To view, edit, or create damage assessment information for an event:
1. Select an event from the Event List in the Work Agenda.
2. Select Damage Assessment... from the Actions menu. Event Details will open with the Damage Assessments tab in focus. Any existing damage assessments will be displayed in the table.
Using the Event Log Tab
The Event Log tab displays a table with all actions taken for the event. To display the Event Log for a particular event, select a row in the Work Agenda list and select Event Log... from the Actions menu.
The table displays the following information:
The Date/Time field displays the date/time of the log entry.
The User field displays the user that initiated the action.
The Event field displays the identifier of the original event for which the log entry was generated. Note that, due to grouping activities, the original event may no longer exist.
The Text field displays a description of the log entry.
The Event Log may be exported using the Event Details File menu’s Export Table... option, which is visible on the Event Log and certain other tabs having table data that can be exported.
Using the Steps Tab
The Steps tab displays the switching steps that have been recorded and linked to the event. These steps will continue to be displayed in the event's Steps tab up until you create an Emergency switching sheet for the event. When an Emergency switching sheet is created, the steps will be moved to that sheet.
When this Steps tab is first selected for an event, any steps linked to that event will be pulled from the Miscellaneous Log to this Steps list.
If any crews are listed in the Steps tab's Crews List, then those crews will be automatically filled into those steps' Instructed To field. You can update these assignments later if that is desirable.
Steps can be cut/copied from other sheets and pasted into this Steps list; steps can be cut/copied form this Steps list and pasted into other sheets as well. Steps cannot be cut/copied from one event's Steps list and pasted into another event's Steps list. For pasting of steps to work, the source tool or sheet has to be loaded. To work around this limitation, the steps can be sent to the Miscellaneous Log and then later cut and pasted into a different event's Steps list.
