Getting Started

Installation

  1. First, download the installation program found above.
  2. Once it has downloaded, run the file to begin the installation process.
  3. Proceed through the various screens.
  4. When the installation is complete, you should see a shortcut on your desktop, and another in your start menu for "SAR Assistant". Double click on the shortcut to run the app.
  5. After your first installation, it is suggested you check for updates to the various preset assignments and reflex tasks. To do this, go to "Updates" > "Check for Data Updates" in the app.
Unknown Publisher
You may be prompted about installing an application from an "unknown publisher". There is (of course) a cost to becoming a "known publisher", and in order to keep the app free I have forgone that cost. Take my assurance for what it is worth that the app is genuine and contains no malicious code.

Updating

To update the data files within the app, click on "Updates" and "Check For Data Updates" in the menu at the top of the app. This will allow you to download any new preset assignment descriptions, reflex tasks, safety plans or incident objects which have been created recently. When updating, the system will NOT remove or change any of your existing information, it will simply add additional items as appropriate.
To update the app itself, click on "Updates" and "Check for App Updates" in the menu at the top of the app. If there is a newer version of the app available, it will download the new version and prompt you to begin the installation process.
