Speeding up the Rack view

Q: What causes the Rack screen to be so slow and rewrite line by line?

A: This is most likely due to having one or more "Show # Sites Available" options enabled in the Rack Options (click on the "Options" button at the top of the Rack to review the settings).  Those can be very slow when your database gets larger.

Other things that can affect the speed include using a custom Color Scheme with complicated formulas, Queries inserted below the dates or next to the Sites with additional information, Showing unassigned reservation counts ("No Site"), or having a large number for "Default past days" or "Default future days".

In addition, there are some things that may be causing Campground Master to slow down in general (usually affecting more than just the Rack):

1. Database getting too large -- if you've been using Campground Master for more than 5 years, you should consider using the Purge function (under Maintenance) to clear older data.

2. Auto-saving too often or too slowly -- check Maintenance / Program Options / Database.  Where it has "Automatically save database after each action", try increasing the number of seconds, e.g. to 60 seconds.  Do NOT uncheck the auto-save option, since you will risk losing a lot of data if there is a computer crash.

3. Networking issues -- if you're using multiple computers, a synchronization issue can bring all of the workstations to a crawl.  To solve this, perform a Full Network Resync on the Master (see Network Functions).

Also pay attention to the Status Bar at the bottom of Campground Master, since it may tell you what it's doing when there is a delay.
