Configuration of Distribution List

Overview

POB Planners in Helipass have been downloading and printing the POB report, Muster Point report, and Abandon Station (Lifeboat) report individually. After all the reports have been printing with the right amount of copies, those packets are distributed throughout the platform for all on board to reference in the event of an emergency. While Helipass did offer a "Print Workbook" option that would provide the user a downloadable zip file of all the files marked to be included during download, it was not robust enough to allow the user to build out their own desired export.

The Worksite page has received additional features to now allow POB Planners to configure specific distribution list. These distribution list can be configured in the Asset Configuration modal and are made up of POB reports, Muster Points, and Abandon Station reports. Once a distribution list is made, it will appear as an available PDF file that can be included when the "Print Workbook" is downloaded.

This user guide will walk you through how to configure multiple distribution list for your location and how to include the PDF's versions of these distribution list in the workbook zip file.

The Workbook zip file can act as a method of version control for the reports distributed throughout the facility as they all would have been generated by the same data set at the exact same time. In the event your location loses internet connection, having the zip file downloaded to your computer can act as a system backup for viewing/reprinting your reports during that time.

Configuring Distribution Lists

The first step that needs to be taken to create a distribution list is to configure it within the Asset Configuration modal located at the top right of your worksite page. Once the modal is opened, click on the Distribution Lists tab to create and edit the distribution lists.

Under the Distribution Lists tab, you can create new lists by hitting the "+ New" button.

When creating a new distribution list, you will want to give it an appropriate name. This name will appear as the file name when the distribution list is exported later during day to day operations.

After naming the distribution list, you can then enter any specific order of muster points, abandon stations, and POB you would like. You can follow these same steps to create as many distribution list configurations that make sense for your locations needs.

While you are making the list, you can change the order of the specific exports via the arrows on the right. There is also the capability to insert a different export in between others already in the workflow. The last trashcan icon will also allow the removal of an export if desired.

After the list is configured for your needs, an optional note can be added before hitting "Save". This will bring you back to the Distribution Lists view with any created list displayed.

You can mark a distribution list as inactive by toggling the list off. If edits need to be made, the pencil icon can be selected to make the changes to the existing distribution list.

Access to view and edit distribution list for a Worksite location requires specific permissions. Please discuss with your companies Helipass focal point if you believe the permission is missing for your account.

All Active Distribution List will be selected to be included in the Print Workbook download by default. If you do not wish to see a distribution list appear in the Print Workbook download any longer, come into the Asset Configuration modal and make it as inactive.

Downloading and Printing

Distribution list that have been created will now appear as optional reports that can be included in the "Print Workbook" modal for a Worksite location. By default, all active distribution list will be checked to be included. Any changes you make to the checked list will be applied when the file is generated and downloaded.

Selecting the "Print Workbook" option will popup the Print Workbook modal. Here you can build out the different files to be included like POB report with specific fields applied, individual Abandon Station or Muster Point reports, Occupancy report, multiple Arrival and Departure list options, as well as which Distribution List you wish.

Only reports that are checked to be included will appear in the download. If a distribution list report is checked or unchecked incorrectly by default, go to the Asset Configuration modal to toggle that list is active or inactive.

When the Workbook export is configured to your liking, select the "Download Reports" button at the bottom of the window. This will trigger the generation of the selected reports which will be downloaded in a single zip file to your browser.

Please allow the page a little extra time to load when downloading the Workbook. The zip file that is being generated can become larger depending on the amount of reports being included.

Do note that the POB Reports generated within a distribution list PDF file will be displayed in the portrait orientation.

If the POB report needs to be downloaded and printed in landscape orientation, you can exclude the POB report types from your distribution list and print the desired number of copies directly from the POB PDF generated in the zip file (the 1 in the image above indicates the landscaped version of the POB PDF).
