Track bodies
Tracking those in your care starts the moment you pick up the body. Passare mobile lets you create the case and log tracking details from anywhere.
Add or edit a case
First, access the case you need to track. You can either add a new case or find an existing one.
If you are adding a case, click the plus icon and select Case. Fill in case details like case type, branch, and name.
If you are editing a case, go to the case and tap the plus icon. Then select Location.
Next, fill out the following Tracking fields.
⚠️ Missing some buttons? Tracking is determined by roles and permissions. For help, reach out to us at support@passare.com or (800) 692-5111.
Assign a location
Next, assign a location to the case. Use the scanner tool to scan a location code or select the arrow to view your list of saved locations.
By clicking the arrow, you can search your list or find a location using the GPS tool.
The GPS tool allows you to select your current location, drop a pin, or select from nearby locations.
Assign a Decedent ID
Attach a tracking band to the body's ankle or wrist. Then, use the scanner tool to scan the code in the Decedent ID field.
