Facility Configuration

Facility settings apply to all units and patients within the facility.

Timezone

The facility timezone determines:

  • When shifts start and end
  • How timestamps display in reports
  • Nighttime protocol activation times

All data is stored in UTC. The timezone setting controls display and scheduling only.

caution

Changing the timezone after operations have begun may affect historical reports. Plan timezone changes carefully.

Multi-Facility Support

Organizations with multiple facilities can manage them from a single account:

  • Each facility has independent units, staff, and patients
  • Staff accounts can be assigned to multiple facilities
  • Reports can be generated per-facility or organization-wide

Contact Vigil support to enable multi-facility management.
