Event-->Racers-->Add a new racer: Default Categories #63

Open calvertcruz opened 15 years ago

Why does the user have to enter a category for every racer, even though the options appear below the 'save' and 'cancel' buttons. To the user, it appears that the category chosen for the racer is being saved. The user shouldn't have to re-select categories every time for each racer. The user should be able to highlight previous selections of chosen categories.

Not totally following you on this one cal, you want to be able to have default categories for all racers? So that, for example, every racer would be preselected as being part of the "Men" category?

Cal's interpretation of the "Filter by Category" goes beyond filtering on the "Event" screen. He feels that if you have selected categories to filter by and then you click "add a new racer" it should automatically select those racer categories for you.

Thus speeding up the input process.

That's an interesting point. Let me think that one over, I don't want to get into an "action at a distance" sort of trap where some unseeable button on another screen has effects on a different screen, but I see your point now: "Navigate to the Women. Enter more Women." That's pretty intuitive, I just have to think how to change this action from a "filter" to a "navigation".
