How to use and configure Active Duty Graphs

Active Duty Graphs provide a visual overview of a personnel's accumulated active duty hours against a configured limit.

They help users understand how close they are to reaching their threshold within a rolling time window, supporting better shift planning and compliance monitoring.

How Active Duty Graphs work

Active Duty Graphs display accumulated duty hours against a predefined limit (shown as a red threshold line).

 The graph works on a rolling time window:

• As shifts are completed, they appear on the graph and contribute to the total active duty hours.

• Each shift remains counted for the duration of the configured hourly interval.

• Once a shift falls outside that interval, it automatically drops off the graph, reducing the total active duty hours.

This rolling calculation allows users to see their real-time position in relation to their active duty limit.

Active Duty Graphs are visual tools only. They do not trigger alerts or prevent users from exceeding thresholds.

How to configure Active Duty Graphs

Active Duty Graphs are configured within the Work Practice Setup page.

Required access: Modify All to Work Practice Setup.

1. Go to Site Setup > Work Practice Setup.
    

2. In the Work Practice Graphs section, select + Add Work Practice Graph
   
   

3. Configure the required parameters.
    

   Work Practice	Select the Work Practice the graph will apply to. Only shifts governed by this Work Practice will be included in the calculation.
   Active Duty Limit (hours)	Defines the maximum permitted hours within the configured interval. This appears as the red threshold line on the graph. Example: Setting 14 hours means users should not exceed 14 active duty hours within the selected interval
   Hourly Interval	Defines the rolling time window for calculations. This determines how long completed shifts remain visible and counted. Example: 14-hour limit over 48 hours 13-hour limit over 72 hours Once a shift exceeds the interval duration, it automatically drops off the graph.

4. Press Save 

Creating Multiple Graphs

Administrators can create multiple Active Duty Graphs for the same Work Practice.

This allows organisations to monitor:

• Different regulatory requirements

• Internal fatigue management policies

• Multiple compliance thresholds simultaneously

Each graph will display independently to the user.

How to access and read your own Active Duty Graph

Once Active Duty Graphs have been configured, users can access their personal graphs via:

My Profile > My Active Duty Graph


 

This option is available in both Classic Desktop Application (CWA) and Progressive Web Application (PWA). When accessed from the classic application, users are redirected to the PWA interface for viewing.

Using the filters

There are two key filters:

Work Practice dropdown	Allows users to switch between Work Practices if assigned to multiple.
Date range selector	Allows users to adjust the time period displayed, providing historical visibility and forward planning support.

Reading the Graph

Each graph contains the following elements:

• Graph header – Displays the configured active duty limit (e.g. 14 hours) and the rolling interval (e.g. 24 hours).

• Work Practice subtitle – Indicates which Work Practice the graph applies to.

• Export menu (burger icon in the top right) – Allows the graph to be exported in various formats.

• Red dashed line – Represents the configured active duty limit.

• Blue line – Shows the total accumulated active duty hours.

• Amber vertical line – Indicates the current time.

• Coloured shift blocks – Represent individual shifts (colours are auto-generated).

• Legend – Allows you to click individual shifts to filter the display.

Example behaviour

• Parallel shifts will create a “plateau” effect where the total remains flat while both shifts are active.

• When a shift reaches the end of the configured hourly interval, it drops off the graph.

• As older shifts fall outside the interval, available capacity increases again.

FAQs

• Why has a shift disappeared from my graph?

Shifts automatically drop off once they exceed the configured hourly interval. When this happens, the total active duty hours will decrease accordingly.

• Why do some shifts create a flat or plateau line?

If multiple shifts overlap or run in parallel, the total accumulated hours remain constant during that overlapping period, creating a plateau effect.

• Can different limits be applied to the same Work Practice?

Yes. Multiple Active Duty Graphs can be configured for a single Work Practice, each with different limits and hourly intervals.
