1. At the bottom of the spreadsheet, click the Units tab.

   The Units worksheet appears.

   

2. In the Unit Name column, for each unit your department maintains, type a unit name on a new line.

   Note: Any names you enter in the Unit Name column become available in drop-down menu lists in other worksheets.

   Caution: If you plan to import FH Medic data into the FIREHOUSE Software database, the value in Unit Name must match the lookup code in FIREHOUSE Software for the unit.

   Example: If the FIREHOUSE Software lookup code for an ambulance you are adding in FH Medic is E303, then you must enter E303 in Unit Name.

   Information on determining the lookup code for a unit in FIREHOUSE Software is available in the Determine unit lookup codes.
