Now supervisors or administrators can modify / update tour stop comments entered by security guards until the tour is completed. This will allow for on duty supervisors to easily update or review comments for accuracy entered by field personnel.
You respond to calls for service daily and sometimes you may be waiting on scene for a couple of hours waiting for that tow truck to arrive. In some cases it may be beneficial to clear the call and return later on.

Orna allows for dispatchers to generate calls for service and send responders. In some cases, such as new areas of land being built or mountain ranges, physical addresses may not exist. Using the map, you can generate a new call for service by right clicking and generating a call based on GPS coordinates.
Do you have service level agreements with your clients mandating task completions such as locking a gate or pool within a defined time period? Orna's Time Sensitive option for tasks is now generally available to help prevent employees from completing tour stops prior to the agreed time with your clients. Use case example - Security Company A signed a contract with a new client. The new client requires their pools to be unlocked at 5-5:30am every day. Security Company A creates a new tour, adds the pool as a stop location and enables a task to unlock that pool with a time sensitive period. The security guards are unable to complete the task until 5am. Should the security guard fail to complete the task in time, such as 5:38am in this example, he/she is now required in Orna to select an exception reason for why it was unlocked late.
Many issues that are encountered can be resolved by restarting your application, however, In the event that a restart does not solve your problem, clearing your cache will most likely resolve the issue.

Your dispatchers and field personnel can document starting and ending mileage when transporting prisoners, patients or anytime your policy requires it. Documenting mileage is done on a per responder basis, allowing companies to capture multiple mileage reports for the same call.
To capture mileage details, click the speedometer in the assigned table of the call. Enter your starting and ending mileage and click save. You can adjust this information at anytime before you close the call.
