July 18 Updates

  • Started alerts! Just race entries for now
  • You can scratch horses from the alert page
  • Updated database data

So, here’s how alerts will work:

  • the number of alerts will appear in the top right of the menu
  • the colour/value of the number depends on the alert status: priority is new, then unread, then total
  • 2 new alerts, 3 unread alerts, 10 total alerts: 2 in green (for new)
  • 0 new alerts, 3 unread alerts, 10 total alerts: 3 in blue (for unread)
  • 0 new alerts, 0 unread alerts, 10 total alerts: 10 in grey (for read)
  • race entries will be read by default
  • some alerts will require action by you to mark them as read (game alerts, etc)

Scratching:

  • you’ll get an alert asking you to confirm whether you want to scratch, and listing whether you will/will not get a refund
  • if you confirm, the horse will be scratched, the corresponding budget transaction deleted, and (if you get a refund) your budget will be updated
  • the alert will also go away for that entry

Feel free to practice scratching - it won’t affect the current site so your horses will still be entered to race. :slight_smile:

Tried scratching from the alert page and it worked! That’s very convenient.

I also love the color of the links. A lot.
