Custom Status Boards

Inside FVCAD you can build status boards and assign them to specific users. These status boards will appear on the dashboard as defined in the CAD. This how-to will walk you through it step-by-step.

First we will create a new layout that will have the status boards we want on it. Then assign that layout for the dashboard to the appropriate users. You can make as many of these as you want with as many different users. *Note that each user can only be assigned one layout, but that layout can contain as many or as few status boards as you choose. This will make more sense as we go through the process.

Instructions

1. Go to View in the menu and select ‘New Window’, then ‘New’ as pictured below.
   1. This will allow you to make modifications in a new window and safe the layout with  
   2. Now you need to build the status boards you desire and assign them to the layout
      1. Settings → Status Boards
      2. There are three different types of status boards you can build; Request, Patient, Crew. Choose the appropriate one for your needs.
      3. Request Status Board (each status board options are similar but the field options will be specific to the type of status board that you choose)
         1. After you choose what type of status board you are building, you need to name it.
         2. After you name the status board, you will see that status board show up, click on it to start building it to fit your needs.
         3. The following screen will appear after you double click on the named status board
         4. When you click on the green add button, you will see a list of possible fields you can add to this status board, the top being custom where you can add a custom field (with some restrictions)
         5. Selecting custom will look like the image below. You can name it, the text will be the common expressionator seen throughout the CAD. You can also choose a text color and background.
         6. Using the following in the filter for the status board will only display requests that are of call type Interfacility or Scene. You can choose the type of filter, if any you would like for yours.
      4. After you have built all the status boards that you desire, then you will need to assign them to the desired layouts.
         1. Click ctrl+right-click at the same time to add your status board
         2. You will then get the following screen that will show you all of the status board options you have available to you.
            1. Make sure that you save your layout before you continue with the appropriate name for the dashboard you are creating.
         3. A few things to keep in mind as you are creating your layout for dashboards.
            1. If you remove the assets from the layout, the default assets that show on the dashboard will no longer show.
            2. If you remove the requests from the layout, then you will no longer see the default request section on the dashboard
            3. If when creating a user group for the dashboard you remove the reporting ability, then the reporting option will no longer show at the bottom of the dashboard.
         4. Creating a dashboard user group
            1. Go to Settings → User Groups
            2. If you want the user to just be able to view the dashboard, make sure that you select only ‘Dashboard’ in the ‘Log in to:’ section.
            3. If you want the user group to have access to the custom built reports within your CAD, then check mark the box next to ‘Can Report’. If you don’t want the reporting option, then don’t check that box.
            4. At the bottom right corner, you will need to select the layout you want to associate with this dashboard user group. Remember, these are the layouts created from above.
            5. Lastly create the users and associate them with the dashboard user group
               1. Go to Settings → Users
               2. Inside the user, make sure you select the appropriate type, notice here it is defaulted to ‘Administrator’  

The Dashboard is a great way to view what is going on within your organization and pull designated reports without logging into the CAD itself.
