First Time Dispatch Hierarchy Setup

To setup your first time dispatch hierarchy:

1. Log onto the GuardTek web portal as an Admin or Supervisor. 

2. Hover over the Settings module and click the Setup Dispatch Locations option. 

3. The first time you set up your dispatch hierarchy you will see a note in blue:

Please setup your Dispatch Hierarchy (tree) Structure.  The items below will be the structure of your hierarchy (tree) with each category (branch) representing a unique level that will allow you to organize dispatch locations as needed.  The default settings give you three levels: Client, City, Site.  If you keep these settings and save the form as-is, in the next screens you will be able to add specific Clients (Coca Cola, CBRE, etc.) Cities (San Diego, New York, Etc.), and Sites (1224 Prospect, 100 Montgomery, etc.).  You may rename the items below and/or add new categories before saving your final structure. 

4. You can change the hierarchy category names as desired.

You also have the option to add an additional category (typing a name and clicking the green plus icon) or to delete a category (clicking the green trashcan icon).

5. Once the hierarchy has been created or will be used with its default settings, click the green Save button at the bottom right hand corner of the page.
