Today

Today is the SafetyBrik home, at /safety: what a site owes today, and one tap to do each thing. It is the page SafetyBrik opens on, and the one setup finishes on (Go to Today). The safety score, alerts, feature cards and recent activity are on the Overview.

Choosing a site​

Today shows one site at a time. With several sites, choose one in the site tabs at the top. With none chosen, it opens on your first open site. The site is kept in the page address (/safety?location=...), so a reload, a bookmark or the browser's Back keeps it.

In a business with several sites, All sites shows a card for each open site with its verdict and group counts, each on its own date and clock. Tap a card to open that site's day; Back returns to All sites.

Every time on Today is the site's time, whatever time zone your device is in. The page refreshes every five minutes while it is open, so checks done on the Team App or the kiosk show up without reloading.

The verdict​

At the top, one line says how the day is going:

  • Compliant today - everything due today is done, follow-ups included.
  • On track: 5 of 9 done - nothing is late. A checklist that is ready to sign off keeps the day at On track until someone signs it off. Follow-ups still to do today add to the line, for example "On track: 5 of 9 done · 2 follow-ups to do", and keep the day at On track until they are closed. With nothing else counting today, it reads "On track: 1 follow-up to do".
  • Behind: 2 overdue · 1 needs an action - something due today is past its time, or a reading taken today is out of range with no corrective action yet. Unactioned readings from earlier days are still listed under Needs an action, but don't make today Behind. A follow-up past its date makes the day Behind too, whichever day it was due: "Behind: 1 follow-up past its date".
  • Closed today - the site is closed today, with the reason if one was given, and "No checks are due today."
  • Nothing set up for today - the site has no checklists, temperature checks or cleaning tasks yet. Set up checklists opens Checklists. Follow-ups don't change this, unless one is past its date, which makes the day Behind.
  • Switched off - a site that has been switched off has nothing due. Its records stay on the Overview and in Records.

Under it is a line for each group with anything due today, for example "Checklists: 2 of 3 done · 1 ready to sign off · 1 overdue" or "Temperatures: 3 of 6 done", with follow-ups last, for example "Follow-ups: 1 of 3 done · 1 past its date". Temperatures count each reading due, so a fridge with an Opening and a Closing check counts twice (see Today's checks).

The sections​

The page then lists Checklists, Temperatures, Cleaning, Diary, Needs an action and Follow-ups. A section's badge counts what's left, for example "3 to do". Each row shows its state on the right, for example Done, Ready to sign off, Due by 12:00, Overdue since 12:00, Later today or Needs an action. A started checklist shows how far it has got ("6 of 14 answered"), and a unit with several checks lists them ("Opening: Done · Closing: Due by 17:00").

What counts today: daily checklists, today's reading checks, daily and every-shift cleaning tasks, and the diary on a day with checklists. A weekly or monthly checklist counts from its Due by day to the end of its week or month, on the last open day of its week or month, or on the day it is done. A weekly or monthly cleaning task counts on the last open day of its week or month. Until then they sit under Later this week or Later this month in their section: you can do them early, but they never hold today up.

One tap per row​

  • A checklist opens it, ready to fill in. One not made yet today is made as you tap. Once every required item is answered, with any Not done reason and corrective action in, the row reads Ready to sign off, with Sign off: tap it to open the checklist and sign it off. After you sign off you come back to Today, and the checklist's back button reads Back to Today. See Completing checklists.
  • A unit opens Log reading in a dialog: the temperature, When (on the site's clock), Notes, and Check via SwitchBot for a unit with a sensor. An out-of-range reading asks what you did about it before it saves, as it does on the reading board.
  • A cleaning task opens its sign-off panel over Today, with Mark done, so you never leave the page. See Signing off cleaning.
  • The diary opens the site's diary for today.
  • Needs an action lists the site's out-of-range readings from the last 7 days that have no corrective action, each with Add action, the same list as on the board (see Readings that need an action).

Viewers see Today read-only: a checklist opens its page (or, once done, its record), a unit opens its readings on the board, a cleaning task opens without Mark done, and Needs an action has no Add action. A site that has been switched off is read-only for everyone.

Follow-ups​

The Follow-ups section, under Needs an action, lists the site's open follow-ups and those closed today, so the re-check of a warm fridge sits with the rest of the day. It shows only when there is at least one. Its badge counts what's left, for example "2 to do", and All follow-ups opens the Follow-ups page for the same site.

The follow-ups are grouped, in this order:

  • Past its date - open ones whose time has gone, the oldest first. They show in red, and make the day Behind. A re-check due at 14:30 today is past its date from 14:30.
  • Due today - open ones due later today on the site's clock, the soonest first. They keep the day at On track until they are closed.
  • Later - open ones due on a later day, by date. They are listed so you can see what's coming, but don't count today.
  • Closed today - ones closed today on the site's clock, in the order they were closed. They count as done.

Each row is the same as on the Follow-ups page: its state, when it is due, what needs doing, where it came from and who it is for, stacked as a card at phone width. Voided follow-ups never show here.

Closing from Today​

Close follow-up opens the same dialog as on the Follow-ups page (see Closing a follow-up), and Change moves it or gives it to someone else. After you save, Today reads again, so the row moves to Closed today and the verdict catches up. While a re-check you can change is listed, the section carries the line "A re-check keeps its wording and needs a time. Added by mistake? Close it and say so."

The buttons show for owners, admins and members. Viewers see the rows without them, and at a site that has been switched off the follow-ups are read only. On a day the site is closed, its follow-ups are still listed and can still be closed, as Needs an action is.

Business-wide follow-ups​

In a business with more than one open site, a follow-up set to All sites is listed under every site's Today, with its site shown on the row, but never counts towards any site's verdict or counts, as All-sites units don't. One due today sits under Later, and one past its date sits with the others past their date, in red, without making the day Behind. Close it at any site and it closes everywhere. In a business with one site, every follow-up counts.

On All sites, each card's verdict and counts include the follow-ups that count at that site.

Set-up warnings​

Above the sections, Today flags what stops the day being counted properly, as the board does (see Set-up warnings):

  • Units with no safe range - their readings aren't judged. Set range opens the unit's form.
  • Units that need a site - in a business with several sites, a fridge, freezer, display or hot hold set to All sites isn't checked at any site. Choose its site opens its form.
  • Checklist temperature items not linked to a unit - each checklist is listed, and opens in the checklist builder.
  • Cleaning tasks with no site - in a business with no sites: "Cleaning tasks are signed off at a site. Add your site in Settings to sign off 3 cleaning tasks here."

Set range and Choose its site need edit permission.

Closed days and switched-off sites​

On a day the site is closed, Today shows Closed today and the closed-today panel, with Undo for owners and admins when the closure covers only today. Mark closed today is on the Overview and the Checklists page. See Closed days.

If every site has been switched off, Today says "Your sites are switched off" and "Nothing is due today. Switch a site back on in Settings to see its day here."

Other alerts​

Overdue checklists, readings that need an action and follow-ups past their date are rows on Today. For everything else the Overview's Needs attention list covers (training, reviews, COSHH and so on), a link such as "3 other alerts" opens the Overview. On All sites, the "follow-ups past their date" alert stays in that count, because the site cards don't list business-wide follow-ups. If the alerts can't be checked, the link doesn't show, rather than saying there are none.

If it can't be loaded​

While Today loads it shows a placeholder. If it can't be loaded it says "We couldn't load today's checks." with Try again, and never a verdict, a zero or an all-clear. If a refresh fails, the day stays on screen with "We couldn't refresh today's checks, so this may be out of date." and Try again.
