Signs
Signs are a huge part of risk management for resorts. Your initial sign import is a snap with EDGEauditor – simply walk your area with a smartphone or tablet, take a picture of the sign, categorize it based on your own labels, add any notes, and move on to the next one. What used to take a camera, a map, a clipboard and hours of time at your desk can now be done in minutes – and with far greater accuracy.
To add your resort's signage (e.g. Ski Area Boundary, Closed, Trail Maps/Difficulty, etc.), you will need to be logged into the EDGEauditor app on a mobile device with Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity.
Setup Sign Categories (Manager Dashboard)
From a desktop computer, login to the manager dashboard at resort.edgeauditor.com.
From the side navigation, click on Object Categories > Signs and then click on the New Sign Category button.
Name your category (e.g., Premises, Health & Safety, Trail Signage, etc.) and then click the Submit button.
Repeat steps #2 and #3 for each sign category you want to setup. Once your categories are in place you can use the app to take photos and geo locate each sign on your property.
Add Signage (App)
On a mobile phone or tablet, login to the EDGEauditor app and select the Objects module. Then select Add Objects > Signs.
Pause a few seconds to allow for satellite accuracy while you stand at the base of the sign.
To see previous signage, tap View Previous Signs in the top right-hand corner. If you have any previous signs they will show up as map markers that you can tap on to view and inspect directly from this screen. Otherwise, tap on Capture Current Location.
On the next screen this is where you will add a photo of your sign, give it a name and select the category it belongs to. You can add any comments as well (optional). Tap Save when finished.
When you have finished capturing your signs, you will need to go into Pending Local Reports to submit them. Submitted signs will be available on resort.edgeauditor.com by navigating to Objects > Signs.
Inspecting Signs & Objects
EDGEauditor allows resorts to inspect existing objects on their property. This includes signs, ski runs, trails, lifts and buildings. The complete inspection history for an object is available for review on the manager dashboard. Before you can inspect an object on the app, you’ll first need to setup your inspection conditions on the manager dashboard.
Setting Up Inspection Conditions (Dashboard)
From a desktop computer, login to the manager dashboard at resort.edgeauditor.com.
From the side navigation, click on Objects > Inspection Condition and then click on the New Inspection Condition button.
Name your inspection condition and then click the Create Inspection Condition button.
Repeat steps #2 and #3 for all the inspection conditions you wish to setup.
Once your inspection conditions are setup, you are now ready to use the app to complete inspections.
Inspect Objects (App)
On a mobile phone or tablet, login to the EDGEauditor app and select the Objects module. Then select Inspect An Existing Object.
From the category list of objects, choose the one you want to inspect.
If inspecting a sign, you will tap on the map pin to open up a preview of the sign and then tap the Inspect button to complete the inspection.
If inspecting any other object you will use the drop down to choose the specific ski run, lift, building or trail to be inspected.
Go through the inspection page, choosing the correct inspection condition, adding comments and image(s). You won’t be able to save the inspection until all these fields are completed.
When adding images, you must provide a corresponding title for the photo.
Once the inspection is completed, tap Save Inspection. You’ll receive a confirmation message indicating the inspection has been saved to Pending Local Reports. You can either go to the Pending Local Reports screen now to submit the inspection or proceed with inspecting another object.
Viewing Submitted Inspections (Dashboard)
From a desktop computer, login to the manager dashboard at resort.edgeauditor.com.
From the side navigation, click on Objects and then from the list select either Ski Runs, Trails, Lifts, Signs or Buildings to view inspections submitted for those objects.
Once you’ve selected your object, on the next screen that appears, click the Manage button under the Actions column and choose More Information.
The next screen will show a summary of the inspections performed for the entire history of that object. To view photos attached to the inspection, click on the “eye” icon underneath the Actions column.
Pending Local Reports (App)
All signs and inspections will be saved to Pending Local Reports, which can be accessed from the EDGEauditor app home screen. You will have the option to submit all signs/inspections by selecting the OBJECT NAME at the top of the list (circled in green below) or just pick and choose the ones you want to submit by selecting each one individually. You’ll then select the green submit button at the bottom of the screen to submit your signs/inspections.
