# 4.1 Logging On / Off Shifts and Vehicles
**Logging On / Off Shifts and Vehicles**
#### **Logging On/Off Unit**
There are multiple methods to Log On/Off units in CAD.
One method is to go to the Functions Menu \>Log On/Off Units \> Logon Units. The keyboard shortcut is F2.
Once clicked it will navigate a Dispatcher to the Log On the screen where they can enter Unit details.
It will automatically fetch the Date and Time. The dispatcher will then need to add other fields to Log On unit and then hit Save when done.
Shift – This dropdown shows different Shifts for Dispatcher to choose from.
Site – Dispatchers can select a site if they are logging units to a specific site.
Common Name – Once the dispatcher selects a site, it will filter the common name according to the selected site. If the site is not selected, then it will show all common names.
Street – On selection of a common name, street name and street number will be added automatically, it will depend on how Geo File is set up.
Unit – A dispatcher can select the Unit they want to Log On to.
Officers – This will be auto-filled as per unit selection.
Keys – Keys if the dispatcher has.
Radio – Radio if there is any.
Beat – Beat is a small area of the site. A Dispatcher can select if there are any.
Vehicle – Vehicle Information if Dispatcher needs to Log on Unit with Vehicle.
Previous Ending Mileage – On selection of a vehicle, it will automatically add the Previous Ending Mileage of the Vehicle.
Starting Mileage – This can be changed, by default it takes the same as the previous ending mileage, but Dispatcher can change it if there are any changes.
Next – If Dispatcher wants to Log on to more than one Unit, he can hit Next, and it will open a blank area to add details for another Unit.
After logging in single or multiple Units, a Dispatcher should hit the Save button.
A Red X against unit details can be used to remove a unit if incorrectly added.
After saving entries, the dispatcher can see logged-on units under Available Units.
**Log Off Units**
To Log Off Units navigate to Functions\>Log On/Off Units \>Log Off Units or the Dispatcher can hit F3 on the keyboard.
As the dispatcher selects a unit it will automatically fetch other details. The dispatcher needs to add Vehicle Ending Mileage if the vehicle is attached to the Unit. When Logging Off Units a Dispatcher can select one or multiple units at a time. If logging off multiple units select Next and add more units. Click Save when done. The Units will no longer display in the Available Unit List.
#### **Logging On/Off Vehicles**
To assign an Officer a vehicle, go to Functions\>Log On/Off Units. There are multiple methods for logging vehicles on or off.
Within this menu, a Dispatcher can log on vehicles and assign them to logged on Officers.
To view details of Logged On Vehicles select Reference \> Logged On Vehicles.
**Log Off Vehicles**
To Log Off multiple vehicles at a time go to Functions \> Log On/Off Vehicles \> Log Off Vehicles.
