Creating a Quick Row
When a person wants to organize an Online Rowing session on the spot, they go to Session Setup / Online / Create Quick Row, where they make up a name and specify a distance, and click Row. This automatically creates the Quick Row, checks in the person who created the Quick Row, and takes them to the Check-In and Start screen.
Once the Quick Row is created, Oarbits adds it to the Session List in Oarbits where others can see it. Also, from the time the Quick Row is created until the Starter clicks Prepare to Start in the Check-In and Start screen, the Quick Row will appear in the session list in RowPro Session Setup / Online, so anyone who wants to join it can do so.
The person who creates the Quick Row will be the designated Starter, which means they will have the job of clicking the Start button on the Check-In and Start screen to start the Quick Row when they're ready.
To create a Quick Row
• | First, arrange with one or more other Oarbits members to join you in a Quick Row. You can do this by asking anyone in Chat if they want to row, or by posting on the Digital Rowing forum, or emailing people you know, or using Oarbits messaging to invite other members to a Quick Row. |
• | Once you've organized your participants, connect your RowPro PC to the Internet and to your PM. |
• | Start RowPro, open Session Setup / Online and click the Create Quick Row button at the bottom of Session Setup. |
• | Make up a Name for the Quick Row (max 25 alphanumeric characters). |
• | Choose whether the Quick Row will be for a set Distance or a set Time and specify the Duration. |
• | Specify whether the Quick Row will be for 1x, 2x, 4x or 8x boats. Note to select the 2x, 4x and 8x options, RowPro must be in Multi-Erg mode. |
• | Click Row to create the Quick Row. |
• | You will automatically move to Check-in, where you must now wait for others to join. |
To edit a Quick Row
• | It is not possible to edit a Quick Row. If you've made a mistake, just Withdraw and create a new Quick Row. |
