GHS Web Portal - Activity Types

Activity types define what users will be doing during an activity. They include pre-set activity details. An activity type must be selected when creating an activity. They are organized into categories and are specific to each organisation.

Creating Activity Types

Admins create and manage activity types.

  1. Log into the web portal.
  2. Open ‘Activity Types’.
  3. Select ‘New’.
  4. Select ‘Activity Type’

 

Activity Type Configuration

When an activity type is selected while creating an activity, the activity type settings will determine which fields, features and settings are available.

  • Check-in note prompt: Displayed in the ‘Note’ check-in text field.
  • Risk Assessment: Assign a Risk Assessment.
  • Requires Approval: If enabled, users must request the activity for approval.
  • Check-in note required: If enabled, users must check-in with a written note. The ‘OK’ check-in method will not be available.
  • Timer type: Set the timer type of the activity.
    • Countdown: The activity timer can be extended, not reset.
    • Recurring: The activity timer will reset when a user manually checks-in. It cannot be extended.
    • Time of day: A countdown timer is generated from when the activity is started to the set time of day.
  • Timer: Set the duration of the activity.
  • Lock timer settings: If enabled, users will be restricted from editing timer details.

Advanced Options

  • Available Fields: If a field is disabled, it will not be available when creating an activity.
  • Lock GPS Tracking Frequency: If enabled, the set GPS Tracking Frequency value will be locked for the duration of the activity.
  • Lock Motion Monitoring Settings: If enabled, Motion Monitoring will be enforced throughout the activity with the set warning and alert values.

 

Quick Start

Quick Start can be enabled from the Activity Types screen. A Quick Start can be assigned to both the mobile app and a GPS device—one for each. Once assigned, the app Quick Start will appear on the app's main screen. For GPS devices, sending the #start command will trigger the assigned Quick Start activity.

To assign Quick Start to an activity, click the Quick Start button at the top of the Activity Types screen.
Note: You can assign one Quick Start for the mobile app and one for a GPS device, each to a single Activity Type.

 

 


Check-Ins Config
"Check-Ins Config' is accessible by selecting the two cogs icon beside 'Quick Start'. Here admins can enable and disable check-in options available to app users, create custom check-ins and enable a Quick Check-In.
