Managing SCBA alerts

Stay on top of issues with your SCBA inventory.

Summary

SCBA alerts notify the appropriate personnel when issues or malfunctions are found during inspections. SCBA administrators can review and take action on these alerts, update the gear's status, and log necessary repairs. All activity is saved with the gear's history for future reference.

Instructions

SCBA users can post alerts during inspections to flag issues like equipment malfunction. Administrators can then manage the gear status, log repairs, and close alerts once the issue is resolved. All actions taken are recorded and accessible from the gear’s history.

Posting and Managing SCBA Alerts

  1. During an SCBA inspection, click the alert icon next to a task if you encounter an issue 

  2. Add a description of the issue.

  3. Add any attachments (e.g., photo, work order, receipt), and optionally notify personnel via email or text.

  4. Click Save to post the alert. It will now be visible to administrators and associated with the gear item.

Changing Gear Status

  1. Navigate to the alert and click More → Change Status.

  2. Set the gear to Out of Service and add any relevant notes.

  3. Click Save. The gear’s status will update in the gear list and history.

Logging Repairs

  1. After the gear is serviced, go to the gear list, click the dropdown next to Details, and select Log Event.

  2. Choose Repair from the event dropdown.

  3. Enter:

    • Date of repair

    • Repair cost (if applicable)

    • Notes, such as “Vendor repaired under warranty”

    • Any attachments (e.g., invoice or work order)

  4. Click Log Event.

Returning Gear to Service & Closing the Alert

  1. Navigate back to More → Change Status, and set the gear to In Service.

  2. To close the alert:

    • Click Add Comment or Edit Alert

    • Enter a final note (e.g., “Pack back in service”)

    • Optionally send a notification to alert recipients

  3. Click Save to close the alert.

All information related to the alert, repair, and status updates is stored with the gear and can be viewed in the gear's detail page.
