A Great System for Inport Watchbills for
Submariners
It's recognized that writing a watchbill for the officers and Chief Petty
Officers is generally a huge pain for the guy responsible for writing it.
The software developed by Berkut Systems radically improves the process,
making it possible to create a watchbill for any month of the year by simply
clicking a couple of "buttons".
Not only does this software enable you to write (and modify) a watchbill, it
incorporates a watch qualification feature which will prevent a user from ever
placing an unqualified watchstander into a position on the watchbill.
Another great feature of the software is that it allows a user to manage the
personnel on a daily basis, tracking who's on leave, who's at school, and anyone
else who might not be present for any reason. As personnel learn of days
they need off, regardless how far in the future, people are simply added as
exclusions for those days, and their names will never appear on the watchbill
for those days.
The system also keeps track of the total number of weekday duty days, and
weekend duty days a
person is scheduled for. It also allows a user to designate specific days as
"underway" days - days where there are no personnel assigned for those
watches.
The software is specifically designed for the officer or Duty Chief
watchbills - supporting (Officer) Ships Duty Officer and Engineering Duty
Officer and (Chief Petty Officer) the Ships Duty Chief and Engineering
Duty Petty Officer watchstations.
Please note that this software was originally developed for use in a DOS
environment, so although it's fully functional in Windows, users must have their
printers configured to capture data form a printer port to use the printing
function. This is a simple process and information is readily available for
those not familiar with how to do it.
