5.6.12 Release Notes

These Release Notes are for FH CAD Monitor release 5.6.12 and provide a listing of the enhancements implemented during this release.

Note: FH CAD Monitor requires FIREHOUSE Software 7.9.14 or FHnet 2.0.18.08 or later.

The following enhancements were implemented during this release.

If you import CAD data from Medic NXT, FH CAD Monitor can now mark an incident as complete if the incident meets certain criteria.

To support automatic completion of the incident, in the FIREHOUSE Software CAD Monitor Options dialog box, on the System2 tab, the Medic NXT Integration section now appears, with options for managing record completion.

If you select Auto Complete Incident, the fields listed below must contain valid data.

  • FDID
  • Incident Number
  • Address Type
  • Vicinity
  • Street Address
  • Aid Given
  • Specific Prop Use
  • Incident Type
  • First Arv at Scene
  • Last Clr Scene
  • Actions Taken

If you select Require incident type '321' for Completion, the incident type must be 321 and the fields listed above must contain valid data.

Information on these options is available in Specify system settings.

(Printrak Motorola Premier CAD) You can now specify whether to check for new records from Printrak since the last time FH CAD Monitor checked, or whether to check through all available Printrack records, regardless of date or time.

In the FIREHOUSE Software CAD Monitor Options dialog box, on the General tab, the new Poll Query Start Time section appears.

Information on these options is available in Configure general FH CAD Monitor.

When FH CAD Monitor imports an incident in FIREHOUSE Software, it can now use the default schedule in FIREHOUSE Software to pull the current on-duty shift code into any new incident.

Note: The following settings are required to support this feature.

  • In FIREHOUSE Software:

    • In the Workstation Options dialog box, on the Scheduling tab, under Real Time Links. you must select Real-time link with Station Roster.
    • In the Station Roster & Availability dialog box, on the Unit Roster and Availability Roster tabs, you must specify the available units and personnel.

  • In FH CAD Monitor:

    • On the Filters & Data tab, you must click Field Mapping, then in the Field Mapping dialog box that appears, Shift in the FH Field(s) column must map to the default shift value from your CAD system.

      Example: If your CAD system exports generic XML files, in FH CAD Monitor, Shift in the FH Field(s) column must map to Shift in the Default Field Mapping column.

      Example: If your CAD system exports generic ASCII files, in FH CAD Monitor, Shift in the FH Field(s) column must map to INCI_FLD_40 in the Default Field Mapping column.

      If the default mapping is not in the corresponding field, staff shift value does not import.

To support this new feature, in the FIREHOUSE Software CAD Monitor Options dialog box, on the System1 tab, the Query Personnel section, the Query Shift from Schedule Personnel option now appears.

Note: You must select From FH Schedule to activate Query Shift from Schedule Personnel.

Information on this option is available in Specify system settings.

The following issue was resolved during this release.

Note: This issue occurred only in integrations between FIREHOUSE Software 7 and FH CAD Monitor.

If you had set up filters in the CAD Data dialog box in earlier versions of FH CAD Monitor, then updated to 5.3.78, an error appeared and the filters had been removed.
