New Feature Details

App Support - sending application logs and databases to Tablet Command Customer Support

In order to better support troubleshooting, the Tablet Command support team may request that a user send logs or data from the Tablet Command iOS application. This feature is accessible by tapping the configuration cog in the lower left of the application, and then "App Support". There you will find three new menu items: "Email Database to Tablet Command", "Share Database" and "Email Logs to Tablet Command".  

"Email Database to Tablet Command" will draft an email including the Tablet Command database that is stored locally on the device. "Share Database" allows a user to choose another method to export the Tablet Command database e.g. AirDrop or to another iOS application. Lastly, "Email Logs to Tablet Command" will draft an email that includes the Tablet Command application log files.

 

Place a pin at the incident location using “tap and hold” in the Create Incident Screen (text input still supported)

Users creating an incident manually can now tap and hold on the map to place the incident location.

Waze Navigation - requires Waze Application to be installed on the device

Users requested support for Waze for turn by turn navigation and Tablet Command has added this option. To enable Waze Navigation, you must install Waze for iOS on the device. Once installed, tap the configuration cog in the lower left corner of the application, select "Navigation", then choose "Waze". This will make Waze the default navigation application application for Tablet Command.

As a reminder, we support integration with the following navigation applications, Apple Maps, Google Maps, Waze, and Foreflight Mobile (https://foreflight.com/products/foreflight-mobile/) for our aviation customers using Tablet Command to respond to incidents.

 

Complex Status - Destination hospital and Complex Status - Out of service reason

Tablet Command can integrate with computer-aided dispatch (CAD) software to provide the unit status of responding, at-scene, available on radio, etc.  Additionally, Tablet Command can now send complex status back to CAD for status such as transport to a hospital and out of service. Complex status requires the user to choose hospital choice or out of service reason.  This feature may also require a CAD interface update by Tablet Command and/or the CAD vendor.

View unit status as color

For enterprise customers that have a 2 Way CAD integration, units on the map may now be displayed as a color that reflects current status. This feature requires configuration by a Tablet Command administrator using the web administration console.

View ten (10) prior incidents

From the Overview screen, users may now view prior incidents by tapping "Prior". This will show the last 10 incidents associated with this incident address to include incident date, type, and count of comments for that incident.  By tapping any of the prior incidents in the list will show the incident comments related to that incident. This feature may require a CAD interface update by Tablet Command and/or the CAD vendor.

View caller telephone number

When viewing an incident from the Overview screen a user may now view the caller number by tapping "Caller". This feature may require a CAD interface update by Tablet Command and/or the CAD vendor.
