Once the Roll Call has been created it displays automatically. The screen will show two sections. Those marked as Safe and those still Missing.

Missing or Safe

Only people who have swiped at a Muster Point will be marked as Safe. This list is updated automatically from the home site as more people swipe at a Muster Point.

People may also be removed from the Missing list and marked as Found by using this device. Note that this will not be reflected on the site database. Updates received from the site will continue to update Missing people as Safe.

There are two methods to mark people as Found.

Mark as Found - User List

By touching the Found button, the Missing section will be redisplayed with a small marker alongside each name.

As a person's name is touched the marker will include a green tick. To remove the tick, touch the marker.

When the operator has finished marking people as Found, touch the "Done" button. This will update the Missing and Safe/Found sections.

Mark as Found - Individual user

Select a user from the Roll Call by touching the name.

The user record will display. This can help to identify or contact a missing person.

Touching the Found button will mark the person as found and return to the Roll Call.

If a person has been marked as Found by mistake, select them from the Found list and touch the Missing button on their user record.

Loss of connection

If at any point the network connection is lost or the Net2 site server stops responding, a warning message will display but the app will continue to function based on the local data.

The app will monitor communications for a further 30 seconds to allow for a slow network connection. If the server comes back online, the app will recommence full communication.

The following functions cannot be used while there is no connection. - Create roll call
- Refresh roll call lists
- Selecting a home site

- Updating the local cache

The pass code must now always be entered to run this application.

A user has 3 attempts to get the pass code correct. After that, the app will display a warning message and then close.
