Managing Activity / Performance

The Activity / Performance Module was developed to capture and track employee performance both quantitatively and analytically. The module can also track activity via a written running log.

Note: Performance and Activity mean the same thing in this manual and we use the word interchangeably. We allow an agency to decide what to call this module.

Performance/Activity is administered from the admin tools menu. Settings => Admin Tools => Performance.

The Performance/Activity Module can be completely customized to the needs of your agency. There are over 15 variables that can be activated in this module. These include 6 numeric variables, 8 textual variables and 4 running log variables. The majority of these variables are setup by 911 Tech when the module is activated and can not be modified without assistance from 911 tech. There are three variables you can manage yourself; Variable 1, 2 & 3. These variables are commonly used to track Beat/Zone, Shift and Assignment.

Managing Multipliers

If your agency uses weighted performance/activity, then you will need to set the weighted multiplier for each performance/activity item you are tracking.

The screen shot below shows a typical set of multipliers for performance/activity.

Note: We have placed a warning on this page advising you not to manage multipliers without approval from 911 Tech. Managing multipliers should only be done if you completely understand the process and what you are changing. If you completely understand what you are doing, you may manage multipliers, however we recommend you contact 911 Tech for assistance with modifying an existing multiplier.

Adding Multipliers

To add a multiplier to a performance/activity item, click the Add Multiplier button. A modal window will open that looks like the screen shot below.

Select the performance/activity item you want to add the multiplier to and then enter a multiplication value in the form of a single digit number with a decimal place and a single digit tenth between 0.1 and 9.9. (e.g. 1.0)

To complete the process click the Create New Multiplier button
