View resource assignments for the incident

Resources are anything that your unit or department uses to deal with incidents, such as vehicles, equipment and personnel. If a CAD system sends an incident that contains resource assignment information, you can view that information on the incident's Resources sub-tab.

For information on upgrading from FH Mobile Response Basic to Premium or Command Post, contact your FH sales representative.

1. (If an incident is not already open) Open an incident, as described in Open an incident.

2. Click the incident's Resources sub-tab.

   The sub-tab appears, listing the units and other department resources assigned to the incident.

   

   Note: If the Resources sub-tab does not appear, it may be hidden through a configuration setting in FH Mobile Response. Information on displaying or hiding the Summary sub-tab is available in Display or hide incident sub-tabs.

3. (Optional) Display the location of a resource on the most recently used Map tab.

   1. Select the listing of the resource you want to locate on the map.

   2. In the lower left corner of the tab, click Show Locations.

      The Map tab appears, showing the location of the selected resource as an icon.

      

      Tip: You can configure FH Mobile Response to display additional information with the resource icon, such as ETA, status colors, an arrow showing the driving direction, and so forth.

      Information on configuring FH Mobile Response to display AVL presentation and transmission information is available in Configure AVL presentation on the map and Configure automatic vehicle location (AVL) transmissions.

4. (Optional, if a resource appears in the hierarchy under another resource) Move the hierarchically lower resource to the primary level (the "root" level) of the hierarchy.

   In FH Mobile Response Command Post, on the Resources sub-tab, you can "drag and drop" one resource onto another, creating a hierarchy of resources and indicating relationships between them.

   

   Example: A department has every firefighter identified as a resource, and all vehicles are identified as resources. For an incident, several of the firefighters might be assigned to a single unit. You can "drag and drop" the firefighter resources into the vehicle resource they are riding in to the incident. The results appear on the Resource sub-tab list as the firefighters listed under that unit.

   In FH Mobile Response Premium, you can move a resource back to the root level of the list.

   1. Select the hierarchically lower resource in the list.

   2. Below the list of resources, click Move Item to Root.

      The item moves to the same level in the list as the other items.
