Brigade Activities

Brigade Activities is a lightweight register for capturing member participation that falls outside formal events and training sessions. Use it to track things like committee meetings, peer support conversations, admin work, community safety activities, and site visits. These records feed directly into member activity reports and engagement scoring.

Logging Activities via the Station Portal

Members without a StationOne login can log their own activities through the brigade’s public attendance page. This is useful for members who attend meetings or do admin work but don’t have (or need) a full account.

How Members Access It

1. Open the brigade’s public page link (shared by your admin, or saved to your home screen)
2. On the attendance page, select “Log other activity” from the activity type options
3. Select your name from the member list
4. Fill in the activity details:
   • Activity Type — select the type that best fits
   • Title — brief description
   • Date — defaults to today
   • Duration — how long the activity took
   • Notes — optional
   • Private — tick if you’d prefer the details not appear in shared reports
5. Submit — the activity is saved instantly and appears in the admin register

Note

Members must be in the brigade’s member list to appear on the public page. If your name isn’t listed, contact your brigade admin.

How Activities Appear in Reports

Brigade activities feed into the Member Activity Reports (found under Reporting in the sidebar):

• Activity count — total number of logged activities per member in the selected date range
• Activity hours — total hours calculated from duration
• Engagement score — each activity contributes 1.5 points to a member’s engagement score
• Monthly trends — the per-member detail view shows a breakdown of brigade activities by month

Private activities are counted in all totals but their title and notes are not displayed to other members.

Activity Types

Built-in Types

Type	When to Use
Meeting	Committee meetings, officer meetings, AGMs
Peer Support	One-on-one support conversations, welfare checks
Admin Duties	Paperwork, data entry, correspondence, planning
Community Safety	Public education sessions, community events, school visits
Site Visit	Pre-plan visits, hazmat familiarisation, property inspections
Other	Anything that doesn’t fit the above categories

Custom Activity Types

Brigades can add their own activity types to suit local workflows — for example “Debrief”, “Fundraising”, or “Recruitment”. Custom types appear alongside the built-in types in all activity log forms, including the admin register, the public attendance page, and the kiosk.

To manage custom activity types:

1. Go to Brigade Settings (gear icon in the sidebar, or navigate to /brigade/settings)
2. Find the Brigade Activities module card
3. Under Custom Activity Types, type a name and click Add

You can edit or delete custom types from the same section. Deleting a type does not affect activities already logged with it — those records are preserved.
