What is a "Captain"
A captain in Hiro is someone who has responsibility for managing the performance of a project, has the authority to add/remove team members from the project, and raises invoice claims based on the performance information available to them.
Captains are assigned either per-enquiry, or per-department on jobs. For jobs with multiple departments added, each department may have a different captain assigned, or can have the same person assigned across all departments.
Determine who a Captain on a Project Is
If you are unsure who is the department captain on a particular project:
- search for the job number using the global search box in the top right corner of any Hiro page;
- click the "Departments" tab;
- the person who is the captain for each department is displayed.
Change a Captain on an Existing Project
A Captain is assigned to a project during its initial lodgement. For jobs, the per-department captain is assigned during the initial job lodgement, which includes the addition of the first department to that job, or subsequently for additional departments via the Add Department to an Existing Job page.
To change a captain after this point:
- visit the Change Captains page, accessible from the Projects module;
- search for and select the project you wish to change the captain/s for;
- change the project captain/s as needed, and enter a reason for making this change;
- click the Save button.
