Assets

The asset list provides the user with the ability to rapidly assess the current state of their fleet and staffing.  Each asset uses a combination of icons, color coding, and text to provide the user valuable information at a glance. There are also a few different settings that apply to setting up an asset. Below are instructions on setting up your assets.

      Some of these options are new in 6.9.0.0, if you don't see the options, you are looking for, check your         version. 

 Instructions

Asset Setup

1. The first part of setting up an asset is making sure that you have an ‘Asset Model’ to assign it to. Start by going to Settings → Asset Models. Below you will see the fields required to create an asset model. *Note, you have to do this before you can create an asset.

   a. Asset Model Types that are available are listed below.

      i.Ambulance

      ii. Car

      iii. Fixed (fixed wing aircraft)

      iv. Medical Bag

          1. Can have tracking unit assigned

           2. Does not need default fuel burn

      v. Other Ground

      vi. Rotor (rotor wing aircraft)

      vii. UAV

      viii. Water

2. After you have your ‘Asset Models’ setup, you can create your ‘Assets’. You do this by going to Settings → Assets, from here fill in the fields appropriately. Below is an example, please note that this is just an example and due to custom settings, you may not see all of the same options as below.

3. ‘Call Signs’ are another part of assets that are important. ‘Call Signs’ are interchangeable between assets; you can change them along with the assigned base of an asset as your operational needs dictate. To create them, go to Settings → Call Signs/Pager Assignments. Below is an image that will you guide you through their creation.

6. There are a series of icons that you might see appear on an asset throughout your shift, below is a list of the ones you may see and what they mean.

   a. The i icon displayed on the asset indicates that an asset has notes assigned to it.  When                 active, this icon will appear next to the asset to which it refers. Holding the cursor over the               asset or opening the asset information window will allows users to view the notes.

b. The clock symbol appears when it is time for a crew shift change. Shift change times are set in the asset information window.
