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 the field is greyed out 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.
- Scroll to the Office functions section.
- Click the function or functions that apply to you (e.g. First Aider).
- Click Save to confirm.
You can select multiple functions if more than one applies to you.
3. Remove a function
- Open your Profile and go to the Office functions section.
- Click the active function you want to remove to deselect it.
- Click Save.
💡 Office functions are fixed labels and cannot be renamed. If your organisation needs a custom function that is not on the list, ask your admin to contact deskbird support.
