Directions

1. Unassigned Units displays all the Units tied to this incident that are not currently assigned. Initially this is populated with only the dispatched Units but will also display any Units dispatched on upgrades or additional alarms. It will also display any Units added by the Command Board User.






2. To add a Unit, Select the Add Unassigned Units button.






3. Users can search for a Unit by scrolling the list to find a specific Unit, or can search for a Unit by entering a name into the search bar. A custom Unit can also be created by typing the name into the search bar. Select Create to create a unit or Add if you selected a Unit from the List






4. A menu is available for each Unit that allows the Command Board User to:

A.  Edit the Unit--Change the name or change to a different Unit
B. Clear--Removes the Unit from the Command Board (Does not affect the CAD, the incident or NFIRS only the Unit being displayed on the Command Board)
C. Duplicate--Makes a copy of the Unit. This can be used when splitting crews  between assignments
D. Add Notes--Enables Command Board User to create and attach a Note to the specific Unit. Note will then appear in the Notes Section tied to that specific Unit.







5. A search bar is also available within the Unassigned Units Area to assist in finding Units. This search only finds the unit within the Unassigned Units area and not within then whole Command Board.






6. When Units are placed into an Assignment an additional Menu item becomes available--Make Lead. This allows the unit to be designated as the Lead of that specific assignment. When selected, a blue banner is displayed across the top of the Unit designating it as the Lead Unit in that assignment.
