Self Assigning and Responding Multiple Times To The Same Call For Service

KST Staff • November 10, 2020

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.


Below we will show how to self assign to a call and how to assign yourself multiple times. This functionality and also be combined with call stacking to help avoid forgetting about the previous call.


Sign in to the mobile module

If your profile only has permissions to the mobile module you won't see this page.


Go to the in progress page and select a call

When you open the call you'll notice a dark orange button at the bottom left when you're not in edit mode. The button is labeled Self Assign. Press or click this button to assign yourself to the call. You'll notice you're now listed within the responders table.


Adding yourself back to the call after you've cleared

In some cases, such as waiting for a tow truck, you might need to clear the call and return to it later.  Add your cleared time (don't close the call) and you'll notice you can either self initiate another call or you can self assign again.


Self Assign To The Same Call For Service A Second Time

The below image is an example of being assigned to the same call a second time. This allows for responders and agencies to track each time a responder was assigned to the call.

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. In your search bar for windows 10 type settings and open your computer settings. Select Apps & Features if it's not already selected and scroll down to the Orna application. Once you've found the Orna app, select advanced options.

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.
