About this.

Here's how it works.

The front page is openly available on the web, but a user must log in to change their status.

Login info of member's surname and birthdate are pulled from the Brigades www.FireShed.com database.

Comments have been made that logging in on a phone might be time consuming, however by clicking "remember me" and logging in successfully it will pre-fill your surname and DOB in future. Add a shortcut to the page on your mobile device home screen and it will be quick to use. Obviously can also be used from a computer.

The login page updates the responders' status section every 5 seconds. If a person changes their status it will alter the text from added to updated (note arrow)

The blurred secrions are people's mobile numbers. On a tablet and a smartphone instead of the number being displayed it has a link "call" which will initiate a call to the number. Note the Unavailable member - see below.

When someone logs in they are presented with this to click their availability

• Clicking yes pops an option to nominate your ETA at the station. The default time can be set under the tools menu in FireShed

• Clicking LATER pops an option to nominate when you are available

• A member can also advise they are away, this changes the screen to

  

they can either click BACK or any use response to cancel the AWAY

• At lunch time and dinner time a reminder to eat is also displayed.
• After 1700hrs a reminder to bring a torch is displayed.
• Brigade Officers (also from FireShed) can change the status of any individual - this is to allow for someone who may not have a smart phone or be able to access the response system if they are driving.
• Brigade officers have an additional button at the bottom to clear everything after and incident.
