Search for athletes
Jason Dobbs
When in Event Dashboard, there is no simple way to search for an athlete entry. Oddly, there is a searchbar tool to search for divisions, which doesn't help much, since they're all right there to begin with (and with 10-12 for us, aren't that many to begin with). Similarly, my memberships account has a "Search for athletes" function, so the technology seems to be there. It would be great to apply it here too please. As is, when someone gives me a name, but not a division, it's a total needle in the haystack search. Even if I know the division, some of our categories hold 100 athletes each, and I have to scan for them from that long list. Sometimes, people don't even indicate the correct event they're asking about, so I have to do all this multiple times (having trained my community to provide ALL the information when requesting support). A single "Search for Athlete" bar would make all our lives easier, and can't be that hard to add!

Hey Jason Dobbs
Thanks for the feedback! We've heard this from other organisers as well.
Good news! We've recently released a new "All entries" area within the system with powerful search and filtering capabilities.
You can now filter and sort entries by full name, division, status, entry date, and more. This will make it much easier to find the specific athlete you're looking for, even if you don't know their division.
We're still adding to this! So, soon you'll also see: membership information, seed rank, and easily be able to update seed, bib, team, and some custom field details directly within this area.
You can access the "All entries" area by clicking the "All entries" button in the top right of the Event dashboard. Check it out and let us know what you think!
