“Positions on the line” is the website's report that helps you choose the dogs for a start: where each one ran, how far, and what happened to it. You read it at the desk. Yet a line is put together at the kennel, phone in hand and the dogs in front of you. The report is there now.
What you see
In Dogs, “⋯” menu, Positions on the line. Choose the period — 4 weeks, the season, or dates.
Distance by place: one row per dog, its main place in words (“In lead · 8 out of 10, sometimes in swing”), its trend (“Running more”), what happened to it (“dropped at 10 km · moved back”), and its kilometres on the right. Dogs that did not run follow, then the whole pack. Tap a dog: its kilometres in each place and their share, what was not recorded, its longest run, its last change of main place, and every run where something happened — “Lead, then swing at 5 km, then dropped at 10 km of 12 km”. “Sort” orders the dogs by place, distance, events or kilometres in a place, either way.
The runs, newest first. Tap one: who held which place at the start, what changed during it (to the kilometre), what was noted after, and who was not there. Beyond thirty runs, one row per week, which opens on its runs.
Events and places: dogs dropped or moved back on the way, flagged or injured after, counted at the place they held — or the one where they started the run. Next to each place, its kilometres, its count, and its rate per 100 km.
On a dog's record, Training tab, “Position on the line” opens the same screen, narrowed to that dog.
What others see, and what they don't
Every member of the kennel sees the same report: it is the kennel's, and the website gives the same figures — both compute with the same rule, checked on the same cases. Nothing leaves the kennel: no public page, no club. A dog that left, a guest or a dog on light activities is never counted among those that “did not run”.
What it doesn't do
It changes nothing: it reads. Correcting a place is still done on the run (“Correct the places”, “Give the places”). A run with no recorded places — typed in, imported — counts in the dog's distance, never in a place: the report does not guess. It never says why a dog was dropped: that is not recorded anywhere for now. And it gives no verdict: a rate over 40 km means nothing, so none is shown below 100 km.
Choices made against the obvious
It is on the phone. Our own review recommended leaving it on the website, with a sentence. We brought it anyway, because a line is chosen at the kennel.
No strips. The website draws one strip per dog, one column per run. On a phone screen, thirty columns make blocks a few millimetres wide that a finger cannot read: the phone says the same thing in words, run by run.
Offline, straight away. The report is read on the phone, from what it received at its last sync, and says so at the top of the screen: no waiting for signal at the far end of the kennel.
