We're excited to announce improvements to the activation process for your events on Racemap, offering greater flexibility and transparency in managing live tracking. Our new activation revolves around the event cycle to meet your specific needs.

Understanding the Basics: Event Cycle

The activation now aligns with the event cycle, covering periods when your event is live, as determined by the specified start and end times. At the beginning of each cycle charges for maps & used add-ons apply.  

Tailored to your event times 

Whether your event starts in one year, spans a single period, or is reused with pauses, our new activation seamlessly adapts to your requirements:

• When your event becomes live (indicated by the start time), then the first cycle starts, incurring a charge for the map & used add-ons.
• If your event duration exceeds the cycle length, a new cycle starts, incurring an additional charge.
• Once your event ends (indicated by the end time), no further charges are incurred after the last cycle. 
• If you want to use your event again, simply reactivate the event, with no charges during the pause period.

What does this mean for you?

• Charges for the map & used add-ons only incur for event cycles, allowing you to activate events well in advance without unnecessary costs. 
• Flexibility to adjust start & end times for upcoming events as needed.
• Enjoy peace of mind knowing that during pause periods, there are no charges for maps & add-ons.

Additional Benefits!

• Deeper Insights: Gain comprehensive insights into consumption details for each event, including existing charges and potential further charges based on current event time settings.

• Enhanced Event Status Visibility: Keep track of your event status with new badges indicating whether it's a TRIAL, ACTIVE, or ARCHIVED, as well as whether it's UPCOMING, LIVE, or FINISHED.
• Free Trials: Each event comes with a free trial, allowing you to test our tracking platform and settings at any time, for any duration. You have the option to run multiple trials simultaneously, activating only when you're convinced about the solution. Start your trail here: https://racemap.com/admin/events/new
