General Settings and Info

Information on setting up and managing the important or key information and settings for the asset.

Settings:

The Asset name, your asset ID and the OffshoreSMS asset ID

These are fixed fields and can only be changed by OffshoreSMS technical support. This is for privacy and security reasons, and to allow us to accurately identify each asset in the system.

To change these details contact OffshoreSMS customer support. See In-app user guides and support tickets for how to do this.

Privacy settings

ENABLE ASSET PRIVACY:

Setting an asset to private means that potential crew members and other users (like contractors) will not be able to see it in searches to request access. Only crew members that are added to the vessel by an asset administrator will see the vessel in their app.

Admin Content Approval

This means that changes made to the asset's SMS content by Group Admins is saved as Draft, until approved by a Fleet admin.

This can be for the whole fleet in the Fleet Settings, by primary admins.

See Fleet administrator permissions and notifications for mor information.

Public Asset Profile

When someone scans the QR code for this vessel, you can choose which sections of your asset profile will be visible.

Crew can either show the QR code on their app (in the Menu) or display the code as a sticker somewhere on the asset.

Selecting the Visitor Check-in box allows someone who has scanned the code to complete a Visitor Check in from their device. This includes the option for them to check off the items of the asset's Safety Briefing, as well as name, contact details and a signature field.

Alert Settings

Admins can set the alert window for actions and schedules, equipment and dates here.

I.E. setting the alert window to 12 days for time based schedules will mean that whenever a date in the system is 12 day or less away, it will flag as DUE in the alerts list. These can be maintenance, equipment with expiry dates, or other import calendar dates.

Asset Key Information:

A good SMS will have all of these fields completed.
