Rolling out on 17/12/2020
Trackit Energy made some enhancements to the Admin, Personnel, Allocator and Resource Plan modules to improve user experience and add additional functionality.
Admin Menu – Company List
Qualifications and Roles can be added to Companies. To add a Role or Qualification to a company, find the company in the Company List and select Edit from the settings cog. Then select the Qualifications or Roles tab on the top left-hand side.
Only Qualifications and Roles setup as Company Qualifications and Roles in the Qualifications & Roles section of the Admin menu will be available for selection. Select the required Qualification or Role, complete the required fields and click on Save/Add
Admin Menu – Company Reports
Similar to Personnel, reports can be generated to view the status of Qualifications & Roles set against Companies. Select Company Reports from the Companies section in the Admin menu and select Qualifications. Complete the required fields and select either specific or all Qualification, or specific or all Roles and click on Generate Report
The report will show a list of all companies with either the Qualifications or Roles and if they are Valid or Missing. The report can also be exported to Excel by clicking on the Export to Excel button
Personnel – Merge Duplicate Profiles
Administrators now have the ability to merge duplicate profiles in the Personnel module. To merge a duplicate profile, select the person from the Personnel module and click on the Merge tab at the top of the page. A list of personnel with matching Passport/IC Number, matching first and last name and DOB, matching External Reference ID or matching Phone Number/email address will be displayed
Select the check box of the person/s to merge and click on the Merge Selected button.
Things to keep in mind:
1. Personnel selected from the list will be merged into the person’s profile the user is viewing.
2. The selected records will be deleted after the merge.
3. A person’s Qualifications, Roles and Leave will not be merged.
4. The merge cannot be undone
Allocator
To improve performance, a Reload Allocator button has been added to the Allocator page. This will allow the user to load the grid after all the required selections were made and prevent the page from refreshing after each selection. Once all the filters are set, click on the Reload Allocator button
Resource Plan
Changes were made to the Resource Plan to add additional functionality and prepare for future enhancements based on user feedback. Users now have the ability to indicate if the POB location is different from the work location.
Resource Plan – Plan
For New Personnel Requests, if the work location and the POB location is the same, the user only need to enter the Location. If the POB location is different from the work Location, select a location from the POB Location dropdown list. When a POB location is selected, the Arrival Location will default to the POB Location
If the return travel mode or locations are different from the arrival travel mode or locations, select the Different Return Travel checkbox and complete the field as required
Resource Plan – Activity
The Activity section layout has been updated for a better user experience. The Edit Activity Reference section is split into tabs.
General tab: Like New Personnel Requests, different POB locations can be specified for Activities. If an Activity requires a different POB location, select the Different POB Accommodation Location? checkbox and select the POB location from the POB Location dropdown list. Qualifications for Activities can be added by clicking in the Required Qualification field and selecting the qualifications from the list. Only qualifications flagged as Activity qualifications in the Qualifications area under the Admin menu will be available for selection
Requirements: A Description field was added to identify different requirements
The Activity Dates are displayed under the Requirement dates header. Like Personnel requests, when the user clicks on Create Dates, the user can indicate if the return travel mode and locations are different from the arrival travel mode and locations.
Resource Requests: All requests generated in the Requirements tab will be visible in this section
Qualifications: Qualifications for activities can be added in this tab. To add an activity qualification, select Add a Qualification and complete the required fields. Only qualifications flagged as Activity qualifications can be added
If an Activity requires a qualification and the qualification is not added in the Qualifications tab, the Activity will be highlighted in red in the Activity Reference screen to indicate missing qualifications
Resource Plan – Overview
The Activity ID can be displayed by adding the column to the grid. To add a column, click on Manage Columns and select the required columns from the list. Columns can also be reordered by dragging and dropping them in the required positions. To save the state of the grid for and instance, select Set As Instance Default. To save the state of the grid as a user default, select Set As User Default.
Resource Plan – Forecast
If the Work Location is different from the POB Location, resources will be visible in both locations. The POB Location will indicate the resources in the Bunks section of the grid and the Work Location will indicate the resources in the POS section of the grid
