New Releases

You can now configure additional required fields directly within the Fluid Type setup screen.

How it works:

• When creating or editing a Fluid Type, new checkbox options allow you to mark the following fields as required:
• Location
• User
• Engine Hours
• Odometer
• Cost
• Fluid Info
• Fluid Attachment
• These checkboxes are unchecked by default.
• Once selected, the corresponding fields become mandatory when users log fluid-related activities for that Fluid Type.
  

Enhancements

1.  Add NERIS Type and NERIS ID to Apparatus

Users can now define NERIS-specific identifiers for apparatus records.

How it works:

• A new dropdown field: NERIS Apparatus Type with 49 selectable values.
• A new text field: NERIS Apparatus ID (up to 30 characters, supports special characters).
  

Apparatus Secondary ID is now visible in Preventative Maintenance views.

How it works:

• If the “Display Apparatus Secondary ID Field” toggle is ON and a value is selected, the secondary ID appears alongside the apparatus name throughout Preventative Maintenance.
  

3.  VIN Decoder Update

The VIN decoder now updates both existing and empty fields in a single action.

How it works:

• Automatically overwrites existing fields and fills in empty ones.
• If the Manufacture_Year is present, the Manufacture Date is auto-filled as 01/01/[Year].
  

4.  Default New Equipment to “In Service”

New equipment entries now default to an operational status.

How it works:

• When new equipment is added, its status is automatically set to In Service.
• Users can still manually update the status as needed.
  

Track both current and home locations for apparatus.

How it works:

• A new Home Location field has been added to the apparatus record.
• Uses the same value list as the Fire Station field.
• Not required by default.
• Existing records will show this field as empty.
• Selection is independent of the Fire Station value.
  

6.  Update Restock Log to Include Work Order

The system now automatically captures the Work Order number when restock events are triggered by work orders, improving traceability and audit accuracy.

How it works:

• When inventory is added, modified, or deleted in the Cost or Inventory tabs using the Destination field, a corresponding entry is created in the Restock List.
• The new Work Order Number column is populated with the associated WO number.
• Historical records generated before this update will display this field as empty.
  

7.  Ability to Print Swapover History Details

Users can now print swapover history details for documentation and sharing purposes.

How it works:

• When viewing an open Swap History, a Print button is available within the VIEW modal.
• Clicking the button downloads a PDF that includes:

• Client header image
• Department name (e.g.,
  Fire Department)
• “Swapover History Details” title
• FirstDue logo
• Swap metadata: Inventory Swap #, Status, Created By, Created At
• Apparatus/Station transfer details: From Apparatus, To Apparatus or To Station
• Transfer Items table with:

• Location
• Item Type (INV, EQP, ASSET KIT)
• Item (name and ID)
• Quantity (for inventory only)
• Expiration Date (for inventory only)

8.  Change Verbiage in Navigation Menu

Navigation menu labels have been updated to better reflect the purpose of each section.

How it works:

• The following menu items have been renamed:

• Apparatus Checks → Apparatus Overview
• Equipment Checks → Equipment Overview
• Station Checks → Station Overview
• Kit Checks → Kit Overview
