AMS System - Points for consideration for the future.


As promised please find below my summary of comments as collected from the
discussions I had with CIAM Bureau members and also I am including some personal
opinions more related to technical matters.


In general I can say that this application is very helpful. This year was
extensively used from November to December by most of the CIAM Bureau members
who actually registered the events for 2020. Next year they will train the
individual organizers so to be able to use the system by themselves for the 2021
events.


We registered more than 350 events with not any real problem.


Below are the comments I mentioned above and also please find attach a report from one of CIAM Users who registered more than 100 events.


1. A lot of windows remains open while using the system (adding, searching
etc). For every action a new window is opening.


2. Similar to the above. When you apply a filter to select an event or
events and then you select one to view it. A new window is opening. If you press
the browser go back button instead it is going to a screen where the filters are
not there. You need to find the exact window so not to lose the filters used.


3. A lot of emails are generated. Maybe it is better to digest them by day
instead one for every single action. Of course the format of such an email is to
be agreed.


4. If you have used a workflow to register an event and then you decide
that you have used the wrong workflow the only solution is to delete the wrong
entry and register a new event from the beginning.


5. Not all cities are included on the database and no access to the
database to include the new cities to it. Sometimes when the city is not
included the saved city is storing also other information like, country or zip
code. Kyrylo did a fix for that but as I can see sometimes this is repeated.


6. Entry fees are possible only in Euros. When an event is happening
outside Europe this is a restriction. Of course the value entered can be in any
currency but the title is restrictive.


7. When you are adding a new field as administrator (for example I add
Entry Fees for Junior) there isn’t an option for Numeric fields.


8. When it comes to add the disciplines to the competition if this is only
one it is OK. However in CIAM an event may have more than one discipline. In
that case you need to do a lot of actions to include all of them. If you could
choose all the disciplines with one multiple selection that will be even better.
This is a must for CIAM.


9. Organizers. Sometimes the organizer is the same Club or organization but
then the contact person is different. In that case we need to add fake
organizations in order to be able to add the correct person for each event.


10. Export. The export in excel needs to be improved. We need to have all the
information available. For example if there are Hosting NACs, or Participating
NACs or Organizing NACs we need to have them displayed. The ISO country code is
not useful. Better to present the IOC country code. The info about the
organizers is completely missing. When published the FAI Event ID is not
displayed and finally when an event is with more than one discipline the same
information is displayed for all disciplines like Juiors, Seniors, Male, Female,
description of the discipline. For CIAM what it is necessary is only the code of
the discipline.


11. No reports or exports exist for the Master files.


12. It is unclear how to do the corrections when the event is published and
how this correction will be triggered by the API so to update the main database
which is updating the web site.


13. If we have an option to name the displayed field names will be a good
option. Some of the legends might be different from one ASC to the other and
this option will help.


14. We need to agree the options for payments.
