Functionality description
The functionality works only if you are using Rotation Planning together with the Crew Change. Meaning that the “match sea-service dates with crew change itineraries” option is on for all the vessels.
In the Rotation Planning Module it is possible to add additional confirmation step before the person is added to the Crew Change itinerary.
When the functionality is activated there will be two additional boxes shown on the shift: first one for confirming the sign on, the second one for confirming the sign off.
If the box is empty (green color), this means that the sign on/ off hasn’t been confirmed.
If the box is filled in with C letter (blue color), it means that the sign on/ off has been confirmed.
The confirmation is performed through the Confirm button in the Ribbon Menu. Two options are available: Confirm Sign ON, Confirm Sign OFF
The same buttons are used to un-confirm the record in case you did it by mistake. You just need to click the button once again.
Be careful and do not confuse this functionality with regular Sign On/ Off in Rotation.
Global Options
The confirm flags (C) function is enabled by default.
To disabled this functionality go to the Global Options > Rotation Planning and turn ON the option called “Add person to crew changes without using Confirm flags”.
Adding persons with confirm flags
If Add persons to crew changes without using confirm flags option is OFF under Global Options -> Rotation Planning, then the procedure will be as follows:
Step 1
To confirm the sign off/ on you need to select the shift and click Confirm > Confirm Sign On / Confirm Sign Off command.
The person will be added to the linked crew changes: either as the On-Signer or Off-Signer.
When the person is added to the crew change itinerary the system would give the following information messages.
When a user adds records with dates less than today (from rotation to crew change), the state of crew change record will be set to confirmed.
Step 2
Click Apply/ Activate button > the system will create crew change records and add confirmation signs on the shift.
As the next step, from Crew Change, the user can then confirm a crew member when he really signed on/off.
Please, note: if you move the sign off or sign on Date of a confirmed shift, the system will:
remove confirmation flag
remove the person from the original crew change;
link the shift to the new crew change.
The user then needs to re-confirm the sign on / sign off dates.
Add persons without using confirm flags
If Add persons to crew changes without using confirm flags option is ON under Global Options -> Rotation Planning:
Each person is added to crew change automatically without necessity to confirm sign on/off.
No confirmation flags added.The same for changing shift dates;
Persons are automatically added to crew changes when performing Update Multiple Shifts > Change Start / End Date operation, too.For changing shift dates with option Move subsequent shift as well.
All shifts that are moved are automatically snapped to corresponding crew changes & confirmed according to changes.
