Please Note: To use this feature, you must have at least one appliance registered within the BART system. 

Overview

The Crew Builder feature in BART provides a way to assign attending members of the group to an appliance or vehicle. Members attending an incident can be assigned as soon as they select 'attend', which may be prior to their arrival at local headquarters (LHQ). 

 

Watch: Understanding the Crew Builder

 

Positions

Once a member has been assigned to an appliance, they can be assigned as the:

  • Crew Leader

  • Driver

Reports

When an incident has been completed, an incident report is automatically generated and emailed through to authorised users. When used correctly, an operational appliance offers a range of additional information that is automatically recorded:

  • Members who were assigned to that appliance

  • Members who were assigned as 'Crew Leader' or 'Driver'

  • Key response times (leaving LHQ, arrival at the incident etc.)

The “Advise Full Crews” message notification tone only goes to the people who have tapped thumbs up and the other button to that particular incident. Crew members who haven’t indicated a response won’t receive the notification tone but will be able to see the message.

 

You will notice that tick boxes appear next to each of your members. Tap on the members that you would like to assign to an appliance and ensure that they are ticked

 

Then tap on the appliance that you would like to assign your members to, and you will notice that your members are now sitting below your chosen appliance.

 

To remove members from an appliance, tap on the tick next to their name and they will be removed
