PIP Emergency Roll Call - General Settings
The emergency roll call is a unique feature in Astrow to deal with emergencies. How it works:
1. Make sure you have a PIP Mobile and Roll Call license and add the permission Start Roll Call to all working protection responsible persons. They will start the roll call.
2. The activation of the roll call can be made either on Astrow Mobile or directly on the terminal. For activating the roll call on the ST-25 terminal, you must define a
roll call card in
Communication - Special Cards Manager - Add roll call.
3. Each employee must be assigned a company site. This is done in
Configuration - Employees - New employee - Company site. The definition is mandatory in the
Employees' definition.
Companies sites are physical locations (buildings) that will activate the corresponding terminals in case of an emergency. This will trigger an alert on all mobile applications and terminals linked to employees/users from a company site and will require their safety status. To define company sites; see further
Company Sites.
4. Users not linked to employees can be set a company site in Security - Users - New/Edit user - tab General.
The list of employees to be displayed when the roll call is started
If you are one of the responsible persons to start the roll call, meaning that you have the permission
Start Roll Call,
the list with the group of teams and guests that will be displayed when the roll call is started
is set by the parameter in View terminal employees in Roll Call in Settings - System - tab System config. This parameter takes into consideration the bookings/entries on the terminal as follows:
-
NO – displays in Roll Call only the employees from the company sites where the Roll Call was started regardless of the terminal;
-
Only employees that booked – includes in Roll Call the employees that booked on the terminal in the last 24 hours regardless of the company site;
-
All employees on the terminal – display in Roll Call all employees linked to the terminal as defined in the
General or the
Bio distribution tab in
Employees' definition.
Starting/Ending Roll Call settings and permissions
Only users with the permission Start Roll Call can start the roll call. However, the roll call can be ended by another person, if they have the permission End/Cancel Roll Call. The person who initiated the roll call does not need another permission to be able to cancel it.
If you are not responsible for starting the roll call, meaning that you don't have the permission to
Start Roll Call, but you are responsible for your team(s) in case of an emergency, you can choose to display the list of the persons to be shown considering the company site.
This is set by the parameter View all my employees when Roll Call is started in Settings - Preferences - tab User interface. If set on YES, the MSS will see all their employees from all company sites (as defined in teams); otherwise, they will see only those employees who are from the company sites where the roll call was started.
Starting Roll Call based on site
If the parameter
Start my Roll Call based on site(User) in Settings - Preferences - tab User interface is on YES, the users with the
Start Roll Call permission will start the roll call only on the site assigned in the employee/user's definition and will receive notifications only from the users assigned to the site or physically registered on the site that day (visitors or employees assigned on other sites with at least a booking on the site).
