RD: How do I use the event dashboard?
This tutorial explains how to manage your event with RaceMenu's event management dashboard.
There are two ways to access your dashboard:
- Log into RaceMenu and go to "MyRM," then click on "Manage Events" and you should see your event(s). Simply click on the “Manage” button to the access your event dashboard.
- The more direct way is to type the URL racemenu.com/d/shortURL into your browser where "shortURL" is changed to your event's Custom URL set on the Summary Page in the dashboard.
The first screen you'll see is the summary screen which shows the number of registrations and the dollar amount that has come in so far for your event. From there you can navigate to any area of the site utilizing the pull-down menu's for the major sections listed across the top, or within those sections on the left navigation bar. We will briefly discuss each below. Follow the links for more detailed info.
