How Does It Work? or Get Started

Equipment Tracking Beta



We have started rolling out equipment tracking on a stage-by-stage basis. While you may start to add data, please understand that until we remove the Beta label the feature is still in development. We do this so we can build the best possible tool, using you as a feedback loop and giving you a feeling of shared ownership. Rather than delivering you a service that's not right at the end of a development cycle - we get you involved! We'll make announcements on our Facebook Community Page as we progress and invite you to use the 'Improve This Page' link at the bottom of every page.




Equipment - track equipment purchases, weights, dates, and locations.

Supplies - track supplies, stores, quantities, and orders.

Repairs - both scheduled and impromptu. These will be linked up to the tasks which will be auto-generated for assigned personnel.

Inspections - set up recurring inspections and stock checks.

PPE - know which team member was issued which pieces of equipment.

Usage - log hours usage against each item of equipment to track stats and replacement dates.

Permission - ability to assign an equipment officer the ability to edit only equipment.

Bulk Upload and Manipulation - ability to upload a spreadsheet or equipment to get started.

Hi Sean!

1. When we get around to building it. It's not a priority until we get all the other fields defined (so you only have to upload once).

2. What is a ROW? What is the EXCEL link?

3. I see you've sent that over. Thanks, might be good data to test with :-)

Will it be possible to add a stand alone folder in the Organize Equipment section for each of the soft day rigs

Yes, every item can have items in it.

So create a Soft-Day then go to [Organize Equipment] and drag the gear into it (the cursor will change when you can release the mouse to drop it in).

Or, you can create a soft-day, and then on the soft-day page, add equipment to it on the tree view.

Sounds like a plan did that with some of the gear we entered in the new system

This is a really great feature with one critical missing piece. We need the ability to assign each piece of equipment to an individual member and then be able to look at that member's profile to see what he/she has in possession. This is particularly critical for us as we issue a life jacket, strobe, survival knife, whistle, signal mirror, and glow stick to our crewmen.

Thanks!

Is it possible for you and work at height to get together and make the equipment log for soft day systems accessible here to save the equipment officer having to do it twice?
Also as discussed earlier, can you up date all the existing CG logs that are downloadable from the CG website which are not environmentally friendly print wise.........

That's what we're working on!

Yes - we'll enable inspections for all equipment.

Morning
On the topic of usage logging hours for equipment use will there be a link from lets say a Rope to a hours used page/spreadsheet?
