Your yachts, their systems, and the maintenance, work records, and manuals around those systems are organized clearly in Quartermaster. As owner or captain you can create an account based on your email address or Facebook identity, add yachts to your fleet, connect your crew to give them access to your yachts, create tasks, mark them completed, and upload documentation and maintenance records like notes or photos. As professional captain, you can also keep your owners up to date with the work records on their yacht. Create your Quartermaster account and get started with the steps below.
The first time you sign into your account, you are prompted to pick the type of
your yacht: Sail, Powerboat or Tender, its name, manufacturer and
model.
Now let's complete more details: click on "Yachts" in the top menu to
navigate to the list of yachts.
Click on "Change" in the Photo column to pick a profile photo: make sure you pick
a photo that you can easily recognize so that you can easily toggle between your vessels
through the top left drop-down later.
Check the type, name, manufacturer and model to ensure they are accurate and make
any changes by clicking on the "Edit" button all the way to the right of your Yacht's
info:
Any additional information about your yacht, like the hull number or Coastguard or
State Documentation numbers can be added as a custom system on your Dashboard, as below.
Then click on the gear button to configure
your dashboard(s). Here you can edit your current dashboard image that will be used as a
template for your dashboard. This can be your yacht's schematic or a simpler image that
can be used as a canvas to view your systems.
You can also create multiple levels for your dashboard, one for each level of your
yacht by clicking on the add button
at the top of the page to add a new dashboard level.
To add people or 'crew' to your yacht, click on the crew list button to navigate to the Crew page where you can
add other users who will be able to
access your account.
Click on "Dashboard" on your top level menu to navigate to your main Dashboard
page. If you have multiple yachts in your account, make sure the right one is selected
in the top left drop-down. Click on the gear
button to start adding and editing systems. You might already have some systems that
were automatically added to your dashboard as pre-configured examples, or systems that
you or your
captain have already added.
You can drag and drop systems by holding a click on the orange bubble and dragging
the mouse to the position desired. When finished, click on the save button.
Another way to add or edit systems is to click on "Systems" on your top level menu and use the add button to add systems to your yacht. Once you added your systems, you can use the Action buttons in the right column of the list to add log entries , create new schedules for maintenance items, add files as well as edit details and remove your systems.
Once you have added your systems, it is important to capture the desired schedule of
maintenance so that we can remind you and your crew of upcoming work. We will
automatically create tasks as the due date gets closer. You can create recurring or
one-time schedules.
Click on the bell button to navigate to
your list of schedules, then click on the add button to add each work schedule.
You can also create historical logs for your work from the Systems list to
have past and future entries available on any device going forward.
