ISF Watchkeeper Version 3.61 features
If you haven’t yet upgraded from previous versions of ISF Watchkeeper (ISF Watchkeeper 3.60 and below), you might also want to review the below features which were added in version 3.61 and are also part of this new upgrade to version 3.61.6:
- Auto-Sync Third Party Application Data Integration
- ISF Watchkeeper have developed a synchronisation service that can ‘plug-in’ to third-party software providers to provide a seamless data integration between the two systems.
- For example, automatically replicating crew joining and leaving events across platforms, as well as normalisation of rank lists throughout the fleet.
Infrastructure for the extension of crew management data synchronisation, aligning the common goals of complimentary software systems, reducing duplicate user input efforts, and enhancing data consumption for customers.
- Vessel Event Cross Check (SIRE 2.0)
- A new SIRE 2.0 feature offering admin users the opportunity to create vessel events, assign the relevant crew members, and then cross check their recorded work hours for the duration of each event.
- Discrepancies are easily visible with alert statuses, while providing the ability to view the crew timesheets for the events and edit any hours that have been omitted or logged incorrectly.
- Events can be easily managed, for both single and recurring activities, and can be marked as checked to help organise cross check workflow and provide SIRE 2.0 acknowledgement.
- NC Acknowledgement (SIRE 2.0)
- A new report to show the acknowledgement of non-conformities by Watchkeeper Online users, in accordance with SIRE 2.0 guidelines.

- ISF Watchkeeper AppLink
- AppLink is a Data Import/Export tool with a wizard interface that allows you to export ISF Watchkeeper data to Microsoft Excel and also allows you to import properly formatted data from Microsoft Excel files into the ISF Watchkeeper database.
- Importing can be useful, for example, when you have a standard set of Rank names and schedules per rank that you may want deployed on each vessel in your fleet; or if you want Watchkeeper 3 to receive crew change event data from a personnel system.

- Rank Names and Rank Schedules (ie. work shift patterns per rank).
