In order to provide you with more detailed information on our updates we have broken the Release Notes down by module.
New Features
1. Add personnel to Station Response when status is "Responding".
We have added the ability to populate personnel into the Station Response when selecting any response other than “Not Available” via the Mobile App or Responder.
When the user selects any response other than “Not Available” via the Mobile App or within Responder, the personnel is added to the Station Response table.
If the user responding is personnel AND is not a unit user (is not an apparatus) it will be placed in the Station Response section as an individual personnel.
The Refresh CAD option will check the information coming from Responding (same approach as apparatus).
The personnel information in the Station Response section will be included in the Payroll Summary section (like any other personnel information).
The user who is a unit user, but is not associated with any apparatus, won’t be taken into account for Station Response, regardless of being a valid personnel for Incident reporting.
2. Add new setting to disable OIC logic.
We have added the ability to disable the OIC logic through a setting in the Fire Incident Setup and allow users to assign the OIC manually.
Until now, the OIC was automatically assigned based on the First Arriving Unit depending on the personnel integration enabled.
When the setting is enabled, all OIC logic will be ignored and the OIC will default to null.
The OIC assignment works when integrations take place:
Scheduling
Telestaff
Crewsense
Regardless of the setting status, if the OIC comes from CAD, then it will be populated and stored in nfirs_notification.officer_in_charge
The integration for OIC works only when the Personnel’s API ID matches the very first record available for that apparatus on the Integration table
3. The ability to Auto-Populate Member Completing Report on Officer In Charge (OIC).
Previously, under Fire Incident Setup -> Wrap-up -> Signatures section, we had the option to set the OIC from the Member completing the report even when this one was populated from the personnel logged in.
We have implemented the reverse logic to set the Member Completing the Report based on the Officer in Charge selected or populated.
These settings will be exclusive, meaning both cannot be selected simultaneously.
If "Set Member Completing Report from Officer In Charge" is checked, then "Set Officer in Charge from Member Completing Report" will be disabled and grayed out, same in the opposite way.
Neither will be required and initially both will be available until one is selected, at which time the above greying out/disabling logic will occur.
4. Added a new filter for "Type of Aid Given" to the Fire Incident List.
This new filter is placed between the "Apparatus" and "Omitted Narratives" filters.
It will list ONLY the available types on the list.
5. Added the ability to assign and reference associated EMS records within Fire Incident Documentation.
We have a new Associated Records section after/below Wrap Up section.
This feature will only allow for clients that have our ePCR module.
An ePCR record can be associated with only one Incident Report.
The records linked via Short form on the ePCR module will be listed by default when accessing the new section.
When the Add button is selected a popup modal displayed allows the user the ability to link records.
The user will have the ability to search by the following criteria:
Unit Dispatch Notified Atwith the following available values:
Last 3 days, Last 7 days, Last 30 days, Last 90 days, Last 180 days, Last Year, and Custom (Custom will display a date picker to select From and To dates)
Incident #
Incident Address
Apply and Reset buttons were added with the respective search functionality.
The search results will be displayed in the modal table with the following columns:
Link and Cancel buttons are at the bottom of the modal.
Display will default to 20 records with the ability to display 50.
The following columns will be part of the table and show the respective EMS data:
Incident Number
Patient Care Report Number
Address
Complaint Reported By Dispatch
Shift
Station
EMS Incident Status
QA Status
Actions - actions will include the following:
View - clicking View will open the ePCR associated record.
Unlink - clicking unlink will unlink the associated record and remove it from the Associated Records table.
6. The ability to create Default Workflows along with Error workflows for all Custom Questions and existing fields.
7. All sections in the Custom Question section in the Fire Incident setup is now supported.
The added sections that are now supported in Custom Questions are:
Response -> Resources
Response -> Payroll Summary
Information -> Vehicle
Information -> Equipment
Feature Enhancements
1. Pull in personnel and OIC based on api_apparatus_id from.
For those agencies with personnel integrations can now determine to populate the personnel information based on the unit_call_sign or api_apparatus_id.
Until now, all the personnel integrations were based on the unit_call_sign but in the case of Crewsense, they also manage the api_apparatus_id to identify the apparatus assigned.
2. Added Tool Tips to Fire Incident Setup.
A tooltip has been added to give a better understanding of the what each setting is controlling or changing.
Hover over the icon to display the tooltip information.
3. Removed the requirement in the fields Arrived at Patient Date/Time in the People Involved/EMS section.
For those agencies that are using the Fire Incident EMS module.
4. Expanded the Payroll Summary and Station Response grid view to show more data before needing to scroll.
