Incident Management

Incident Reporting

We've added the ability to sync the situation from your Incident Management account to your Incident Reporting account.

Once the synchronization is set up, a new report will be created in Incident Reporting every time a channel is started in Incident Management unless otherwise specified.

Connect your D4H Incident Reporting Team under General Settings. You will then be able to map fields between the products by navigating to Incident Management > Admin Area > Settings > D4H Products Integration and turn on Incident data synchronization.

If you previously pushed reports from Incident Management over to Incident Reporting, you will need to reconnect your accounts in the Admin Area.

When you next open any of our apps, it will use the biometric authentication on your device, your FaceID (facial recognition), or TouchID (fingerprint) to verify it is you using the app. This will work on Android and iOS.

Unlocking the app not only verifies it is you using your device in-person but also un-encrypts your credentials to communicate with D4H when sending or receiving information.

If you switch to another app, we will lock the screen of the app so nobody can see an old screen in your task manager, and is unable to switch back without re-validating by biometric authentication.

If biometric sensors are unavailable the app will revert to a PIN. If you fail more than 3 times to biometrically authenticate the system will ask for your PIN. If you lock yourself out, you can sign-out and back in to re-encrypt your credentials.

You can turn-on or opt-out of Biometric Authentication at sign-in. To enable, sign-out and then sign-in again.

Equipment Management

Our Equipment Expiry Report is now available at Organization level too.

To access it, visit Intelligence > Reports > Create New > Equipment Items in your parent organization.

We've also added the option to filter Expiry Date to Any at both Team and Organization levels so you can export a report of all equipment, not just items expiring.

All reports can be exported and downloaded as a spreadsheet.

Personnel Training

• We have added a parameter include_custom_fields to the list Members endpoint. This will return in bulk the custom field data for each member rather than querying individually:
  • GET /v2/members?include_custom_fields=true (see documentation).
• We have added an id_tag parameter to Members which will be used to store an RFID or Barcode against that member in our mobile app:
  • GET /v2/members (see documentation).
  • GET /v2/members/{member_id} (see documentation).
  • PUT /v2/members/{member_id} (see documentation).
• We have added an endpoint to check if the RFID/Barcode is unique across the entire organization and team, excluding the member you are looking up.
  • GET /team/members/{member_id}/id-tag/{id_tag} (see documentation).

Personnel Training

We've added absent hours reporting to a few of our spreadsheet exports.

On the report at Intelligence > Reports > Create New Report > Attendance we've included two new columns, a Total Absent Duration, and a % Duration Attended column for each member of personnel in the time range.

On the individual attendance report for a member in Planning > Members > View Member Profile > View All Activity we now include activities they were absent for in the spreadsheet export along with the duration they were absent for. Previously this only showed attended activities in the spreadsheet.

We're over on support@d4h.org if you've got any questions.

Personnel Training

We've improved the templates used for notifying you of expiring soon or recently expired qualifications. They are now designed to be mobile friendly and use Green Amber Red (GAR) signaling colors to let you know the urgency of the email. Red for expired, amber for warning.

The emails will now only send if you have not since renewed the same qualification extending it out further into the future.

Incident Management

You can now set yellow and white colors from our color palette when annotating the map.

Equipment Management

When checking what equipment is about to expire, you now have the option to download a spreadsheet of your data.

This export includes the quantities and cost of each item, so you can plan ahead by budget period to see what needs replacing.

If you'd like a PDF of the same data, you can access it in Intelligence > Reports > Equipment Items where you can build a more specific report including current status and location filters.
