Setup Safety Report Tabs
Air Maestro allows you to create custom tabs to capture the required information for each safety report type. Tabs can be unique to each safety report type (e.g. Mechanical Fault tab) or common to all reports (e.g. Report Details tab).
Setting up Safety Report Custom Fields
Air Maestro allows you to create custom safety reports to capture the safety events relevant to your organisation. Before you can commence setting up custom tabs and fields for each safety report type, you must ensure the report type (Fatigue, Environment, Flight etc) is created. Refer to Setup safety report types in this guide for instructions on creating a new report type.

For example, for the ‘Drop Down List’ control type, you must specify if the field is required, the list items and if the field is always displayed. For the ‘Text’ control type, you must specify if the field is required, if a multi-line text box is required, the dimensions of the multi-line text box (if applicable) and if the field is always displayed).The Display Options field allows you to specify when the field must be displayed. The default is ‘Always’, but if you click the ‘Always’ text a dialog box is displayed which allows you to set the view rules for the field. For example, if you had a field for ‘Delays’ you may wish to display a ‘Description’ text box only when the ‘Delays’ field is selected.
