Vessel Settings → Crew → Work/Rest has one setting: how crew explain additional work hours when they add a comment to a work/rest day. The sub-tab appears on yachts whose licence includes Work/Rest hours.
The two options
- Free text: crew type any explanation for a day. This is the starting setting.
- Pre-defined list: crew pick a compliant reason from a list you define.
A fixed list of reasons keeps rest-hour records consistent across the yacht and easier to audit.
Maintaining the list
Choosing Pre-defined list shows the Available reasons editor. If the list is empty when you switch to it, it is filled with a default set of compliant reasons, which you can keep, edit or replace. Edit a reason in place, remove it with its bin button, or click Add new reason to add another.
The list must have at least one reason, and no reason can appear twice. Until both are true, Save stays disabled and a message explains the problem (Add at least one reason, or switch back to free text. or Reasons must be unique.). Blank rows are ignored when you save. Nothing changes until you click Save.
Removing a reason does not change comments that already use it. It just stops being offered for new comments.
Switching back to Free text and saving clears the list.
Only users with Vessel Settings → Edit see the Save button. Everyone else sees the current setting read-only.
For work/rest records themselves (logging hours, the rest-hour rules and compliance checks), see the Crew section.
