The Seafarer Pools feature has been designed to help your manning agency become more organized by creating groups that contain specific candidates. Here’s how to use this feature.

How to use Seafarer Pools

Log in to your Martide account and click on Settings in the drop down menu under your profile picture and then on Seafarer Pools:

Click on Seafarer Pools and you will see this page (at first yours will be empty - in our example we’ve already created 3 Pools):

Here you can:

• See, edit and delete your current Seafarer Pools.
• Create a new Seafarer Pool by clicking the blue +Add Pool button at the top.
• Sort your Pools from A-Z or Z-A by clicking the 3 lines next to Name.

How to create a new Seafarer Pool

Click the blue +Add Pool button. You will see a pop-up box that looks like this:

Here you can:

• Enter a name for your Seafarer Pool.
• Select the seafarers in your database who you want to add to it. You can add as many people as you like. They will appear in the drop down menu when you click on the box:

Click Save when you’re finished adding seafarers to that pool. The new pool will appear on the main Seafarer Pools page.

How to add seafarers to a pool from their profile

If you have added a candidate to a pool it will show in their seafarer profile. In the above image, we were about to add Cleo Lakin to our new Chief Engineers Pool. If we go to Cleo's profile, you can see that information now appears in her Status section:

You can also add a seafarer to a pool by editing their profile. To do this click the + Add pool text shown in the box above and you will see a drop down menu that lists all your current seafarer pools. Select the one(s) you want to add the seafarer to and it will appear in their profile:

How to edit or delete a Seafarer Pool

On the main Seafarer Pool page go to the pool you want to change or remove. To edit it, click the pen icon and to delete it, click the trash can icon:

If you click the pen you will be taken back to the original pool where you can change the name and add or remove candidates:

If you click Delete you will see a pop-up message asking you if you’re sure you want to delete the pool. Click OK to delete it and Cancel if it was an error.

How to sort your Seafarer Pools

Your pools are displayed in alphabetical or numerical order (depending on how you name them) i.e. from A-Z or from 1-10:

To display them the other way around - i.e. from Z-A, click the 3 lines next to the word Name - see the image above and it will reorder the pools:

And that’s it! We hope you found this guide to Seafarer Pools useful.
