Enhancements

1. “Equipment Used During Physical Exposure” Field Now Multi-Select

What: The “Equipment Used During Physical Exposure” field in the Personnel Exposed section has been updated to support multi-select functionality. This enhancement improves documentation accuracy by allowing users to capture all relevant protective equipment used during a physical exposure event.

Why: Previously, the field only allowed a single equipment selection, limiting the ability to fully capture all protective gear or resources used. This enhancement aligns with field needs and mirrors the functionality already present in other exposure types (Traumatic, Biological, Chemical), promoting consistency and data completeness.

How it works:
  1. Multi-Select Enabled:
    1. Users can now select multiple equipment types for a single exposure record using checkboxes.
  2. Consistent with Other Exposure Types:
    1. The behavior and UI match the multi-select setup found in Traumatic, Biological, and Chemical exposure forms.
  3. Data Integrity Maintained:
    1. Any previously saved single-value entries have been automatically converted to the new format without data loss.
  4. Standardized Equipment List:  No changes were made to the equipment options.
    1. Available selections include:
    2. Body Protection
    3. Eye/Face Protection
    4. Monitoring Equipment
    5. Decontamination Equipment
    6. First Aid/Medical
    7. Communication Equipment
    8. Special Tools
  5. Reporting Support
    1. All selected values will appear in printed reports via Form Builder.
    2. Fully searchable and filterable within Ad-Hoc Reporting.
Use Case:
A firefighter is physically exposed during overhaul and uses multiple protective items, including body protection, decontamination tools, and monitoring equipment. The multi-select update allows the user to record all equipment used in one record, improving post-incident review and exposure risk tracking.






2. Equipment Used Fields Now Configurable via Custom Field Management

What: The “Equipment Used During <Exposure Type> Exposure” fields for Traumatic, Biological, and Chemical exposures are now fully configurable within the Custom Field Management section of Exposure Setup. This enhancement allows administrators to manage field behavior, available values, and field visibility across different exposure types.

Why: Previously, the “Equipment Used” fields were fixed lists with no customization. Now, agencies can tailor these fields to their operational needs—modifying labels, reordering items, and enabling/disabling selections. This improves consistency, data quality, and user experience when documenting personnel exposure.

How it works:
  1. Permissions
    1. Users with access to Exposure Setup can configure these fields under:
      1. Setup → Exposure Setup → Exposure Custom Fields
    2. Permissions are scoped by exposure type:
      1. Each type (Traumatic, Biological, Chemical) appears as its own tab, with individual visibility controls.
  2. Custom Field Availability:
    1. “Equipment Used” fields now appear alongside other exposure custom fields for the three applicable types.
  1. List-Type Field Behavior:
    1. These fields act as list picklists and support:
      • Custom values: Add, edit, or remove equipment items
      • Reordering: Drag and drop to arrange list order
      • Enable/disable: Show or hide specific items
      • Required/Optional: Set whether the field is mandatory
      • Editable labels: Rename fields for clarity or alignment with agency terminology
  1. Dynamic Field Visibility:
    1. Customizations apply only when the relevant exposure type is selected during data entry, ensuring clean, context-specific forms.
  1. Reporting Support:
    1. All selected equipment values:
      • Display in printable reports via Form Builder
      • Are fully accessible in Ad-Hoc Reporting for filtering and analysis
Use Case:  An agency wants to document different sets of equipment based on the exposure type. For chemical exposures, they add options like "Hazmat Suit" and "Chemical Sensor," while traumatic exposures include "Backboard" and "Tourniquet." With this update, the admin configures each list under its relevant tab, ensuring responders only see relevant options for the scenario being documented.

Fixes

1. Deleted NFIRS Records No Longer Appear in Associated Records Import

What: Previously, deleted or trashed NFIRS records were still visible and selectable when importing Associated Records into a Health & Wellness Exposure report. This behavior created confusion and increased the risk of linking exposure entries to incorrect or invalid incidents.

Why:  Correcting this behavior improves data integrity and aligns with expected system logic: only valid, active NFIRS records should be linked to exposure documentation.
  1. Allowing trashed or deleted NFIRS records to appear in the import list could lead to:
    1. Accidental association with invalid or outdated incidents
    2. Inconsistent exposure documentation
    3. Errors in reporting and auditing workflows
How it works: When importing NFIRS records into an Exposure Report under Associated Records, only active NFIRS records are shown. The system now excludes any records that meet either of the following conditions:


Only records where all of these values are FALSE will appear in the Associated Records import modal.
​
Use Case: A department deletes a duplicate NFIRS incident that was created in error. Prior to this fix, the deleted record would still appear as an option when importing into an exposure report, causing potential confusion. With this update, the deleted record no longer appears, preventing incorrect data linkage.
