Team Status Not Fitting Our Needs

[rbonuchi@plainfieldema.or]

As a municipal EMA, our members often go out in one of 15 squad cars or trucks.  Generally these vehicles have multiple members in them.  They're either doing traffic control for an auto accident, weather spotting, parade management, SAR, etc.  When we send them out, they will often be back in 2-3 hours for rest, member change out, etc.  The TEAMS tab doesn't really support what we do with our squad cars very well.  Beyond the team status of; En-ROUTE, On SCENE, ....we'd like to have: RETURNING, REASSIGNED, etc, so we can track squads coming to and from the garage for multiple purposes.  We'd like to be able to change out the occupants during these status.  Suggestions?

Thank you,

Two new team statuses have been added "Reassigned" and "Returning".  Team Members can be changed while a team is set to one of these statuses.

Note: you may need to refresh the teams page (F5) to see these changes.

Works well Mike, thank you.  Just what we needed.

Since we use the phrase "on the scene" for status (over the radio) as status when the squad car gets to the scene, we'll start using the "On Assignment" status in MM when that car actually gets a task assigned.  Sometimes you have people and squads on the scene with no assignment.

Thank you for your quick response and understanding our needs.
