Mileage Reporting and Documentation
Your dispatchers and patrols can document starting and ending mileage when transporting prisoners, patients or anytime your policy requires it. Documenting mileage is done on a per responder basis, allowing companies to capture multiple mileage reports for the same call. This will be beneficial for those who have a standard policy when transporting someone that might present a liability issue, contract requirements or simply for billing purposes.
To capture mileage details, click the speedometer in the assigned table of the call. Enter your starting and ending mileage and click save. You can adjust this information at anytime before you close the call.
Generate Mileage Reports
Generating a mileage report is easy and can be done from the activity report page. Only closed calls will display on the report.
- Select your date range - Date ranges cannot be more than 60 days
- Select your clients - If you need to generate a mileage report for the entire company, don't apply a filter
- Download - Download your mileage report by clicking on Download Mileage
Mileage Report - Excel File
When you download your mileage report, you'll be presented with an excel file. This file will display data from the filters applied on the activity report page.
- Event ID - The event ID is the call card ID that was automatically generated
- Nature Of Call - This is the type of incident your responders were dispatched to
- Client - This is the client selected on the call
- Sites - If any sites were selected, they'll show up in this column
- Call Date/Time - This is the call created date/time
- Officer Name - Responding officer in the assigned table associated with the mileage
- Primary/Backup - Identifying if the responder was primary or a backup unit on a call
Mileages are auto calculated so you can spend less time adding in formulas for calculations.
Once again, we have been busy at Kerkton Security Technologies working on new features and updates to improve Orna. We are excited to announce the release of the Panic Button , which is our biggest new feature since the April update. Mobile module now has a "Panic" button at the top left that automatically creates a call with a "Panic" NOC when pressed. All available dispatchers in the Dispatch module will be alerted. The Panic Button will blink for the officer until the officer is cleared. From Dispatch module, dispatchers can press the Panic Button to view current panic calls. If there is only one panic call, the dispatcher will be automatically forwarded to the panic call.
