The Dog Sports Multi Catalogue will allow you to give the same dog the same number across all events that have been joined together.
Join Events (Configure Catalogue Page)
To be able to use the Multi Catalogue, you will need to 'Join' other events to a primary event, the primary event is typically the first event. From the 'Configure Catalogue' page, click on edit and scroll down to the 'Join other events for Multi Catalogue' section and tick all the events that you want to join together.
On joining the events, the system will list any event that has an event date near the primary event. The type of event does not matter, you can join any type of event together.
MENU > CLUB AREA > CLUB EVENTS > EVENT NAME > CATALOGUE OPTIONS > Configure Catalogue
Assign Exhibit Numbers (Catalogue Reports Page)
After the events have been joined to the primary event, you can now run 'Assign Exhibit Numbers' from the catalogue reports page. This step will give a number to each of the exhibits across all the events and reuse the same number for the same dog. The type of event does not matter. The numbering will be done in the order of the events in the case where a dog is not entered in all events.

FAQ
Q: Can the multi-catalogue format be similar to the Conformation Catalogue, where it will list the entry once and put an indicator beside the entry to indicate which event they are entered in?
A: No, as the running order of the events and also the type of events can vary, this feature was not possible.
Q: Can I reset the number for different event types?
A: Yes, from the 'Configure Catalogue' page, click on edit and select the 'Reset Exhibitor Number based on event type' and save. Then run 'Assign Exhibit Numbers' again from the catalogue reports page.
