We've added 'Roles' to activity attendance today. You can add as many role types as you'd like, e.g. Incident Commander, Coxswain, Crew, Search Group Leader, Search Manager etc. Organizations can pre-populate these roles for all their teams e.g. the Incident Command System roles. Roles can be added on-the-fly once attendance has been selected.
We've also added 'Guests' where you'll get the opportunity to add extras to your activity. This is important to track numbers of people who are not in your D4H system. e.g. a boat or helicopter had 6 On-Board but D4H only shows 4 as 2 were not team members. You may use this to record any people under your command who you wish to register in the attendance.
Here's what the attendance now looks like. Here you can see one member had a dog with them also.
We'll be adding intelligence analytics on the roles at a later date once teams have created enough data to be worthwhile. Of course we'll track things like how many times you've trained as a Search Manager vs Incidents as one.
Note: At present you cannot delete roles or edit spelling mistakes, so be careful what you add! We want to see the feedback we get first to see how they are used. We have the option of creating ICS style role trees, or simple situation lists. There is also the possibility of compliance roles e.g. you must assign a Safety Officer role at all incidents.

This is a great step, thank you!
It would be great if we could (1) choose roles of individuals that have been invited, but have not responded, so that folks could see the role that they are being asked to play; and (2) tie roles to qualifications, so that we can designate that an activity (for example) requires one coxswain and two crew, thereby enabling us to get a "go/no-go" report prior to the mission telling us if we have the proper people in the proper roles.

Great idea. Ticket opened.

Got this covered in a future release :-)

I really like the BETA equipment module, adding items now. Is there a way to export/import from a spreadsheet - is there a spreadsheet template which shows the overall structure?

Chris - there should be a list at the start of the beta section of the things we are working on. Bulk upload/editing is one of those, yes. Hopefully you can just send it a file and it'll upload everything. We're rolling it out in stages so we get good feedback on it.
-Robin.
