Purpose Statement

The Daily View within Events & Activities provides personnel with a centralized snapshot of all scheduled operational activities for a selected date. This feature ensures enhanced situational awareness, operational readiness, and streamlined planning across all divisions of the department.

Background Information

The Daily View offers a consolidated interface where users can review, filter, and manage daily activities such as training, inspections, maintenance tasks, events, and additional operational workflows.
Common uses include:

• Reviewing daily assignments before shift changes

• Identifying scheduled events across modules

• Printing the daily operational plan for crews

• Creating or modifying events directly from the daily interface

Prerequisites:

• Users must have access to Events & Activities

• Modules displayed within the Daily View must be enabled for the department

• Templates should be configured if users wish to add events via “Add From Template"

Required Permissions

To access and manage the Daily View, users must have permissions associated with:

• Events & Activities: View — to access Daily Operations and view scheduled items

• Events & Activities: Create/Edit — to add or modify events

• Module-Specific Permissions — to open events within related modules (Training, Inspections, Maintenance, etc.)

• Print Access — permitted through general platform access; no unique permission required

(If needed, permissions can be adjusted in Administration → User Management → Roles & Permissions.)

Best Practices

• Use Templates for Efficiency: Build event templates for commonly repeated activities to streamline daily planning.

• Filter Strategically: Avoid selecting all modules at once if you only need certain ones—this improves clarity and reduces screen clutter.

• Print at Shift Start: Many departments print at the beginning of each shift for briefing purposes.

• Verify Permissions: If events don’t appear, the user may lack permission to view that module.

• Refresh Daily View: After making updates in a module (Training, Inspections, etc.), refresh to ensure the view reflects the most current data.

Troubleshooting & FAQs

Why don’t I see any events in the Daily View?
Check module filters, permissions, and confirm events are scheduled for the selected date.

Why can’t I open an event from the Daily View?
Module-specific view permissions may be missing. Contact an administrator to adjust your role.

My printed report is missing modules. Why?
Ensure all desired modules were checked before printing.

Is Daily View real-time?
Yes—any updates made within related modules instantly reflect in Daily View once refreshed.

Can I customize which modules appear every time?
