New in MEET MANAGER 8.0

This New Features List is based on MEET MANAGER 8.0Aa which is the first version of the 8.0 release series.

•The Events browser now includes an Event Note column.

•In Sessions > SESSION SCHEDULE > Event Interval column, coaches can now enter an event interval in seconds which overrides the default session-level interval.

•In Setup and Use Records, when checking for broken records, Meet Manager now checks split results.

Athletes Menu

•In the Comp# menu, coaches can now order athletes by age by selecting the Order by Athlete age check box.

•In the Transfer menu, coaches can now batch transfer all athletes in one team to another team.

Run Screen

•In Interfaces > Scoreboard > Customize, coaches can now select to use Team Abbreviations.

•When entering results for a meet, coaches can now enter Over the Time Limit (OTL) results.

Reports Menu

•In the Athlete Rosters Report, coaches can now select the No Relay Athletes Only radio button to include only athletes not on a relay.

•In the Results Report, coaches can now select the DQ Results check box to include the actual time for DQ results.

•In the Meet Program report > Columns / Formats tab, coaches can now select to print All Heats, Odd Heats Only or Even Heats Only.

•In the Meet Program report > Include in Meet Program, coaches can now select to Include session break.

•In the Meet Summary Report > Report Type / Format / Options tab, coaches can select the new Slower than Seed Time option to list all athletes who swam slower in the meet than their seed time.

Labels Menu

•In Award Labels, coaches can now select the Use JD Place check box to use places by JD assignment instead of by swimmers' times.

Database Conversion

•If MM 8.0 attempts to open an MM 2.0 database, the database will be automatically converted to the MM 8.0 structure. MM 8.0 databases are interchangeable with MM 7.0, MM 6.0, MM 5.0, MM 4.0 and MM 3.0 databases, but when opening with MM 7.0, the features that come with MM 8.0 will of course not be available.

•MM 2.0 versions will not be able to open an MM 3.0 or higher databases. The work around for MM 2.0 users is to install the Free MM 8.0 Demo and use the Demo to view the data, create reports, and create needed export files. The ACTIVE Network Demo for MM 8.0 can be downloaded from the HY-TEK web site at: http://hytek.active.com/downloads.html
