    Operations and Patrols hubs

    7.1 Incidents (Incident Reports)

    Where: Operations > Incidents · Plan: Core or Complete · Feature: Incidents enabled

    Guards file incidents from the app with photos, a vehicle diagram, signature and custom form fields. Managers can also create one here.

    • Filter by severity (Critical, High, Medium, Low), status (Open, Investigating, Resolved, Closed), site and form.
    • Open an incident to read the narrative, view photos and attachments, see the reporting guard and location, and add follow-up notes.
    • The writing coach suggests clearer, more objective wording for the narrative.
    • An incident moves through four statuses: Open (as filed) → Investigating (someone is looking into it) → Resolved → Closed (filed away). The buttons at the bottom of the incident dialog offer the next steps for its current status: Mark investigating or Resolve while it is open; Back to open or Resolve while investigating; Close or Reopen once resolved; Reopen once closed. Reopening clears the resolved-at stamp. The dashboard's Open Incidents tile counts open and investigating incidents only.
    • Resolve (also on each row) records who resolved it and when, and can optionally email a summary to the site's contacts flagged Receive Incident Reports. On-call contacts can do the same from the app's On-Call tab. Ask AI can make the same status changes by name (section 9.5).

    7.2 Log Entries

    Where: Operations > Log Entries · Plan: Core or Complete

    The company-wide view of the site logbooks guards keep in the app (visitor logs, maintenance notes, handovers, security checks). Filter by site, type, guard and date range; open an entry to read it in full. Managers can also write one from here: Create Log Entry, pick the Site and Guard / Employee, an entry type and a description, then Create Entry.

    7.3 Custom Forms/Poll Submissions

    Where: Operations > Custom Forms/Poll Submissions · Plan: Core or Complete · Feature: Custom Forms enabled

    Every response to the forms and polls you publish (section 14.4 and 14.5).

    • Filter by form, site, guard and date.
    • Open a submission to see every field, photos and the location it was submitted from.
    • Select submissions and Export Selected to CSV, or Delete them.
    • Managers can create a submission on a guard's behalf: Create Submission opens Create Custom Form/Poll Submission — pick the Form/Poll, who it is Submitted By and optionally the site, answer the fields, then Create Submission.

    7.4 Patrols

    Where: Patrols > Patrols · Plan: Core or Complete · Feature: Patrols enabled

    Each patrol a guard runs in the app — free-form or along a route — appears here with its checkpoints, timestamps, GPS trail, notes and photos.

    • Filter by site, route, guard, status (Completed, In Progress, Abandoned) and date.
    • Open a patrol to see the scan timeline, missed checkpoints and flagged issues.
    • Export Excel downloads the filtered list for a client report.

    7.5 Patrol Routes

    Where: Patrols > Patrol Routes · Plan: Core or Complete · Roles: Admin · Feature: Patrols enabled

    A route is an ordered list of scan points a guard must visit.

    1. Click Add Route, enter the Route Name, choose the site and optionally an Expected Duration (minutes).
    2. Use Add Scan Point to add checkpoints in the order they are walked; drag a row to reorder it, type the expected minutes from patrol start next to it, or use its X to take it off the route.
    3. Optionally Add Form on a checkpoint (for example a door-check form); it is required before the patrol can be completed.
    4. Optionally pick Required certifications: the route is then only offered to guards who hold one of them.
    5. Click Create. Guards pick the route from the Patrol tab in the app.

    Edit on a route's row reopens the same form (Update saves it); Delete removes the route after a confirmation. Deleting a route keeps its scan points.

    7.6 Scan Points

    Where: Patrols > Scan Points · Plan: Core or Complete · Roles: Admin · Feature: Scan Points enabled

    Scan points are the physical QR codes or NFC tags guards scan at each checkpoint.

    • Add Scan Point: name, site, location description and optional GPS position, then Create. The tag code is generated for you and is unique across the platform; Edit and Delete are on each row.
    • Open a scan point to view or print its QR code.
    • Select several and click Export QR Sheet to print a PDF of labels for the whole site.
    • NFC tags are programmed from the mobile app: an on-call contact uses Import Scan Points in the app to link a tag to a scan point.
