Major Events

The Major Events page allows you to assign currently active callouts to a Major Event for use in RoD.

RoD

Stands for Resources on Demand which is a third-party application from MacroSoft™ that provides web-enabled emergency resource management for utility companies. RoD manages resource requests, tracks personnel movements, and supports logistics during a large-scale restoration event.

 If you know the Event ID, you can search for the ID or you can simply locate the event in the list and add callouts to it. A callout can also be assign to a Major Event when creating the callout on the Callout Edit page. The Callout Edit page contains a Major Event attribute for this purpose. To assign individual employees who may or may not be currently working to a Major Event, use the Assign Major Event page in List Maintenance.

Callout Attributes -> Major Event

Major Event: Allows the assignment of the callout to a Major Event. Click the link and ARCOS initiates a call to RoD to check for active events. Once the dropdown list is populated, you can select the active Major Event to which you wish to assign this callout. You can also modify the value in this field on a callout after it is created and running. This is an optional feature and not all companies use it.
