DISPATCH
Saved Monitor View - Dispatch - Save Reorder
Audience: Dispatchers and Mobile Users
As a Dispatcher or Mobile User, you are able to reorder your screen layouts and save those changes, so the order of your preference will be displayed by selecting the Hamburger Menu and then the Monitor option from the application. This new feature will help organize your layouts to handle calls in a much faster fashion.
Saved Monitor View - Dispatch - Open Layout In New Tab
Audience: Dispatchers and Mobile Users
As a Dispatcher or Mobile User, you can open different layouts in multiple tabs. This feature allows you to save multiple layouts and open them in separate tabs. You can do this by selecting the Hamburger Menu, the Monitor option from the application, and saving your layouts. This new feature will help keep different layouts open when handling calls or performing other duties.
Command Dispatch Unit En Route
Audience: Dispatchers
As a Dispatcher, you can now dispatch units to calls and set up their statues via Command Line (i.e., DU ER <callnumber> <unitnumber>). This new feature will let you utilize your time more effectively since you can perform those changes from the Command Line while handling calls.
Saved Monitor View - Manage List Reorder
