3.5 Signing Off – Patrol Status

*Note: Users will receive a Push Notification to remind them to sign off their patrol, via the Operations app, 30 minutes prior to the end of their rostered patrol. If you wish to keep your beach open and patrol for longer, simply continue to use the ‘Update’ button in the Status tab, then ‘Sign Off’ when ready.

1. Sign Off can only be done 1 hour prior to the end of the patrol. A reminder to sign off will pop-up 30 minutes prior to the end of patrol.

2. A ‘sign off checklist’ is provided to indicate to the user that they have updated the required roster and statistic data as required.

3. When a user selects the ‘Sign off’ button it asks, ‘are you sure you want to sign off?’ if they select yes then this is updated in Surfcom and the application displays a confirmation page and the sign off time. All data is marked as ‘submitted’ and can be viewed but no longer edited.

4. The Patrol Log is created in Surfguard containing the member’s roster information and statistics. At this time an email confirmation is sent to the Patrol Captain/Vice Captain (or other positions as designated by each state centre) containing a link to the PDF version of the Patrol log, this enables the Patrol Captain/Vice Captain to check that all the data entered into the log is correct. If the data is not correct the Patrol Captain will be required to contact the Club Administrator.
