NEW FEATURE: Find what you need, faster with Dashboard Search

RacePrep
March 3, 2025

We know that managing your race car's components can get complex. With countless parts, maintenance schedules, and lap counts to track, finding that one specific component you need to find in a long list can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

In fact, one race team experienced this first-hand. They had swapped out a transmission and U-Joint before the feature. On their way home, they started updating their Dashboard and lap counts, but since they replaced the parts, they needed to adjust the laps on those two parts individually (and the maintenance tasks that went with them). Scrolling through numerous components to locate all of the items was more difficult than necessary. 

That’s why we’re introducing a new feature that will streamline your workflow and save you valuable time: Dashboard Search.

Dashboard Search helps you easily locate any component or task

Instead of scrolling through a lengthy list, our new search functionality allows you to instantly locate any component on your dashboard. 

Simply start typing a keyword or part of the component's name into the search bar, and RacePrep will dynamically filter your component cards, displaying only the relevant results. 

This allows for quick updates, and less time searching through a long list.

How to Use Dashboard Search:

  1. Navigate to your RacePrep dashboard.
  2. Press on the magnifying glass icon to open up the search box above the component card display.
  3. Type the name or keyword of the component you're looking for (e.g., "Transmission," "Universal Joint").
  4. Watch as RacePrep dynamically filters your results.
  5. Tap on the dashboard card to edit it directly or slide it to the left to perform additional actions like delete or move this part to the Garage.

Key Benefits of Dashboard Search:

  • Increased Efficiency: Quickly find the components you need, saving valuable time, especially during post-race analysis or repairs.
  • Improved User Experience: Eliminate the frustration of scrolling through long lists, as highlighted by our racer's experience.
  • Enhanced Organization: Easily manage and access your race car's components, making updates and maintenance tracking a breeze.
  • Reduced Errors: Faster access to the correct component reduces the chance of accidentally editing the wrong one or entering duplicates, ensuring accurate records.
