The first time you open the Button Usage Log, every button in your facility will appear on the list. This is expected — VAS has no usage history yet, so it needs a fresh starting point.

1. Physically change the battery in every panic button listed.
2. Confirm the change for each one (see Step 4 below).

1. Log in to your VAS dashboard.
2. In the left-hand menu, go to Maintenance.
3. Click Battery Usage Logs. A badge icon shows how many buttons currently need checking.

Buttons only appear on this page once they need attention. Usage is estimated against a 2,500-press lifespan per battery.

For first-time setup, start on All so you can see and action every button.

1. Once you've physically changed a button's battery, find it in the list.
2. Click the Confirm toggle next to that button.
3. A popup will ask you to confirm the change — click Yes, Confirm.
4. The button disappears from the active list, and its icon turns green.

If you've changed several batteries at the same time — for example, after a maintenance round:

1. Use the checkboxes to select multiple buttons.
2. Click the Confirm toggle.
3. A popup confirms how many battery changes you're about to log.
4. Click Yes, Confirm once you're certain all selected batteries were changed.

If a battery change was confirmed incorrectly — for example, if maintenance reported a change that wasn't actually done:

1. Find the button under the Recently Changed tab.
2. Click Revert in that button's row.
3. Confirm when prompted.
4. The button moves back to the All list as needing a check.

Use the search bar to look up a button by location name (e.g. "Doctor's Room") if you need to check or action a specific device without scrolling the full list.

You can export the current list as Print, PDF, or Excel. This is useful for sending a physical checklist to a maintenance team — they can mark off batteries as they change them, then hand the list back to you to confirm on the system.
