Creating a New Personnel Record
Navigate to Personnel Module > Personnel List.
SelectNew Personnel.
You will be redirected to a new page, with many fields to add information to.
While there are many fields that appear, only three are required to be filled to create the personnel record. Those include:
First Name
Email
Password
Fields that are required have '(required)' next to them.
NOTE: Although these are the only required fields, it would be helpful to input as much information as possible when creating the profile so that you do not have to update it at another time.
IMPORTANT: If you are using First Due to document ePCRs, you may be required to include the individuals full legal name, date of birth, gender, and race. Check with your state's Office of EMS to determine personnel record requirements.
Field Definitions
Most fields in the New Personnel section are self explanatory but there are some which may be confusing.
We will specifically be focusing on the following fields:
Field Crew / Service Provider
Create System User and Send Credentials to User
Unit, Division, Shift, Station, and Position
Qualifiers and Groups
Status
Is Training Instructor
Field Crew/Service Provider
The Field Crew/Service Provider toggle does not directly affect the person's ability to be placed on an assignment in the Scheduling module but is required for an individual to appear in both the Fire and ePCR reports.
Create System User and Send Credentials to User
If the individual needs to be able to login to First Due as a user, the Create System User toggle will create their user profile.
This saves you time, as you only have to create one profile to create both a Personnel record and a User profile.
The Password field, Send Credentials to User toggle, and Role field will be present when toggled on.
If toggled off, the Password field, Send Credentialsto User toggle, and Role field disappear.
Turning on the Send Credentials to User toggle will send their login information to the individual through the email that you inputed.
Unit, Division, Shift, Station, and Position
The Unit, Division, Shift, Station, and Position fields depend on what your department has put into First Due.
These fields allow you to put where the individual will be assigned to, but does not place them there on the Shift Board.
They must still be added to their assignment on the Shift Board.
Qualifiers and Groups
You are able to add the individual to Qualifiers and Groups when creating their record, saving you time.
Simply click the drop-down menu and select the Qualifier or Group that they will be under.
Status
Status allows you to choose the current status of personnel.
You are able to choose one of the following options:
Active
Inactive
Resigned
Terminated

When you have inputed the information required, as well as any other information you wished to input at this time, clickCreate in the upper right hand corner.
