Data Manager Manual

Setting up

With an account you can create different users. You can specify the role of each user in the Mulcol Datamanager by selecting ‘User type’. It is recommended to create one main account with one or more super user accounts.

A business e-mail address must be given for each user, which is required to receive the invitation and any messages.

Creating a project

There is a ‘Projects’ header on Datamanager, where you can create new projects. A project is usually one building, where you can fill in the different fields. You can add more projects by clicking on ‘New project’ in the upper right corner.

Not all fields are required, but we recommend that you fill in the project details as completely as possible. This data is copied to the logbook, and a PDF version of it can be created.

General functions

Throughout the Data Manager general functions can be processed under the ‘Options’ button where you can find various options and possibilities.

After you have created a project, you can decide for yourself how to set up the project by choosing a new building section or by creating a new floorplan.

Section

You can create a building section if, for example, you have a project with different wings, which are also known as building sections. To do this, go to ‘Projects’ and then click on ‘New building section’ for the project in question. Fill in the name and any description and specify in which order you want the building sections to be displayed. This is useful for a clear overview.

Floorplan

In addition to a building component, you can also create a floorplan. Choose ‘New floorplan’ and fill in the required information. There is an option to assign unique names to the markers placed on the floorplan. To do so, fill in the ‘Marker name’ field.

To add a drawing of the building, click on the corresponding floorplan and add a drawing. It can be uploaded as a .pdf, .jpg or .png file. When you upload a drawing, you also have the possibility to crop it.

Adding a marker

The markers to be added are the locations of the fire resistant seals for wall penetrations. By moving the map, the ‘crosshair’ function appears, which allows you to determine exactly where you want to position a marker. ‘Add marker’ adds a new marker to the floorplan. You can also use the scroll wheel on your mouse to zoom in or out of the floorplan.

Copying a marker

If you have identical penetration solutions, you can easily duplicate a marker, if it has a blue colour. This duplicated marker always gets a new ID automatically.

Name

Here you can edit the Marker Name.

Description

Here you can add additional information concerning the marker. *

Solutions

Here a Multi Selector solution can be linked to the Marker so that you can directly indicate how and with which product a gap should be fire-resistant sealed.

Adding an image

Upload an image from file or upload it directly from your camera.

Technician

Name of the person who made the fireproof seal. *

Application date

Note the date when the fire-resistant seal was made.

Status van de Marker

By giving each marker a status you can quickly and clearly see the progress of your fire-resistant seals. There are several options from which you can choose:

Overview Markers & Floorplan

You now have a digital floorplan with markers that show where the fire-resistant seals are located, along with the details and status. At the top of the floorplan you can select several markers, by clicking on ‘select markers’ and then click on the corresponding markers on the floorplan. The lower icon can be used to select or deselect all markers at once.

You can also centre the floorplan , which gives you a complete picture again.

Approval and maintenance

When the relevant fire-resistant seals (markers) are indicated on a floorplan, a supervisor can check the floorplan and assign the status ‘approved’ at once to all markers. This is done by selecting all markers and changing the status through the option to ‘customise selection’. This function is also very useful for periodic maintenance.

Sending messages

When a marker has a comment or a question, the supervisor can send a message about it to the relevant user. This is done through the message centre or directly from the marker.

Logbooks

Do you want to save a project log digitally? Or does an institution demand this? You can easily save or send it as a pdf-file. To do this, go to ‘logbooks’ and create a new logbook. Select the relevant floor plan in step 2.

Then optionally add attachments, such as company certificates or maintenance contracts. The ‘title page’ is added to the index of the logbook. Attachments are easy to manage through the library, which makes it even faster to add files. The logbook is then generated and it appears as a document under the heading logbooks. You can e-mail, download or print the logbook.

Do not worry about the lack of test reports, product sheets or other technical documents for the products used with the markers. They are automatically added when you create the Logbook.

Multiselector

In the Multiselector you will find the solution you need for firestopping sealing of a gap. You can add this solution directly under your project or add it to your Favourites, along with e-mail, download or print if desired.

Favourites

You can also add more common fire protection solutions to your ‘Favourites’, which makes it easier to select and add them to projects.
