Set and clear weather data as default for an incident or element (type)

When there are multiple sets of weather data published for an incident, you may want to specify one of the data sets as the default weather for the incident, or an element (type) associated with the incident. This can prevent confusion among other FH Mobile Response clients on the same server, who may open the incident or element and view the weather information.

Information on publishing a weather source is available in Publish and unpublish weather information for an incident or element (type).

Note: You must have purchased FH Mobile Response Premium to work with weather information in FH Mobile Response. For information on upgrading from FH Mobile Response Basic to Premium, contact your FH sales representative.
