How events are named

You don’t type an event’s name. It’s built from the fields you fill in, and it reads the same in the events list, the cards, the month view, the schedule grid, the family page and every subscribed calendar.

The four things

A title has to answer four things: who, what, when and where.

It does not need to restate that a session is training, and it does not need to name the calendar — you already know it is Ability, because that is the calendar you are looking at. What you need at a glance is the kind of training, when it starts, where it is, and who is on it.

So a training session reads:

U16 GS — Copper

• who — the group(s). Several are joined with a slash: U10/U12/U14
• what — the discipline. GS, SL, Conditioning, whatever you typed
• where — the venue, not the specific location

When isn’t in the name. Every view already shows the time in its own column, and calendar apps show it themselves — putting it in the title would just print it twice.

What it doesn’t say

Two things are deliberately missing:

• “Training” — you know it’s training. It only appears if you’ve left the discipline blank, because “U16” on its own tells a parent nothing. Then it reads U16 Training — Copper.
• The calendar name — you’re already looking at the Ability calendar, so repeating it would spend the space the group needs.

Races

Races read a little differently, because a race has its own vocabulary:

FIS W SL x2 — Aspen Highlands

Category, gender, discipline, how many races — then the venue. See Race-day details.

If you haven’t set a category yet, it says “Race” so it can’t be confused with a training session on the same hill on the same day: U16 Race SL — Copper.

No Training days

U16 No Training — no venue, because there’s nowhere to be.

Paging

A long list splits into pages. Next page → and ← Previous sit under the list in both the table and card views, and the page you’re on is part of the address — so a reload or a link you send someone lands in the same place.

Changing a filter, a date chip, or the view resets you to the first page. It has to: a page marker means “carry on after this event”, which stops meaning anything once the list it counted through is a different list.

Opening an event keeps your place. Click View or Edit from page four of a filtered list, and ← Events on the event page takes you back to page four of that same filtered list — as does saving an edit, and deleting the event. Working through a filtered list never costs you your place.

The one thing that doesn’t travel this way is table vs cards, and it doesn’t need to: that choice is remembered in your browser and applies everywhere.

When the list is filtered, it says so

Above the events list, a bar names every filter that is narrowing what you see — Group: U16, One series only, Search: “NorAm” — and each one can be lifted with a click, or all of them with Clear all.

This exists because creating a series lands you on a list filtered to that series. That is useful — here is what you just made — but nothing said so, every dropdown still read “All”, and switching to month view showed a nearly empty grid that looked broken rather than filtered. The only way back was a detour through Today.

Switching to month view now opens on the month you were reading, taken from the first event in the list, rather than always jumping to today.

Multi-day events

Set an end date later than the start date and the event now shows on every day it covers, with a → on the days it carries through, so a three-day race block reads as one block rather than three races.

A session that merely runs past midnight — 10pm to 1am — still sits on the day it starts. A later end date is not the same thing as a second day of event.

Month view: reading a race week

Chips in the month grid are ordered so a race week can be read across: the day’s most significant race leads, using the club’s own category list, and the same category lands on the same line every day.

Colour

Every view colour-codes by type — Training, Race, Conditioning, No Training, Other — as a stripe down the left edge of the row, card or month chip. The legend under the events list is the key.

The same event looks the same wherever you meet it, because the colours come from one shared definition rather than being set per view. Families see the same coding on their own page.

No Training gets its own colour rather than a blank swatch in the legend.

Month view is narrower

A month cell can’t fit a full title, so it drops the venue and keeps U16 GS. It always drops from that end, so what survives is the part you need most.

Overriding it

The Title field on the event form replaces the whole thing. Type “Turkey Trot” and that’s the name everywhere — in the feed it also gets the group in brackets, since your title won’t say who it’s for.

Use it for one-offs with real names. For ordinary sessions, filling in the discipline and venue gives a better result than typing a title by hand, and it stays consistent with everything else.
