Feature Enhancements

Active Incident Bar for Verdugo CAD Dispatches

• What - Enhanced the Verdugo CAD integration by automatically populating the Active Incident Bar when an incident is dispatched. This improvement also enables responder status actions directly from the active incident, providing immediate access to incident-specific status updates throughout the response lifecycle.
• Why - Automatically displaying active dispatch information helps responders quickly identify their current assignment and reduces the need to manually locate incident information after dispatch.
• How
  • Receive a dispatch through the integrated Verdugo CAD system.
  • The Active Incident Bar automatically displays the assigned incident.
  • Use the available responder status buttons directly from the active incident when applicable.
  • Status actions remain available throughout the active response.
• Use Case - A responding unit receives a dispatch and immediately sees the active incident displayed at the top of the application, allowing personnel to update their response status without navigating through additional screens.

CAD Dispatch Status Indicator

• What - Enhanced the application status indicator to display the responder's current CAD Dispatch Status, providing immediate visibility into dispatch activity directly from the application interface.
• Why - Displaying dispatch status within the application improves situational awareness by allowing responders to quickly verify their current CAD status without switching between systems.
• How
  • Log into the application.
  • View the Status Indicator displayed within the application.
  • The indicator automatically reflects the responder's current CAD dispatch status.
  • Status updates occur automatically as dispatch information changes.
• Use Case - A responder can immediately confirm whether they have been dispatched, are responding, or have returned to service by viewing the application's status indicator.

Restore Active Dispatch and Responder Status on Login

• What - Improved login behavior by restoring the responder's last known status and active dispatch information immediately after signing into the application.
• Why - Restoring active operational information provides continuity between sessions and reduces the time required for responders to regain awareness after logging into the application.
• How
  • Sign into the application.
  • Previously active responder status and dispatch information are restored automatically when available.
  • Continue working without manually reloading dispatch information.
• Use Case - A responder logging back into the application during an active incident immediately resumes where they left off with current dispatch information already displayed.

Context-Aware Incident Status Buttons

• What - Updated incident detail behavior so responder status buttons are automatically hidden for bidirectional CAD integrations when those actions are not applicable.
• Why - Removing unavailable actions simplifies the interface and helps prevent confusion by only displaying controls that are appropriate for the responder's integration.
• How
  • Open an incident within the Incident Details screen.
  • If the connected CAD workflow manages responder statuses externally, unsupported status buttons are automatically hidden.
  • Available actions continue to display normally when supported.
• Use Case - A responder using a bidirectional CAD integration only sees actions that are valid for their workflow, reducing interface clutter and preventing accidental use of unsupported controls.

Always-Visible Responder Status Indicator

• What - Updated the application interface so the responder status indicator remains visible throughout the application, providing continuous visibility into the responder's current operational status.
• Why - Keeping responder status visible improves situational awareness and allows personnel to quickly verify their current status without navigating away from their current workflow.
• How
  • Log into the application.
  • Navigate throughout responder workflows.
  • The responder status indicator remains visible while using the application.
  • Status updates occur automatically as responder status changes.
• Use Case - A responder reviewing incident information can always verify their current operational status without leaving the screen they are working in.

Logged-In Unit Display in the Application Header

• What - Added the currently logged-in unit name to the application header for supported bidirectional workflows, providing constant visibility into the active unit assignment.
• Why - Displaying the assigned unit throughout the application helps reduce confusion for personnel operating shared devices or managing multiple units.
• How
  • Sign into the application.
  • View the Application Header.
  • The currently assigned unit name is displayed automatically.
  • The displayed unit updates whenever the logged-in unit changes.
• Use Case - A responder using a shared mobile device can immediately confirm which apparatus or unit is currently assigned before updating statuses or reviewing incidents.

Compact Address Search Bar

• What - Redesigned the address search experience with a compact search bar that supports expand and collapse functionality, allowing more screen space to remain available for responder information.
• Why - A smaller search interface improves screen efficiency while still providing quick access to address search functionality when needed.
• How
  • Access the responder map.
  • Select the compact Address Search bar to expand it.
  • Perform the desired search.
  • Collapse the search bar to maximize map visibility.
• Use Case - A responder can quickly search for an address and then collapse the search interface to regain additional map viewing space during navigation.

Enhanced Units List with CAD Status

• What - Enhanced the Units List by displaying each unit's CAD status regardless of whether the unit is actively assigned to a dispatch.
• Why - Displaying CAD status for all units provides better operational awareness and allows responders to quickly understand unit availability throughout the organization.
• How
  • Open the Units List.
  • Review each listed unit.
  • CAD status is displayed for every unit automatically.
  • Status updates occur as CAD information changes.
• Use Case - A company officer reviewing available resources can immediately determine which units are available, responding, or otherwise committed without opening additional screens.

Enhanced Units List Layout and Location Information

• What - Improved the Units List by introducing a more compact card layout and additional contextual location information, allowing more operational information to be displayed within the available screen space.
• Why - Presenting more information in a streamlined layout improves readability while reducing scrolling and making it easier to monitor unit activity.
