Setting Up a New Show or Trial

Before You Start

Make sure your club has a valid, active license key. Go to the Club page and verify the license status shows Valid. Only clubs with an active license can create new shows.

Creating a New Show/Trial

1. Go to File → New Show/Trial
2. Fill in the event details:
   • Show/Trial name
   • Date(s)
   • Location
   • Club
3. Click Save

Setting Up Classes and Rings

1. Open your newly created show/trial
2. Navigate to the Classes section
3. Add classes for each ring or division in your event
4. Set the judge, ring number, and any class-specific details

Adding Entries

You can add entries in three ways:

• Manual entry: Use the entry form to add dogs one at a time
• Spreadsheet import: Go to File → Import to bring in entries from a CSV or Excel file (see our article on Importing Data from Spreadsheets)
• myK9Q: If you use the myK9Q mobile app, entries can be synced from the app to the desktop software

Using myK9Q for Show Management

The myK9Q cloud app lets you manage entries from any device. Visit myk9q.com to learn more about linking the app to your show or trial.

Troubleshooting

• Club not listed when creating a show? Check the Club page and make sure the license key is entered and shows a Valid status
• Cannot add entries? Make sure the show and at least one class have been created and saved first
• Need help with a specific setup? Open a support ticket with details about what you are trying to set up
