Now Available!

One of the most requested reporting features that we have received is the ability to view a report that effectively and seamlessly pulls data across multiple events. Being able to do this will allow you to analyze how certain events performed financially compared to others, see participation across events, and track other organizational metrics for future decision making. Now available for Premium customers on the Reports page within MSR are four new cross-event reports!
