Organize forms needed for the incident

FH Mobile Response ships with a library of standard forms that you can add to an incident as needed. You can create a file structure for National Incident Management System (NIMS) or other PDF forms in the incident, and organize it as needed.

Note: You must have purchased FH Mobile Response Premium to organize forms for an incident in FH Mobile Response. For information on upgrading from FH Mobile Response Basic to Premium, 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 Forms sub-tab.

    The sub-tab appears, listing any forms already assigned to the incident. By default, the sub-tab is blank.

    Note: If the Forms 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. Click the Forms file cabinet icon.

    The buttons across the top of the sub-tab activate.

  4. Do any of the following.

    ClosedAdd a folder to contain logical groupings of forms

    1. Click New Folder.

      If this is the first folder you have added to the Forms sub-tab, a plus sign (expansion icon) appears to the left of Forms.

    2. Either click Open, or click the expansion icon to the left of Forms.

      The sub-tab updates to show the location of the hierarchy of the new folder.

      You can rename this folder, and add form documents to it, as described below.

      Tip: You can also create folders inside of folders, by selecting a folder before clicking New Folder. The same plus sign (expansion icon) appears in front of folders containing documents or other folders.
