Create A New Call For Service From The Map

KST Staff • November 9, 2020

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.

Step 3 - Right click on the map and click Add New Call Card

Once you're on the map page, maneuver the map to where the incident is located. Once you've identified the location, right click and select Add New Call Card. A new call will be generated using the GPS coordinates from where you right clicked.

Step 4 - Add details to your call for service

Creating Time Sensitive Tasks

By KST Staff • October 26, 2020
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.
