| To enter the members area click on the 'Members' button on the left hand
button bar of each Gallica website page. |
 |
| Enter your user name and password. Your user name is usually your first
name and last name joined together with no space in between. Keep the
capital letter on your first and last name. You can receive your initial
password from your squad rep - you should change this password when you first
enter your members area. |
 |
| Once you have entered a correct username and password, you will be
presented with a page showing tables of PBs for short and long course
events. There are a row of links on the page including 'Change my
password', 'Edit profile', 'Show raw results', 'Printer friendly'. At the
bottom of the page there is a section which allows you to enter a new result
into your members area. |
 |
| From the main members home page select the 'Change my password' link to
display a page which asks you to enter your old password and also enter your
new password twice. |
 |
| From the main members home page select the 'Edit profile' to display a
rather long page with two halves. The top half displays your current profile
data. The bottom half contains a data entry area in which you can enter new
text for each individual category. Once you have added/changed the text in
the input fields, press the Update button to refresh the page.
If you want to add text that includes a carriage return you can use the text
<br>. So for example, the text "line 1<br>line 2" will be
displayedas:
line 1
line 2

|
| On the main members home page you can add event timings by filling in
the fields at the bottom of the page. Dont forget that dates are entered in
the format YYYY_MM_DD, so 2007_10_14 is the 14th October 2007. Also times
are entered in MM:SS.HH, so minutes first then a colon, then seconds, then a
decimal point then hundredths of seconds (e.g. 1:23.45 is one minute, 23
seconds and 45 hundredths of a second). Press the add result and the page
will be displayed - if this time is a PB is will be displayed in the short or
long course results table at the top of the page. You can add multiple times
for the same event - each time will be stored but only the PB will be
displayed on this page. |
|
| Once you have entered some event times, the short and long course
results tables will show your PBs. Each PB is a clickable link which takes
you to a table of results for that event. In this example, clicking on the
3:01.23 time on the members home page takes us to all the entered results for
the 400m long course results. |
 |
| The individual event result page shows the results for that event in
time order (PB at the top). In the case where an incorrect time was entered,
it is possible to press the 'Delete' link to remove that time. |
 |
| From the members home page you can select the 'Show raw results' page to
display all your results in what is known as CSV (comma-separated-values)
format. You can copy this page to a file on your own computer and load it
into a spreadsheet for your own use. You can also use this method to keep
your own copy of your result data just in case something happens to the web
server - over 5 years I haven't lost any data and I keep regular backups of
all the information, but you never know! |
 |
| On several pages there is a link labelled 'Printer Friendly'. This link
takes you to a page which doesnt show the Gallica banner and buttons, but
just shows the result table or other items of interest. This is probably
more suitable for printing results. |
