Procedure
Form your calendar:
  1. Remove the white box - If there is a white box on the day you are setting up the trade, remove the box by clicking it and then hitting remove (add image). If there is not a white box proceed to step 2.
  2. Add STNW - Click the day and choose add. Choose STNW from the dropdown.
  3. Add Cover - Chose your cover from the dropdown.
  4. Enter Notes - (Follow Policy 03-05 and 03-05a) Notes must be entered in both notes fields. Include your name with the intended cover as well as alternates. "CPT. Davis working for CPT. Meyer. Alt 1 is Jepperson, Alt 2 is Hancuff." Save the trade.

Known issues
  1. The way that SLCFD uses telestaff, the tracking of who owes who is easily corrupted. For that reason do not rely on telestaff for an accurate accounting of paybacks. Shift trades are arranged and tracked by members as an agreement between parties. SLCFD Admin is not responsible for tracking or ensuring payback. 
  2. Critical Cover Specialties Do Not Match - If you are blocked from adding your STNW due to this warning please reach out to your BC or the telestaff group to resolve it. We can force the trade. This is an issue that is not resolvable at this time and is a result of the specialties not matching exactly (including the "Yes but not in assignment" checkbox.
