My Account

If not already done in the base data, each staff member can enter or change his or her personal information here. This information is only visible to authorised employees and is relevant for quick arrangements. In addition to the classic personal data, other data can also be entered in this area - depending on access rights.

My profile

The typical personal data is entered here (name, address, telephone number, contact details, etc.). Depending on access rights, you can add further fields under Administration > Personal > Additional information. Optionally, a profile picture can also be stored here.

Documents

Here the administrator can upload any kind of documents or files. In order for them to be visible to the respective CrewBrain user, they must first be approved.

Under Administration > Staff > Document category, the documents can be divided into categories for a better overview.

Certificates

Upload your certificates here. Certificates are crucial for many jobs. With the correct designation, they can be taken into account even better when selecting jobs.  

Each certificate must first be checked or approved by the administrator.

Categories can also be specified for certificates: Administration > Staff > Certificates

Emergency contacts

Enter the contact details of persons who are to be notified in the case of an emergency. The emergency contacts can only be viewed by authorised persons. If these persons are not schedulers, the access will be logged and you will be notified by e-mail. This prevents misuse and unauthorised retrieval of the data.

Time-Off

Registered periods

Here you can enter your holiday periods. In case of enquiries during the relevant period, it will then automatically be apparent that you are not available. Depending on the settings, holidays are approved automatically or must be approved by a scheduler. By clicking on "Add further time-off", you can create another holiday period. Depending on the settings, this must first be approved.

Periods as vacation replacement for others

If it has been specified under Administration > Time-off & Absence > General that employees must define a deputy for their holiday periods, you can enter these deputy periods here.

Holiday calendar subscription

If you already manage your holidays in a private calendar (e.g. iCal, Google Calendar, etc.) and can share it via the Internet, you can subscribe to this calendar here. For each day on which an appointment is found in the subscribed calendar, a day-off is automatically entered in CrewBrain or a time-off request is created.

Here, too, you have the option of subdividing the calendar into categories.

Driver's log

Here you can view your logbook with all the journeys you have made. As an administrator, you can edit them afterwards. See here how to create journeys.

Equipment

Here you can see all the work equipment provided by your employer. By entering various information or uploading documents or photos, the respective work equipment can be clearly identified. In addition, a regular check can be estimated. The respective employee is requested to have this check carried out. The result can also be recorded in CrewBrain.

Favorite filters

Here you can share your filter favourites with other users, user groups, departments or simply with all other users of the system.

Password

Change password

Here you can and should change your password regularly to avoid unauthorised access to CrewBrain. Please follow the instructions for secure passwords. Under Administration > System > Security, the guidelines for passwords can be precisely defined.

By creating a personal PIN and your personnel number, you can record your working hours at http://yourdomain.crewbrain.com/clock without having to log in to CrewBrain.

Work safety

Every accident or incident that has an impact on the health of an employee must be documented according to DGUV regulation (§24 para. 6 regulation 1). This could also become mandatory for Covid-19 tests in the future. CrewBrain offers electronic processing of this information so that it can be stored in the system directly by the employee.

First-aid book

The First Aid Book must first be activated under Administration > Work safety > First Aid Book.

Once activated, each staff member has a new menu item under "My Account" in both the WebApp and the Desktop view, which they can use to record incidents.

Record incidents

Go to My Account > First Aid Book and click on "Add further entry". There, the information required in accordance with DGUV regulations on the course of events, illnesses or injuries and first aid measures can be entered for each incident. Incidents can be recorded for the currently logged-in user as well as for third parties.

Automatic notification

For each incident recorded in the electronic first-aid book, the administrators are notified by e-mail. For reasons of data protection, these notifications only contain the name of the person who wrote the entry. The entire entry can be accessed via a link in the e-mail or under Administration > Work safety > First Aid Book.

Data protection

Since the entries in the electronic first-aid book are strictly speaking health data, data protection according to DSGVO must be strictly observed and maintained. The entries are therefore deleted by default after 5 years and can only be retrieved by the employee concerned, the person making the entry and users with access to the administration.
