Home is the first page you see when you open a department. It brings your day-to-day tools together: shouts, your shift buttons, your activity quota, pinned resources, actions and who's on duty right now. Department Home page with the shouts column on the left and the profile, shifts and CAD Activity cards on the right *** ## 🧭 Quick Navigation Post announcements and sync them with Discord. See every member, their rank and their details. Manage activity waves, shifts and quotas. Choose which buttons appear on Home. *** ## Getting Around Department header with the department switcher, the Open CAD button and the tab bar ### Tabs The tabs under the department name take you to each area. You only see the tabs your rank has permission to use (see [Who Can Access What](/Department/Introduction#who-can-access-what)). On mobile, find them in the site menu instead. ### Switching Departments Click the department name in the header to see every department you belong to. Pick one to jump to the same page in that department. ### Open CAD The **Open CAD** button opens this department's [Melonly CAD](/CAD/Intro/introduction) panel in a new tab. It shows when the server has CAD enabled, the department type has a CAD panel and you have access to that panel. ### Deactivated Departments If a department's subscription lapses or a server administrator deactivates it, its pages are locked and its actions and Discord shout sync stop. See [Plans & Billing](/Department/plans) to reactivate it. *** ## Your Profile and Shifts Right column with the profile card, My Activity quota bar, Start Shift button, on-duty card and CAD Activity card Your profile card shows your status (on shift, on break or off duty) and when you joined. Open its **⋮** menu to view your past shifts and stats, or to manage your [leave of absence](/Department/loa). **My Activity** shows your time on shift this activity wave. If there's an hour requirement, a progress bar shows how close you are. Break time doesn't count. Your quota comes from the department or your rank (see [Activity Waves](/Department/activity/waves#hour-requirements-and-inactivity)). ### Starting and Ending Shifts | Status | Buttons | | - | - | | Off duty | Start Shift | | On shift | Start Break, End Shift | | On break | End Break, End Shift | If the department uses [shift types](/Department/activity/shifts#shift-types), you pick one when starting. Types you don't have the rank or role for are greyed out. When you end a shift, the shift report form opens if your shift type has one. Your on-shift Discord role, nickname prefix and shift logs update too, if they're set up in [Discord Integration](/Department/settings/discord). You can't start a shift if the Max On Shift limit is reached, or if you're on leave and the department doesn't allow shifts during leave. You can also start shifts from Melonly CAD, or automatically when you join an ER:LC team. *** ## Actions If the department has [Actions](/Department/settings#actions), click **Actions** under your shift buttons to open **Run & View Actions**. * Click an action to run it. If it has a form, you fill that in first. * Actions limited to certain ranks or roles are greyed out if you don't have them. * Below the actions is the history of past runs. Filter it by member or action, or view each run's form response. * Deleting a run needs the Delete Actions permission. The **Recent Actions** card on Home shows the latest runs. Click **See All** to open the full history. *** ## Pinned Buttons Pinned buttons are shortcuts to the links and resources your department uses most. Administrators set them up in [General Settings → Pinned Buttons](/Department/settings/general#pinned-buttons). | Type | What happens when you click it | | - | - | | Link | Opens the website in a new tab | | Melonly Form | Opens the form in a popup so you can fill it in | | Melonly Document | Opens the document in a popup | | Melonly Action | Runs the action | Links to sites other than Melonly, Roblox, Discord and GitHub ask you to confirm before leaving. Hold `Ctrl` (or `⌘`) while clicking a form or document to open it in a new tab instead. *** ## Who's On Duty The on-duty card lists every member currently on shift or on break, and how long ago they started. Click a member to see their rank, Discord details, activity this wave and a link to them on the [Roster](/Department/roster). Members with Activity Manager can end someone's shift or break from this popover, as long as that member ranks below them. *** ## CAD Activity If the server has Melonly CAD enabled, the **CAD Activity** card shows recent events from this department's CAD panel. * Joining or leaving the panel * 911 calls submitted * Civilian characters selected * Panic button presses * Status changes, such as available or enroute * Calls created or closed *** Still have questions?
