Admin Manual – Guard Management

The Guard Management dashboard allows admins to manage every guard’s profile, specializations, certifications, and operational details from one centralized view. It helps you keep the right guards assigned, qualified, and compliant with PSIRA and site policies.

You can:

  • Add or edit guard details like department, schedule, and supervisor

Step-by-Step Instructions

This page lists all guards in your organization, their status (On Duty / Offline), and their specializations or last activity. From here, you can search for guards, open profiles, and manage their records.

Step 2 – Filter Guards by Role

Use the Role filter to narrow down the roster. You can view:

  • Guards – Active field staff

  • Admins – Office users with management access

  • Owners – Full-access company owners

Click the dropdown next to the search bar and select the role you want to display.

Step 3 – Filter Guards by Specialization

Step 6 – Manage Guard Skills & Certifications

Click Manage Skills in the guard’s profile to open the certifications window. This section lists all skills and certifications currently added to the guard. If empty, it will show “No skills or certifications added yet.”

Step 7 – Add a New Certification

Click Add New Certification to record a new qualification. Fill in:

  • Specialization Type (e.g., First Aid & CPR)
