SOMA Global Release 43.1 Release Notes

Audience: System Users

As a system admin, you can see the “Bases” in the list on the sidebar in the Admin application, if enabled for your agency and within the Groups permission. To see the bases, you need to go to the sidebar, click on settings, then to dispatch. After you click on dispatch, you will see any “Bases” you have created in the list. When you click on a “Base” in the list, the system will open an Edit dialog for the “Base”. When you click on the plus sign up on the right side of the screen to make a new base, you will have to give it a name, description and a Command Line abbreviation. This new addition will help you as a system admin create and manage bases of operation that can then be used within the Dispatch application for unit management.

*This requires a to have the Admin - Dispatch settings in the system: "Bases" be turned on. See below:

Audience: Dispatchers

As a dispatcher, when you clear a scheduled call, the call now disappears from the ArcGIS and SOMA layer in a few seconds. This improvement allows you to have a more accurate scheduled call display while utilizing the SOMA map layer for a more effective and efficient response.

Audience: Dispatchers

As a dispatcher, you can notice that we fixed the incident reports from the recent calls so the owner’s/user’s name is now displayed in the dialogue box. For example, this improvement is beneficial if you need information about a call. So, you can directly contact the owner of the incident report to obtain specific information to better handle calls.
