General Usage

Some functions work the same way in every module — attaching a document, searching, sharing, looking at a record's history. They are described here once, and the module chapters refer to this section instead of repeating them.

The functions

Function	What it covers
Attachments	Attaching documents to a record, opening, saving and removing them.
Search	Finding a record by name, number or full text — and what to check when nothing is found.
Refresh	Bringing the view up to date, and why this is not the same as fetching data from a vessel.
Printing, Exporting, Sharing Data	Printer, e-mail, PDF and Excel — and what ends up in the file.
Show History	What is recorded on a record, and why it cannot be edited.
Select my Ships	Preselecting the vessels you work with. Office only.
Action	Immediate, corrective and preventive actions, as free text or as tracked items.
Attach a Risk Assessment	Referencing an existing assessment — and why one you expect may not be offered.
Management of Change	Linking a Management of Change document to a record.
Position	Port, coordinates, or both.
Working with the calendar	Entering dates by typing or from the calendar, and the regional trap in 05/03.
Recognising field types	What the look of a field tells you about what it expects.
Comments · Reminder	Commenting on a record and being reminded about it.

Finding your way around the program

The Main Modules list on the left holds the sections; choosing one shows the available programs and documents under Modules. A module is started by double-clicking its icon — the same goes for the online help and for documents shown there.

Gadgets gives access to mini applications installed on the computer, and Reports to the favourite reports made available through ZeeBORN Fleet Management.

At first the menu shows only the modules available to every user of that PC. Login adds the ones enabled for you personally — so a module that seems to be missing is often a matter of not being logged in yet, rather than of a missing licence.
