FAR Fishing Activity Report (Daily information)
It is mandatory to send a “FAR” every 24 hours To create this message you need to navigate to the default page in the menu “Fishing Trip”
and use the “+Add” button at the bottom right to add a “FAR”. This will redirect you to the “ Day Information” tab. In order to create a “FAR” you need a saved date. This saved date will store the “FAR” message. The date presented in the menu as seen in the picture below will always by default be the date of the system’s clock.
There are six buttons in the “Day Information” tab:
|
Export:
|

|
|
Save:
|
Saves the date which allows tows to be added to that date
|
|
Cancel:
|

|
|
Delete:
|
Deletes a tow in the saved date, this only works when the day information has not being exported yet and their can be no weights in the tow.
|
|
Add tow:
|

|
|
Select tow:
|
Opens the selected tow which has already being made, so changes can be made if needed to a saved tow.
|
When you use the “Save” button, you will be forwarded to the “Tow information” tab. This is done by default.
Within the tow information page are a few parameters that need to be filled out located on the right side of the “tow information” tab prior to adding weights to the species you will see on the left side. When no species are yet configured you can add them using the bar at the bottom. This bar works similar to the adding species in the favorites screen.
The following parameters must be filled out in the Tow screen:
|

When these parameters are filled in you can move on and begin registering catches. When a specie is selected on the left side of the screen you will see this as well on the bottom right in the box Specie name. In here you can either insert the amount of boxes into the Units box when an average weight per box has been set or the amount of kilos you’ve caught in the Weight box.
You can also insert the amount of discards in the box labeled “Discards”. Once all the information is filled out you can use the “Save” button.
