This weeks release will be live on all accounts within 24 hours, and we've a couple of tweaks to make things faster and easier for you.

Short-Cuts on Dashboard
We've brought back shortcut buttons to create activities on the dashboard.



Casualties Workflow
Once you create an incident, the casualties now flow directly on from the incident one after another. Once you've updated each casualty it will jump into your attendance selection, or you can skip casualties if you've nothing further.



Self-Transport To Hospital
Previously we only had "Handed Over To Ambulance/Hospital" or "No Further Assistance", we now include "Self-Transport To Hospital". This is for people who you recommend continue on for further treatment so you know the outcome was requiring further medical attention or not.



Remain Mobile After Incident
As more response teams who join us provide mobile services such as ambulances and event cover we have added the ability to 'Remain Mobile' after an incident. This will rmove the requirement for a 'Return To Base' time to be recorded.



Add Resources on the Fly
You can now add resources on-the-fly when adding an incident. Just hit the little [Add] button in the Resource Type you want to add to. If your team is connected to an organisation you can now add your resources and tags under their types and bundles. If this is successful, we may move to allow adding Techniques (Tags) on-the-fly too.



On-Scene Co-ordinator
We'll add each resource you select at an incident, exercise, or event, to an On-Scene Co-ordinator select field. You can then select your choice, your own team, or no-one. This will allow us to compile stats further down the line based on the resources on-scene. It comes from the request of large organisations who needed to know who the coordinator / Incident Commander was when multiple teams attend.



Pre-Plan
We've added a text box for Pre-Plans on exercises and events - this is a space to type notes that will appear on pre-activity reports, but not post-activity. Things like meeting times, route choices, notes. Based on your feedback we might expand this area with the ability for a training officer to plan out and print out plans for training sessions. It's quite a big part we could expand on. Stay tuned.



Pre-Activity Report
This report is for printing out before you go on an non-emergency activity as a plan. You might need to take this with you or keep it in records. Some teams must fax these to a control room if they are exercising in the area so they know the resource is live (hint: we'll be adding electronic fax capability). Again - keep the feedback coming.





We've another release in the next few days with something new! Keep the feedback coming, either here in the comments, or through the Improve-It section. If you encounter a bug or need help, email support@decisionsforheroes.com.
