    2. Select Investigator from the drop down list.
    3. Includes any user entered into the Add Investigator Information section only.

Water Meter reading and Service options

  1. What: We added the ability to capture the Water Meter reading and Service level when adding Utilities for Structure Fires.

    1. There are two new fields about Utility Comments within the Create Utility modal under Scene Information/utilities with the following labels:
      1. Water Meter Reading: a free text field that allows numeric and decimal values.
      2. Service: 3 radials with the options of None, Off, and On (similar to what we have for Gas/Fuel)
    2. These fields are visible when Type of Utility = "Water" 

  2. Use Case: To document the Water Meter reading and status of water service to a structure fire investigation.


  1. What: We added the ability to link multiple investigations showing a spot where users can open up “linked” investigations together.

    1. We have a new link component within the header section
      1. When clicking the new link component, a modal appears to look up an investigation by the following data:
        1. Investigation Number
        2. Investigation Type
        3. Location
        4. Date
    2. Have the ability to select one or multiple investigations.

      1. Both actions will take you to the respective investigation record
    4. When clicking on "Link", the selected investigations will appear in a dropdown below the new component within the header section
    5. When displaying the Linked Investigations, we can list, edit/view, and remove the record from the linked list via the dropdown within the header section
    6. When hitting in edit or view icon, the actual record selected is opened and the linked records drop-down will show the actual records linked to the current report, not the old list for the previous report
    7. When hitting on the unlink option we will show the following confirmation message "Do you want to unlink the Fire Investigation?"
    8. After confirming the report will get unlinked. with the message “Link with Fire Investigation(s) removed”.

  2. Use Case: The purpose of the feature is to link various fire investigations to one another to display interrelationships between investigations at multiple sites.
