Check-in

Check-in is how you tell your company, in one tap, whether you are safe. It opens when an incident is open. Your latest check-in is your current status, and you can change it at any time.

Who may do it: every employee, for themselves. A team head can record a check-in for a member after reaching them — see Team room and call tree.

One check-inStaff open BCP Core from the push, choose Safe, Affected or Need help, optionally add location (opt-in), a note and a photo, and send. The system stamps the time and the latest check-in is the current status. Team and line see the status only; the team head, HR and the BCP head see the detail. Every check-in is kept in the incident timeline. Sending again changes it at any time.SENDCHANGE ANY TIME: SEND AGAINStaff memberopens from the pushChoose statusSafe · Affected · Need helpOptionallocation (opt-in)note · photoCurrent statustime-stampedlatest one countsIncident timelineevery check-in, timedexported at closeTeam · line executivestatus onlyTeam head · HR · BCP headstatus with detailLEGENDUserStepOptionalSystem recordRecord
Choose a status, add location, a note or a photo if you want, and send. The latest check-in is your current status; every one is kept in the incident timeline.

Check in

Section titled “Check in”
  1. Open BCP Core — from the notification, or from the home-screen icon.
  2. Tap Check-in.
  3. Choose one status:
    • Safe — you are safe;
    • Affected — you are safe but affected, for example water near your home or no way to travel;
    • Need help — you need help now.
  4. If you want, add:
    • Location — share where you are for this check-in. It is off unless you turn it on, and it is asked for each check-in;
    • Note — a short message, for example a phone number you can be reached on now;
    • Photo — for example the water level at your door.
  5. Tap Send. The time is recorded and your status is updated at once.

Change a check-in

Section titled “Change a check-in”

Send a new check-in whenever your situation changes — for example from Affected to Need help, or back to Safe. The newest one becomes your current status. Earlier check-ins are kept in the incident’s timeline; they are not overwritten.

The BCP head or operator may start a new round when everyone should report again, for example each morning of a long incident. A new round asks you to check in again; your earlier answers stay in the timeline.

What the system does or refuses

Section titled “What the system does or refuses”
  • Only when an incident is open. Check-in opens at Standby or Activated and stops when the incident is Closed.
  • Your own account only. Check-in is tied to your signed-in account; nobody can check in under your e-mail.
  • Location is opt-in. No location is recorded unless you turn it on for that check-in.
  • Kept, then deleted. Check-ins are kept for the period your company sets, then deleted. Deleting a check-in before then is an act of HR, or of an activated operator, and needs an authenticator code — see Roles and permissions.
