Scheduling

Formal or informal crew scheduling ensures that you are aware in advance if there are enough personnel available to respond to an incident.

There are two methods for inputting your availability in the 'On Duty' section of IaR:

• Standard Shift
• Quick Shift

Both options are accessible through the IamResponding website and the IaR app.

Website

App You'll find the options in the left side menu of the app once you open it.

Standard Shift This shift type specifies a start and end time. Typically, a Standard Shift is scheduled before the designated start time. These shifts can be set to recur. You can include other members in this shift if multiple people are working the same timeframe.

Quick Shift Quick Shifts are dynamic; they begin when you start them and do not follow specific times like :00, :15, :30, :45 as Standard Shifts do. You can mark your availability or unavailability with an unspecified end time. This feature is particularly useful for very dynamic agencies but requires accurate maintenance to ensure the On Duty schedule remains correct.

Troubleshooting:

Editing/Deleting Shifts of Other Members

• Members with the necessary permissions can edit or delete shifts for others in the agency.
• This can be performed via the website or app.
• Under the section to add a Standard Shift, you'll find an option to select other members.
• Choose the member whose shift you wish to edit or delete and proceed as if changing your own shift.

Reporting:

Under Administrative functions, see the Reports heading to select the Schedule Report option to create and print a report.

If you find a star (*) on a report there was an error in storing the end date / end time of the shift, if you do not see a star (*) the shifts are complete.
