FASET Setup Guide

To get to FASET, go to 1851software.com in your web browser. Once there, enter in your user name and password that you received from LION. After you are logged in, you will see a screen that looks like the one above. This is the Home Tab. Across the top of the screen, you will see a row of tabs. These tabs are where you will track all of the various types of personnel, gear, and equipment. The following tabs can tie the subject of the tab to both a STATION and an APPARATUS: Hose; Ladders; Rescue; SCBA; Small Equipment; Special Ops The following tabs can tie the subject of the tab to a NAME (an individual in the Personnel tab): PPE; Rescue; Special Ops

Before you can start entering and tracking data in FASET, you must first populate your drop down boxes with the gear that you are using. To do that, click on the Utilities drop down box, and select List Management.

C r e a t e d | 9/17/2012 R e v i s i o n | 2 P a g e | 4

Here, you will start to fill out the various drop down boxes that exist in FASET. On the left list, you will see all of the drop down boxes that are in FASET. The list is in alphabetical order with the tab name first. Select which tab drop down box you want to populate. On the right list, you will see the values that currently exist in the drop down box. For a new customer, most of these lists will be blank. LION will prepopulate the PPE tab information with LION information. To add a new item to your drop down list, click on the Add Button.

Here, you can add in the value you would like to see in the system. In the above screen, we are adding a new Apparatus Manufacturer to the system, so you would enter in the company that built your vehicle. Once that is in, click on the Save Button to have that entry added to the option list. If you have vehicles built by different companies, simply click the Add button again and repeat the process until all of those different manufacturers are added.

Because every department uses different equipment, and potentially names things differently, FASET was designed to be very customizable for the field values. As a result, filling out these drop down boxes will be one of the most time consuming part of the whole setup process. You can populate or edit your drop downs whenever you would like. However, you are unable to use them unless there is something in there. Important Note: The Hose Length and Hose Diameter drop down boxes must have 2 decimal places in the number, or else that information will not be properly kept in the system. (For example, the numbers must look like 1.50 or 2.00 instead of 1.5 and 2.) Once your fields are finished, you can start entering in data. To start, click on the Personnel Tab. NOTE: LION recommends that your Location entries match your Station IDs because they will be matched up in a future version of FASET.

This is where you will be able to add and track all of the Personnel in your department. To add a new person, click on the Add button.

C r e a t e d | 9/17/2012 R e v i s i o n | 2 P a g e | 8

On this screen, you can enter in as much, or as little, information about the firefighter as you would like. Once the information that you would like in the system is entered, click Save. Note: LION suggests that you enter in your Cleaning & Repair service provider as a Personnel entry to help better track PPE repair activity history. Once your Personnel Tab is finished, click on the Stations Tab. Note: Locations will be matched as Station IDs in a future version – please match them up now to save extra work later!

This tab is where you will list out the stations, or other buildings you would like to track, that are used. To add a new building, click Add.

C r e a t e d | 9/17/2012 R e v i s i o n | 2 P a g e | 10

On this screen, the ID is the name that will display in the other tabs. So, I suggest the ID being the name of the station that is recognized by everyone. At the bottom of this form, you can select a primary point of contact for that building if you would like. This contact person must exist in your Personnel Tab. Once this form is filled out, click Save. As we move through this startup guide, you will notice that many of the forms function the same way. This was done to help make this software easy to use and navigate. The next place that you should go to is the Apparatus Tab.

C r e a t e d | 9/17/2012 R e v i s i o n | 2 P a g e | 11

Here, you can track all of the vehicles that are used by the department. These can be the larger fire trucks, or the smaller cars or SUVs that may be used by the department. To add a new record, click Add.

C r e a t e d | 9/17/2012 R e v i s i o n | 2 P a g e | 12

Fill out the vehicle information, including when the vehicle went into service. Once that is finished click Save. NOTE: If your department uses an Apparatus (example Engine 4 or E-4 or E04) to designate a Station ID code, be sure that Engine 4 is set up as an Apparatus, too. Other Apparatus and various pieces of equipment would be tied to the Station code. After the Apparatus Tab is finished, click on the Hose Tab.

C r e a t e d | 9/17/2012 R e v i s i o n | 2 P a g e | 13

To add a new record, click Add.

On this screen, you are able to assign the hose to a Station and Apparatus. The Station drop down box will contain all of the Stations that you entered. The Apparatus drop down will contain all of the vehicles that you have entered. Fill out this form with all of the information that you would like to keep record of. Important Note: The Length and Diameter drop down boxes must have 2 decimal places in the number, or else that information will not be properly kept in the system. (For example, the numbers must look like 1.50 or 2.00 instead of 1.5 and 2.) Once the form is completed, click Save. The next place that you should fill out is the Ladders Tab. That tab is very similar to the Hose tab. Once your Ladders are entered, go to the PPE tab.

C r e a t e d | 9/17/2012 R e v i s i o n | 2 P a g e | 15

On the PPE Tab, you are able to track all of your gear, be it turnout, chem bio, or station wear. To add a new gear entry, click Add.

C r e a t e d | 9/17/2012 R e v i s i o n | 2 P a g e | 16

Fill out this form with all of the information that you are able to. The Name field will contain the list of all of the Personnel entries. The Type and Size fields are linked. Whenever you select a Type, the size field will change to display the sizes that match the type. So, you won't be able to select a boot size for a turnout coat. Once this is completed, click on the Save button. The Rescue, SCBA, Small Equipment, and Special Ops tabs are all very similar to the tabs that are shown in this guide. Enter in as much or as little information as you would like under each of those tabs. The idea behind FASET is that you can track what you want to track, with the ability to track everything in one system. So, if all you want to track is PPE, then just fill out that information. If you would like to track other tools and equipment, then the other tabs are there to help you do that. NOTE: In order to be compliant with the record-tracking requirements of NFPA 1851, PPE must be tracked by Manufacturer, Mfg Date, Model, serial#/barcode, and Firefighter Assigned during the (maximum 10-year) life of the garment, as well as condition on date of issue and at (annual) advanced clean/inspect/repair cycles. The retirement date and method of disposal must be tracked. Inspection results and repairs must be tracked for findings/cleaning tasks/repairs made and who performed those tasks. Proper set-up and tracking procedures in FASET will accomplish these tasks.
