ThreadCount has two rounds. Delivery rounds takes pickups, garments ordered in for a person, to the wards. Approved staff requests go on the ward round, signed for by the ward desk in the staff app.
What a round is
Delivery rounds lists every pickup not yet picked up or delivered, grouped by the ward on the person's staff record. A person with no ward recorded is listed under Unknown. Each ward shows its cost centre and how many pickups it has.
Three tiles sit above: To deliver, Garments on the trolley and Waiting 14+ days. The last is flagged when any pickup has waited 14 days or more.
Each row shows the person, their phone number, the garments, the order code and the days waiting.

|---|---|---|

| Photo | The signature, and the handover photo if taken | See below |
Delivery refuses Already handed over when the pickup was picked up or delivered first, and Size <size> is no longer on <garment> — fix the catalogue before marking this delivered.
How signatures are stored and removed
The signature is saved as a PNG image before the delivery is recorded. An image may be up to 700 KB. It is kept as a file on the server, and the database holds a pointer to it. A self-hosted server keeps the files in the folder named by PHOTO_DIR, or .photos in the app's folder when that is unset (Configuration reference).
A signature is shown only to a signed-in user of the same facility.
No screen deletes a single signature. Images are removed in two cases:
- An image nothing refers to, such as a signature saved for a delivery that then failed, is deleted once it is more than 1 day old. The clean-up runs on about 1 image save in 20.
- Wiping the facility's activity or resetting the facility removes every image the facility holds. Restoring a backup removes them and puts back the images the backup carries.
A backup carries up to 2000 images, and up to 40 MB of them.
Careful A wipe of activity removes every delivery signature at once, with no way to keep some.
The ward round for staff requests
On Requests, a request being picked has Send on the ward round (Requests from staff). It refuses in two cases:
<first name> has no ward recorded, so there is no round to send this on. Hold it at the counter, or record their ward on the staff register first.Nobody on <ward> can sign for a round bag — that needs somebody with the ward-desk flag and their own staff-app account. Hold it at the counter instead, or set the flag on their staff record first.
The wearer is emailed On the ward round when they have an account and email is set up: Whoever signs for it at the desk will be named on your order.
Somebody on that ward signs for the bag in the staff app. No drawn signature is taken. ThreadCount records the signer's name, their role (ward clerk for somebody with the ward-desk flag), the time, and a history line Delivered to <ward>. The issues are written at that moment. The shelf is not checked at the ward, so a short shelf does not stop the hand-over; a later count corrects it. The wearer or the ward desk then marks the bag collected from the ward. See Staff app.
Ward delivery notes
The paper that travels with a bag is the delivery slip, Uniform ward delivery. Its footer is Delivery slip footer in Settings, which reads After hours deliveries are left with the manager or team leader on duty. until changed. See Slips and signatures.
