Purpose Statement
This article explains how to locate and view Brycer (Compliance Engine) TCE (Test, Compliance, and Efficiency) data within First Due. It enables users to quickly identify occupancies with compliance statuses and access critical safety information, improving situational awareness and response readiness.
Background Information
Agencies using the Brycer Compliance Engine integration can import TCE data directly into First Due. This data provides insight into system compliance (e.g., fire protection systems) and highlights deficiencies that may impact firefighter safety.
Key use cases include:
- Identifying occupancies with compliance issues
- Viewing system status during pre-planning and incident response
- Enhancing firefighter safety with visual warning indicators
The data appears in:
- Pre-Plan Organizer (via search and alert tiles)
- Pre-Plans Map and Dashboard
- Mobile Responder (during active incidents)
Required Permissions
Users may need the following permissions:
- Pre-Planning: View Occupancies
- Pre-Planning: Access Pre-Plan Organizer
- Pre-Planning: View Pre-Plans Map
- Dashboard: View Dashboard Tiles
- Mobile Responder Access (if viewing in the field)
Permission names may vary slightly by agency configuration.
