Safety Forms User Guide

The Safety Form feature allows users to document details related to a suspicion of a leak or interruption of service call.  Once documented, the record can be tracked to completion or resolution of the reported issue.

Each form can be tracked by status.  

  • In Process — All required fields have been entered and the form is waiting for actions to resolve the issue reported.  When finished, this form status can be updated.
  • Complete — All actions to resolve the issue have been completed.
  • Voided — The form was not completed and has been removed from the list of forms that are pending.  
    Example: A duplicate entry.  

Permissions

There are 4 unique roles to allow providing the correct permissions based on job responsibilities.  Each permission is singular and does not include the permissions granted by other roles.

  • View — Enables access to the Safety Form grid and input window. Does not allow for creating, modifying or voiding.
  • Create — Includes viewing access and the ability to create new safety forms as well as the quick access button in the tool bar.
  • Modify — Includes viewing access and the ability to modify existing records with a status of pending forms (Incomplete or In Process).  This does not provide access to create safety forms.
  • Void — Includes viewing access and the ability to change the status of pending forms (Incomplete or In Process) to a status of Voided.  This does not provide access to create safety forms.

Filling in a New Safety Form

Safety forms can be started and completed in the same session or if needed, started and completed later if the caller needs to collect information or move to a safe location.

From an open form:

  1. Select the Entry Method.  This is for reporting purposes and is a required field.
  2. Enter the Caller’s Name.  This may be different than the name on the customer record.  This field will hold 256 alpha characters and is a required field.
  3. Enter a good call back number in the Caller’s Phone Number field. This is a required field.
    Note: If the caller is not an Energy Force customer or it is unknown if the caller is a customer, check the Box for No Customer / Unknown Customer.  This will bypass the fields on the form for required Energy Force customer information.
  4. Read the acknowledgement statement to the caller.  When accepted by the caller, click the required Acknowledgement check box.  This will display the questionnaire. 
  5. Use the look up function to enter the Division Number, Customer Number, and Tank ID RRN. Data about this customer and tank will be displayed.  Review this data if needed for actions that may need to be taken to resolve the safety issue for this call.
    1. Indicates if the customer has any contracts.
    2. Number of Interruption of Service forms the customer has reported.
    3. Current data from the tank record.  This data will be preserved with the record at the time it is saved.
    4. Enter the current Gauge Read as reported by the customer.
  6. Complete the Questionnaire by asking the caller each question.  All questions are required to save the form with a status of In Process.
  7. Add any information relevant to this call in the Additional Notes text box.  This field will hold 500 alphanumeric characters.
  8. Select Submit.
  9. If all required fields have been entered, the form will close and the status will automatically be updated to In Process shown in the Safety Form Selection List. If one or more required fields are not populated an error message will display to populate those fields.
    Note: If the Safety Form was opened using the quick access tool bar icon, the Safety Form Selection list will not be displayed and will be returned to the previous screen.
