What: A new export option—Regional Pre-Plan Layers (All)—has been added to the ArcGIS Export Tool. This allows departments to export all of their department-owned regional preplan layers (both annotations and preplan units) in a single operation.
Why: This feature enables departments to efficiently share complete preplan datasets with external GIS systems and stakeholders. It reduces manual export effort and ensures that all spatial and attribute data is included in one streamlined export.
How: Users can activate this feature by:
Navigating to Pre-Plan > ArcGIS Export Tool, then select New Feature Service
Choosing the desired AGOL account (First Due's AGOL account is selected by default)
Providing a layer name
Selecting Regional Pre-Plan Layers as the Feature Type
Configuring ArcGIS Online credentials (if not previously set)
Initiating an EXPORT (for new services) or SYNC_ALL_FEATURES (for a complete refresh)
Use Case: Departments looking to push all their preplan data—including annotations, units, and styling—into ArcGIS Online for regional visibility, analysis, or coordination with mutual aid partners.
What: Introduced a new field "permit.submit_date"
as a filterable and displayable field in the Alert Tile Configurator.
Why: Enables alert configuration and tile display based on permit submission dates from Community Connect permits, improving situational awareness during responses
How: This feature is now live and available to all clients who have Alert Tile Configurator. The field "Permit Submit Date" is now available in the configurator and can be selected to create a new alert tile which automatically hides null or empty values to ensure clean tile presentation
Use Case: Useful for agencies tracking submission timelines of Community Connect permits and creating dashboard alerts tied to permitting activities or expiration tracking
What: Enhanced Alert Tiles in the Place Dashboard to display comprehensive contact information from the Pre-Plan Contact record. This enhancement includes the automatic hiding of empty/null contact fields for a clean UI presentation, support for multiple contacts with clear separation and labeling and a responsive display across desktop, tablet, and mobile interfaces
Why: Provides critical contact details to first responders during emergency responses
How: This feature enhancement is now live and available for all clients.
Use Case: Useful for response personnel and administrators who need quick access to relevant contacts at an emergency location, particularly when managing high-risk sites or complex structures. Automatic hiding of empty/null contact fields for a clean UI presentation
