New Features

• Division Board Enablement in Production

  • What: The Division Board is now enabled for all users with the Command role across all regions in production, removing previous access limitations.

  • Why: To standardize and streamline access to the Division Board for Command users everywhere, improving operational readiness and coordination. The backend permission system was updated to remove brittle hard-coded logic and replace it with scalable role-based checks.

  • How: The system automatically enables the Division Board for all users assigned the Command role. Permission checks are now dynamically evaluated by role rather than hard-coded in controller logic, eliminating the need for manual overrides or config flags.

  • Use Case: Command users can immediately access division-level coordination tools in all regions without delay or special enablement, supporting faster incident command and improved oversight.
    
    
    
    
    

Feature Enhancements

• Increase Preplan Unit Selection Limit from 10 to 25

  • What: Expanded the limit for preplan unit selection on the command board from 10 to 25 units.

  • Why: To better support large-scale incidents requiring more extensive unit management, responding to user feedback.

  • How: Updated the command board template setup interface and logic to allow up to 25 units without performance impact.

  • Use Case: Incident commanders can plan and deploy more units efficiently during complex operations.
    
    
    
    
    

• Display NFIRS/NERIS Incident Numbers in Incident Command List

  • What: Added an optional column to show NFIRS or NERIS incident numbers and support searching by these identifiers.

  • Why: To improve standardized incident identification and searching within the Incident Command List.

  • How: The column is populated from existing database fields, controlled by a client setting, and included in the list’s search function. The page header was updated for UI consistency.

  • Use Case: Users can quickly locate incidents by official NFIRS/NERIS numbers, aiding reporting and compliance.
    
    
    
    
    
    

Fixes

• Prevent duplicate incident creation when the “Create” button is clicked multiple times during dispatch entry. This fix disables repeated clicks during processing to ensure only one incident is created per action, improving data accuracy and preventing errors.
