Office functions in deskbird let you indicate roles like First aider or Fire responder on your profile, so colleagues can quickly find the right person in an emergency. This article explains what office functions are and how to add or remove one from your own profile.
1. What office functions are
Office functions are predefined roles that identify employees who take on specific responsibilities in the workplace — particularly during emergencies. The available functions are:
- First aider
- Fire responder
- Evacuation assistant
- Key holder
Functions are location-specific, meaning you can hold a role in one office but not another. A colleague searching for a First aider will see which users have that function assigned in a given location.
⚠️ You can only assign office functions yourself if your company admin has enabled this option. If you can't change your office functions in your profile, contact your admin and ask them to assign the relevant function to your account.
2. Add a function to your profile
- Click your profile icon in the bottom-left corner of the web app and select Profile settings.
- In the Account tab, go to Office & office functions > Office function(s).
- Open the dropdown of the function that applies to you (e.g. First aider) and select the offices where you hold it, for example First aider in Berlin.
- Click Save to confirm.
You can select multiple functions if more than one applies to you.
3. Remove a function
- Open Profile settings and go to Office & office functions > Office function(s).
- Open the dropdown of the function and clear the offices where you no longer hold it.
- Click Save.
💡 Office functions are fixed labels and cannot be renamed. If your organization needs a custom function that is not on the list, ask your admin to contact deskbird support.
