How does the co-driver picker work? (Long Doc)
Co-Driver Pickers are a Premium Plan feature that allow participants to share vehicles and form teams. Placing a Co-Driver Picker on your registration form will allow one attendee to pick another to indicate they will be working together. It's not limited just to driving events; it's helpful for any event where you want to link two attendees.
Most commonly this is used to indicate two or more people sharing one vehicle. Autocross and HPDE events may want this information to be sure drivers are in the same or different run groups (e.g., two people can't drive/ride simultaneously) while endurance races may want to know who will be co-driving over the course of a long race. Rally events use this to connect Driver and Navigator.
Co-Driver Pickers let you select which Segments (day) permit vehicle sharing. For each segment selected, the registration form will display one dropdown field allowing the attendee to select an existing Assignments (not Attendee) from another driver. The end result is one assignment with two or more attendees.
Because subsequent attendees select from a list of existing assignments, the primary attendee must complete their registration before they will be selectable for sharing. Attendees who perform multiple registrations on behalf of other people (friends, spouses, children, renters, etc.) will have to finalize the primary registration first.
Co-Driver Pickers may be optional or required.
Parts Bin and choosing Add New, Co-Driver Picker. The following form will be presented in the edit pane:
The Co-Driver Picker has a label that acts as a title and optional help text you can use to provide direction or incentive for your participants.
Once saved, the Co-Driver Picker must be dragged from the parts bin onto the form layout.
Note the picker must be nested under an Entry Package (blue car icon). Co-Driver Pickers outside of an Entry Package will result in information not being saved.
Under the co-driver package, place a Co-Driver Picker to let the co-driver indicate who they will be running with.
The co-driver's registration will indicate who they are sharing with, along with any additional options they have registered for.
If you edit the assignments, you can add a co-driver manually.
NOTE: Co-Drivers will not appear on the public attendee's list unless they have a separate assignment themselves.
