User Guide

Dashboard

Welcome to EllisDocs! Prior to the start of operational use, you will need to set up the account for your organization and users in the dashboard at portal.ellisdocs.com.

The Client Admin can perform several tasks in the dashboard, such as:

Editing in the Dashboard

There are four options for viewing and making edits in the dashboard; view, edit, delete, and assign. These options can be executed by using the following icons:
 

VIEW – Select this icon to view details.

EDIT – Select this icon to edit details.

DELETE – Select this option to delete details.

ASSIGN – Select this option to assign users.

Departments

IMPORTANT: It is mandatory to assign users to a department. Departments should be set up prior to adding user profiles.

Departments refer to the division of each area of work such as aquatics, maintenance, park services etc. Client Admins can create departments to assign to users.

To create a new department, click on the Add Department nav item under users. Add the department name, set the status (active/inactive) and click the Add button. The department will now be seen in the list of available departments.

Roles

Roles refer to the permissions given to the employees, such as lifeguards, managers, etc. The roles list will show all the active roles that have been created in the dashboard. It will not show the inactive roles. If a role is not in use, it can be made inactive. The Client Admin can enable or disable module and operational permissions to specify the level of access and abilities granted to each role within the app.

Adding Roles

Custom roles are created and assigned to users by clicking on the Add Role nav item. Enter the following into the Add Role section and then click on the Add button:

  1. Role Title 
  2. Status: Active or Inactive
  3. Facility
  4. Module permissions: Enable/Disable
  5. Operation permissions: Enable/Disable

Users

The Client Admin can add users (employees, contractors, lifeguards, etc.) to the organization through the dashboard.

Adding New Users

IMPORTANT! Departments and Roles should be set up first, followed by the individual user accounts.

A user is the individual who operates the app. Each user has unique permissions within the app that are determined by the Client Admin. Client Admins can create individual user profiles and assign roles and departments.

The number of available users is based on the package chosen for your facility. To view the number of available users and whether they have active or inactive roles, click on Users in the left-hand navigation.

Create Report Template

Client Admins with Gold and Enterprise subscription packages have the ability to create custom report templates. To begin, name the template, choose the template report type (standard, incident, inventory, VAT), select the facility, and set the status (active/inactive).

The following form fields are available for drag-and-drop:

Once the form is built, click on the Save Template button. The form may also be downloaded as a  PDF.

Standard Report Template

The standard report template is designed for various topics, including staff attendance, supplemental oxygen, emergency situations, water quality, and rescue reports, among others. Whenever a standard report template is generated, it becomes part of the database for future use. These templates are straightforward and can be reused multiple times.

Assigning and Scheduling Standard Reports

To allocate a standard report, simply click the Assign button adjacent to the report’s name. You can designate the report to the Facility, User, or Role. Opting for Facility or Role will notify all users associated with the facility or possessing the specified role type through the mobile app. Alternatively, if User is chosen, you can assign the report directly to a specific user.

There are several options for scheduling reports: one-time, daily, weekly, monthly, and always.

Before scheduling, it’s essential to designate the priority level, ranging from standard, low, alert, to emergency. Assigning an emergency priority indicates the urgent nature of the task, while standard or low priorities imply less immediate attention. The alert option signifies a need for vigilance and careful consideration of the task at hand.

Customizing Standard Reports

In the Client Admin portal, standardized reports can be edited and saved as a new report template. To edit a standardized report, simply click on the Edit button next to the report you want to modify. Then, drag and drop items you wish to include in the template and remove any unnecessary ones. Remember to rename the template for easy identification as a new report. Finally, click on “Save as a New Template” located at the bottom of the report.

Customizing the Lifeguard In-Service Attendance Report

The default lifeguard In-Service template is a report template that can be used to document your ongoing lifeguard training. This template is designed to document 30 lifeguard participants, and the activity completed in that training. Simply click the edit button beside the Lifeguard In-Service Attendance Report, then drag and drop the Input Field into the template. Choose “text” as the Type and specify the number along with “Lifeguard Name” as the Label.




Incident Report Template

The incident report serves the purpose of documenting incidents occurring within and around aquatic facilities. The structure and mechanisms of the incident report are akin to those of the standard report template.

VAT Report Template

Disclaimer:  The VAT (Vigilance Awareness Training) report is a standardized report intended for use only by Ellis & Associates clients who utilize the International Lifeguard Training Program.  It requires understanding of the entire VAT process to utilize correctly and should not be used by non-E&A clients.

The VAT template is utilized for initial training sessions, while subsequent training templates are employed for follow-up sessions if trainees fail to meet targets. These templates include essential trainee and training details, focusing heavily on pass rates and remediation efforts.

The Client Admin is responsible for assigning both initial and follow-up training sessions. Assigned training sessions are reflected in the track training section, accessible to both the admin and trainees via mobile devices. Upon successful completion, the admin marks the report as passed; otherwise, it enters a remediation process.

In the event of a failure, the report is labeled as “initial drill failed,” and the track training section reflects this outcome. Trainees who fail receive additional training tailored to their specific shortcomings, along with a deadline for completion. These new assignments are promptly updated in the track training section for easy monitoring.     

Remediation

The follow up alert on Initial Drill is automatically generated and assigned to the facility, but it can also be designated to an individual responsible for the remediation training. Upon completion of the in-service training, it is linked to the task. Once the assignee marks the task as finished, it triggers an ALERT signifying the completion of the failed VAT and in-service training, consequently generating a new report and alert. The remediation In-Service training must be documented and linked to the failed VAT report. A new VAT report is automatically generated, connected to the original failed VAT and subsequent In-Service training remediation. An ALERT is also triggered. The report is initially assigned to a facility but can be reassigned to an individual if necessary.

Track Assigned Reports

In this section, you can view all assigned reports listed along with their title, assignee, creator, scheduled time, and available actions. When previewing a report, users can verify its submission status, whether it’s pending or completed. Upon completion, there’s an option to submit the report. Additionally, users have the ability to download a PDF version of the report.

Inventory Management Template

The inventory management template can be used to track the quantity and condition of items being used at the facility, such as life jackets, first aid kits, etc.

Payments/Account/Billing

This section is where you can find your current subscription package and billing statements. When a subscription package is renewed, the status is changed to “Upgrade,” and the package details, including the package amount and duration, are displayed.

Subscription Packages

You can access your current subscription package by clicking on “My Subscription” in the navigation menu on the left. Permissions linked to the subscription level will be automatically activated for the selected package.

Modify Subscription

To adjust or update your subscription package, navigate to “Modify Subscription” in the left-hand menu. Here, you’ll find a dropdown menu containing available package options along with their associated costs.

Email & Notifications

Users Live Location

The Client Admin can view a list of Users and their locations within the facility. The User must have tracking permissions turned on in their mobile device settings.

Tools

Pool Calculator

The dashboard utilizes third-party software for pool calculations, facilitating seamless conversion between pounds and gallons. The software comprises essential components including fields, readings, ideals, selections, and outputs. Designed for users tasked with determining the necessary chemicals for pool maintenance, it offers preset ideal quantities as a reference point. Users can then adjust their pool’s requirements to align with these ideal ranges. Given the dynamic nature of chemical compositions in pools, precision and adaptability are paramount in this domain.

Documents

The documents feature empowers the Client Admin to effortlessly upload and securely store various file formats, including .txt, .pdf, .csv, Excel, .doc, and .docx. It’s also the go-to place for accessing the latest versions of the EllisDocs User Guides.
