LMS Login issues & LMS clinics

In order to login to the LMS as an official, they need a Ballchart ID.  Some accounts do not automatically get a ballchart ID.  Sportlomo does run a script twice daily to add ballchart IDs to officials who do not have one. 

A reminder that officials must login to the LMS at least once for a COA to be able to add them to a clinic.  Sportlomo is supposed to be running a script daily to do this auto login.

Before emailing officials, always double check they have a ballchart ID.  You may want to delay communications until that is assigned and sportlomo does the auto-login script.

How to add historical clinics to REMS

  • The clinic needs to be added to LMS first with the correct date.  
    • You may need to add a different instructor then the one that did the clinic as they may not be in the LMS.  This can be edited after the information is sent to REMS.
    • Clinic names to select:
      • Timer Clinic, choose both Intro to Swim officiating & Safety Marshal Clinics
      • For the old Stroke & Turn clinic, choose both Inspector of Turns and Judge of Stroke clinics
      • For Clerk of Course, choose Administrative Desk clinic
      • For Chief Recorder/Recorder clinic, choose Recorder Clinic only
      • For Chief Finish Judge/Chief Judge Electronic Clinic, choose both Chief Recorder & Chief Judge Electronics Clinics
  • In the notes to participants add a note for Nicole that this is for historical clinic addition.
  • Wait for approval
  • Add official (s)
  • Save attendees, submit for approval, send to REMS
  • Once in REMS, you can edit the fields such as the instructor name and location.

How to add an official to a clinic that has already been sent to REMS

  • Contact Nicole to ask that the clinic be “unlocked” so that you can add someone that was missed.
  • Once unlocked, you will be able to add more attendees, save attendees, submit for approval and re-send to REMS.
  • Note: there are many clinics in the LMS that were never sent to REMS.  Always check this as a possible reason for missing credentials.
