What’s Changing?

Creation of a new 'Fire Report' which quickly displays all employees who, based on their forecasted shifts and T&A data, should be present at work/in the building when it is run.

Reason for the Change

To provide a quick and easy way to tell which employees should be present in the building in the event of an emergency. 

Applying the Setting

The functionality is set behind a user-level permission and can be assigned by an admin user.

• To assign the user-level permission, go to Settings > User Configuration > User Levels
• Select Edit against the required user level
• Enable the View Fire report permission
• Scroll down and Save

Fig.1 – User Level permission

Running the Report

Each user with this user-level permission will be able to see a new Fire Report button at the top of the screen.

This user will be able to generate the fire report for all Locations and Departments in this organisation according to their access.

• Select the Fire Report button

Fig.2 – 'Fire Report' button

A new page will display a report containing all the employees currently at work (where they have clocked in without clocking out) or that potentially should be at work (employees with forecasted shifts starting before the moment the report is generated and still not yet finished).

• On this page, select a Location

Fig.3 – Selecting a Location

If the Location is scheduled, you do not need to select a Department. The report will be generated for the whole Location.

Once the data is loaded, the report will be displayed.

• Use the Print button to print out the report if required.

Notes:

• The fire report can only be generated for the current day and time
• The fire report cannot be exported, though can be printed
• If the Organisation Setting Display preferred name and Display preferred name + last name are enabled, the employee names - first name/last name will be replaced by either Preferred name or Preferred name+last name
