In this video, I will demonstrate how to use the OB Book to manage site and device entries efficiently. We’ll explore creating OB entries for sites or devices, viewing shift-specific entries, and understanding how these entries are shared with management. Stay tuned for a detailed walkthrough of the dropdown selection, stack notifications, and shift-specific entry visibility.
Step 1: Access the OB Book
- Log in to the system with your credentials.
- Navigate to the OB Book section of the platform.
Step 2: Understand OB Entries
- OB Entries can be created for:
- A site (general entry for the location).
- A device on a site (specific entry linked to a device).
- OB entries can also be generated from alerts.
Step 3: Create an OB Entry for a Site
- Open the dropdown menu.
- Select the site where you want to create the entry.
- Leave the device field as Selected Device to indicate that the entry is for the site as a whole.
Step 4: Create an OB Entry for a Device
- Open the dropdown menu.
- Choose the site where the device is located.
- Select the specific device from the dropdown list.
Step 5: View OB Entries for Your Shift
- Shift-specific OB entries (e.g., from 6 AM to 6 PM) are displayed on the right-hand side.
- To view an entry:
- Hover over the Show button next to the entry.
- Details will display, including:
- Controller who created the entry.
- The site and device associated with the entry (if applicable).
Step 6: Locate OB Entries in the Stack
- OB entries appear in the stack as messages from the OB Book.
- Note: These entries will not appear as alert messages.
Step 7: Management Preferences
- OB entries can be sent directly to management or supervisors based on their notification preferences.
