Vessel Profile
The Vessel Profile link found under the System menu allows administrators to maintain the metadata regarding their ship and the personnel operating her. The data entry is organized into multiple tabs which are described below.
Basic Information
The Basic Information tab allows you to enter some of the core metadata used to describe your vessel. Some of this data is sent with the data packages sent to shore so be sure to keep the information as accurate as possible.
The Recruiting Country and Date of Recruitment elements are specific to the SAMOS program. If you are not enrolled in SAMOS you can ignore these.
Contact Information
The Contact Information tab allows you to enter the information used by others to contact your vessel in the event of questions or issues regarding sent data or any other reason. The email addresses specified here are sent along with most data packages sent to shore such as NCEI and SAMOS.
Device Metadata
While most metadata regarding specific physical devices is completed inside CFE there are a few ( SAMOS requested ) metadata items which span beyond any single device. Those can be clarified via the Device Metadata tab. Details on what these items mean can be found on the SAMOS main website.
Vessel Layout
The Vessel Layout tab allows you to enter the dimensions of your ship, all measurements should be in meters.
Photographs and Schematics
If you have images of your vessel from the various viewpoints and angles detailed in this tab please upload them. If you have schematics (CAD diagrams or printouts, etc) you can also provide them via this tab. Click the appropriate edit button to begin the upload process.
