Race certificate creation

In the DistantRace platform, it is possible to automatically generate virtual certificates for finishers. 
 It’s quite simple to do. Here is a short instruction: 
 1.	Open the race certificate view 
 
 In this view, you will be able to see all distances by blocks and download the PPTX file for the certificate design for each one. 
 2. Create the certificate design 
 The certificate design must be created in PPTX format (Microsoft PowerPoint). Specific text fields in the design will be automatically replaced.

 Adding Certificates to DistantRace 
 Deleting Certificates 
 To delete a certificate, check the “Clear” field and click the “Save” button. 
 Publishing a Certificate 
 If “Is Published?” is checked, a certificate will be automatically generated for the participant after results are added. 
 Adding a New PPTX File 
 Click the “Browse…” button, select the certificate, and click “Save.” After clicking “Save,” a visual sample is automatically created - this can take up to a minute. If a specific font is used that displays incorrectly, please send the font to support@distantrace.com for it to be added to the system. 
 Generate Certificates for Participants 
 If results are already added for participants, you can add a virtual certificate for participants by clicking “Save & Generate.” If the participant already has a certificate, it will be regenerated.
