title2023-12-21 Crisisworks final update for 2023, plus Support and support arrangements for Christmas/NY break

One final update from us for 2023. We all here at Datalink would like to wish you a safe, happy and uneventful festive season!

See below for details on our Christmas hours, a new release to help with impact assessment data and some clarification on the VPR advice from our previous newsletter.   

Holiday period support

The Datalink office will have reduced support from Monday 25 December and will reopen Monday 8 January 2024.  During this time, we will have someone on support during the non-public holidays, however we won’t be taking live calls, so please leave a voice message or email support@crisisworks.com and we will get back to you within one business day for high priority issues, please indicate the level of urgency in your message.

Priority support is available for Crisisworks customers via our 24/7 paging service. To access urgent assistance, phone +61 3 9521 4400 or 1300 328 254, press 1 for support and when prompted, press 2 to page the on-duty support technician who will return your call within the hour.

Crisisworks Assessments update [new]

We just released stage one of our new Assessment Register. This new register will allow you to import initial impact assessment data (eg FRV) into a separate register called Assessments under the Recovery Module rather than importing the data directly into your Recovery Cases. This will be a much cleaner approach and will give you a chance to review& clean the data and select the records that need a Secondary Impact Assessment and then copy them over to create Recovery Cases. This update will only impact you if you experience a large incident - but please always get in touch with us here at Datalink so we can assist with your IIA imports. For more information see the online documentation page

Correction…Vulnerable Persons Register

In our previous newsletter we talked about how Victoria Police access Crisisworks, we weren’t as clear as we could have been. To clarify, Victoria Police log directly to the VPR which gives them access to view all vulnerable people across the whole of Victoria.  Council’s should direct any access requests from Victoria Police to their REMI. If you are asked to provide a list of vulnerable people for police - DON’T, as this is an incomplete picture.

Security update affects Mobile users

Due to an increase in security requirements and changes to the cloud services, mobile users may get ‘The server returned an error’ message when they return to their device after 24 hours. To resolve, sign out and sign in again, just enter your council’s Crisisworks site name in the site address, eg darebin, to access http://darebin.crisisworks.com .
