AIP

1.  From your settings menu, search for AIP to Enable the Accident/Incident Plan. 

2.  Select the 'Accident/Incident Setup' setting and configure the nested settings.  In order to effectively use this feature, it is recommended that you go through each item in the order listed.

Accident/Incident Times -

These times are used to add notes and timestamp actions or milestones like Request & Patient Times.  AIP Times may be edited, deleted, restored, and ordered, as needed, using the standard editor.

Times that will be embedded within workflows must have unique save as names for each workflow and cannot be embedded in more than one.  To embed a time within a workflow, you will need to add a date/time form and the time stamps will be in the Save As Field. 

There are system names for:

1. ‘Accident Incident Event Started’ - Manually set timestamp that correlates to the time of the actual incident. When set, this time will start a counter in the upper margin of the AIP screen to display the duration of the event.

2. ‘Accident Incident Initiated’ - Automatically set time when a user selects the initial workflow.

3. ‘Accident Incident Escalated’ - Automatically set when the user escalates the event.

4. ‘Accident Incident Event Ended’ - Automatically set when the user ends the event.

5. ‘Accident Incident Closed’ - Automatically set when the user closes the event.  

Accident/Incident Plan Top Area

The top area is the top section of the AIP screen that should be used to display and record standard information that is useful across all types of events. It is setup using the standard Flight Vector form editor.

Other -> Time/Date

Other -> Timers

Text - This is where you customize what will appear in the notification bar when the timer reaches 0.

·         Please ensure that the content within the designated area is completely removed, leaving it blank. This will allow users the freedom to input any desired text upon clicking the timer button.

·         If you type something in there, then it is “hard-coded” and the users cannot edit it.

Save as - Must be unique.

System Name - NA

Title - What shows on the button the users click.

Duration - The time of the timer.

·         If you leave it at 0, the user gets to specify the time.

·         If you enter a number, it is “hard-coded” and that is the time of that timer button.

Examples of a “Hard-Coded” Timer Button and a Custom one and the pop ups for the user.

Accident/Incident (AIP) Workflows

Workflows will be displayed in the lower left section of the AIP screen. Workflows may be used to help guide the dispatchers, supervisors, safety managers, etc. through the event. They are setup using the standard Flight Vector form editor.

To start with creating the workflows, you will name it in the title box.  Examples:  Accident, Distress Call, Lost Communications, Precautionary Landing, etc. A variety of different fields may then be added.

Accident/Incident (AIP) Reason For Event End

Customizable list of reasons for the AIP to end (like Reasons for Close)

Now that the AIP's have been setup, additional items such as base contacts, paging, status boards, and triggers for the events may be configured.
