PROJECTED RELEASE DATE: August 30, 2023
What’s New in This Version
SOMA Global Version 57.1 includes these new features.
Monitor Layouts - Save Layout
As a Dispatcher, you can now update a Saved Monitor Layout rather than replacing it with a new one.
Copy Schema Component
Schema Administrators can now copy one schema component to another schema. At the bottom of each schema, you can now select a component to copy. You can then go to another schema and select the paste component. This allows system administrators to not have to rebuild the same component when creating a new schema.
Approval Notification to Submitter
Records/Jail users now receive a notification when a report they have submitted has been approved.
Error Message for Requiring a Specific Approver
When trying to submit an Incident Report for approval that requires a specific approver. Records/Jail users will now receive an error notifying them that a specific approver is required.
Allow for Group to Approve a Report Sent to an Individual
An Approval Group can now approve a report that has a specific approver designated. Only the person listed, as the specific approver, will receive the notification of a pending report to approve.
Flag for Email Notification of Approve/Reject Messages
Adds a flag to enable or disable emails during the approval process.
Flag for SMS Notifications Approve/Reject Messages
Adds a flag to the approve/reject component letting you turn on or off SMS notifications for the approval process.
Approval Workflow Email Notification
There is now an email notification alerting a specific user in the approval workflow that there is a pending report.
Schema Save and Save & Close Option
As a Schema Administrator, you can now Save a Schema without closing it in order to test your work rather than having to close and re-open the schema.
Add HIPAA Settings for Fire Call Types
Administrators now have control over whether the HIPAA restrictions will be utilized for Fire Call Types, so that when the restrictions feature is implemented it does not affect their agency unless they choose to proceed. The new setting is under Dispatch Settings.
Grouped Grid View Units
In Dispatch, units in the grid view of a unit column in Monitor can now be grouped according to AgencyID or Base, with the default being No grouping. Agencies can save this setting as part of their saved monitor layouts. A new button is available next to the list/grid mode button that appears when grid mode is enabled.
Secondary Call Type
A secondary call type can be turned on via Dispatch Setting. This allows for dispatchers to add a secondary call type. The secondary call type will be included on the call records & incident records in the record for reporting purposes.
Mobile Notifications for Dispatched Call
Mobile users will now receive a notification when they are dispatched to a call, are on a screen other than active call, and have the Remain on page on Dispatch setting turned on.
Agency Call Button More Evident
As a Dispatcher in Monitor, the Agency Calls buttons are now easier to see.
