1
00:00:00,039 --> 00:00:03,630
Useful statuses let the department tell
the difference between a resource

2
00:00:03,630 --> 00:00:07,409
that can accept work and a resource that
is already doing something.

3
00:00:07,980 --> 00:00:11,130
Open the department menu and Custom
Statuses.

4
00:00:11,550 --> 00:00:15,600
The page separates unit status sets,
personnel actions, and

5
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:17,079
personnel staffing levels.

6
00:00:17,559 --> 00:00:21,930
Unit status sets describe vehicles,
apparatus or field resources.

7
00:00:22,360 --> 00:00:25,079
Personnel actions describe what a person
is doing.

8
00:00:25,459 --> 00:00:28,329
Staffing describes whether that person is
available.

9
00:00:28,790 --> 00:00:33,150
A security patrol can be available while
On Patrol; a search volunteer

10
00:00:33,150 --> 00:00:37,959
can be unavailable for deployment even if
the last activity says Standing By.

11
00:00:38,419 --> 00:00:41,700
Avoid trying to answer all those questions
with one label.

12
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,580
The Chicago Fire names are simply our
synthetic demo roster.

13
00:00:46,020 --> 00:00:50,069
These status concepts also serve mobile
response, search and rescue,

14
00:00:50,290 --> 00:00:53,130
security, wildland and industrial teams.

15
00:00:53,339 --> 00:00:55,389
Choose Add Unit Statuses.

16
00:00:55,859 --> 00:01:00,220
Resgrid offers starting templates for
ambulance, fire, law enforcement,

17
00:01:00,399 --> 00:01:04,830
search and rescue, general response,
disaster response, security,

18
00:01:04,979 --> 00:01:06,960
industrial fleets and logistics.

19
00:01:07,330 --> 00:01:10,259
Pick the one that fits the resource’s
actual lifecycle.

20
00:01:10,710 --> 00:01:16,509
We choose Search and Rescue, name the set
Training, S A R Field Team, and rename

21
00:01:16,509 --> 00:01:19,210
Searching to Searching assigned area.

22
00:01:19,620 --> 00:01:22,890
Templates prefill options; they do not
save the set.

23
00:01:23,359 --> 00:01:27,189
You can review labels, colors and ordering
before clicking Add.

24
00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:29,910
The saved set contains eight options.

25
00:01:30,309 --> 00:01:34,899
A security company can start from Security
and use On Patrol and Investigating.

26
00:01:35,300 --> 00:01:39,219
An industrial team can use fleet and
equipment states such as Maintenance.

27
00:01:39,620 --> 00:01:42,969
A mobile response team can use a reviewed
response lifecycle.

28
00:01:43,349 --> 00:01:47,270
A wildland contractor can use staging and
response states appropriate

29
00:01:47,270 --> 00:01:48,930
to its crews and apparatus.

30
00:01:49,159 --> 00:01:51,070
Inspect an option’s Base Type.

31
00:01:51,590 --> 00:01:54,219
Searching has the meaning of actively
searching an

32
00:01:54,219 --> 00:01:56,449
assigned area, sector or grid.

33
00:01:56,909 --> 00:01:59,390
A clearer button label can preserve that
meaning.

34
00:01:59,880 --> 00:02:03,880
Choosing None creates an informational
state without that system meaning.

35
00:02:04,349 --> 00:02:07,730
A label that says Ready should not be
assigned an Unavailable

36
00:02:07,730 --> 00:02:12,050
meaning, and an attractive green button is
not evidence of readiness.

37
00:02:12,460 --> 00:02:15,919
Review color contrast and use meaningful
text so members do

38
00:02:15,919 --> 00:02:17,939
not have to rely on color alone.

39
00:02:18,519 --> 00:02:22,779
This build exposed an option-edit issue:
changing the note and destination

40
00:02:22,779 --> 00:02:26,759
requirements and clicking Update returned
to the list, but reopening

41
00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:28,590
the option showed the old values.

42
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,329
We recorded that limitation and do not
call the edit successful.

43
00:02:32,770 --> 00:02:36,230
The next part demonstrates recording the
requirements during creation,

44
00:02:36,450 --> 00:02:38,140
then checking the saved result.

45
00:02:38,269 --> 00:02:41,980
Use Start from Blank to build the
Training, Field Response set.

46
00:02:42,479 --> 00:02:44,839
Add Option opens the option dialog.

47
00:02:45,310 --> 00:02:49,189
Our first option is Ready for assignment
with the Available base

48
00:02:49,189 --> 00:02:53,179
meaning, a dark green background, white
text and an optional note.

49
00:02:53,620 --> 00:02:57,500
Our second is Searching assigned area with
Searching meaning.

50
00:02:57,930 --> 00:03:01,610
We choose Calls as its detail type,
Required for its note

51
00:03:01,610 --> 00:03:04,039
type, and Require G P S.

52
00:03:04,449 --> 00:03:08,299
These controls express different
requirements: the detail supplies a

53
00:03:08,299 --> 00:03:13,230
destination such as an incident; the note
supplies context; the location

54
00:03:13,230 --> 00:03:16,409
requirement supplies a position where
supported by the client.

55
00:03:16,809 --> 00:03:20,390
A search team might record the assigned
area and team accountability.

56
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:24,379
A security patrol might record the site or
investigation reference.

57
00:03:24,839 --> 00:03:28,149
Keep mobile response notes within approved
operational-record

58
00:03:28,149 --> 00:03:32,490
procedures; a required note is not an
invitation to place sensitive

59
00:03:32,490 --> 00:03:34,830
clinical detail in every status update.

60
00:03:35,010 --> 00:03:39,050
Our third option is Unavailable,
maintenance, with the Unavailable

61
00:03:39,050 --> 00:03:40,800
meaning and a required note.

62
00:03:41,210 --> 00:03:44,539
This makes an equipment defect visible
without suggesting that the

63
00:03:44,539 --> 00:03:46,579
resource remains ready for dispatch.

64
00:03:46,989 --> 00:03:51,330
Set the order to zero, one and two so
Ready, Searching and

65
00:03:51,359 --> 00:03:53,140
Unavailable appear predictably.

66
00:03:53,619 --> 00:03:57,480
Adding an option to the dialog’s table is
still an unsaved change.

67
00:03:57,820 --> 00:04:00,859
Click Add on the main form to save the
entire set.

68
00:04:01,289 --> 00:04:04,550
The application returns to Custom Statuses
and shows the

69
00:04:04,550 --> 00:04:06,500
three-option Field Response set.

70
00:04:06,939 --> 00:04:09,000
Review that result before assigning it.

71
00:04:09,469 --> 00:04:13,379
For an industrial response team, this
pattern can keep defective equipment

72
00:04:13,480 --> 00:04:15,320
out of normal readiness assumptions.

73
00:04:15,689 --> 00:04:19,520
For wildland or search teams, it can
distinguish staging and active

74
00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:21,210
work from unavailable equipment.

75
00:04:21,629 --> 00:04:25,509
More options are useful only if members
can select them consistently.

76
00:04:25,730 --> 00:04:29,960
A new unit status set needs to be assigned
before a unit can use it.

77
00:04:30,370 --> 00:04:34,740
Open Types, find the Rescue unit type, and
choose Field Response

78
00:04:34,799 --> 00:04:37,360
under Actions, Custom Unit Statuses.

79
00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:38,740
Save the assignment.

80
00:04:39,259 --> 00:04:42,569
This changes the status choices for every
unit that uses the

81
00:04:42,569 --> 00:04:44,190
Rescue type in this department.

82
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:46,940
Squad Three is our example rescue unit.

83
00:04:47,399 --> 00:04:50,790
Reopen its status picker and check that
Ready for assignment,

84
00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,589
Searching assigned area, and Unavailable
maintenance are present.

85
00:04:55,110 --> 00:04:58,180
For a security department, you might
assign a patrol status

86
00:04:58,180 --> 00:04:59,950
set to its patrol vehicle type.

87
00:05:00,389 --> 00:05:03,549
For an industrial team, separate equipment
types can use

88
00:05:03,549 --> 00:05:05,209
different operational choices.

89
00:05:05,689 --> 00:05:09,880
A type assignment changes the available
choices for all units of that type.

90
00:05:10,330 --> 00:05:13,279
Changing one unit's current status affects
that unit.

91
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:15,520
Select Searching assigned area.

92
00:05:15,990 --> 00:05:19,539
The destination picker now includes the
active training calls because

93
00:05:19,539 --> 00:05:21,460
Calls was recorded at creation.

94
00:05:21,889 --> 00:05:25,379
We choose the vehicle rescue exercise and
enter an accountability

95
00:05:25,379 --> 00:05:27,179
note for assigned area Alpha.

96
00:05:27,599 --> 00:05:28,410
Click Save.

97
00:05:28,820 --> 00:05:32,110
The unit list now displays Searching
assigned area with a

98
00:05:32,110 --> 00:05:33,849
new timestamp for Squad Three.

99
00:05:34,290 --> 00:05:36,370
That is the observed saved result.

100
00:05:36,679 --> 00:05:40,669
The web path shown here does not
demonstrate a device G P S capture

101
00:05:40,710 --> 00:05:44,069
or all mobile-client enforcement, so we do
not claim that it

102
00:05:44,069 --> 00:05:45,639
proves the location requirement.

103
00:05:46,089 --> 00:05:49,409
Test the member and unit apps your
department uses, including

104
00:05:49,409 --> 00:05:53,490
missing notes, unavailable location
permission and offline conditions.

105
00:05:53,850 --> 00:05:58,229
A saved status is a declaration of
activity; it does not prove the team

106
00:05:58,229 --> 00:06:03,040
completed a search, reached a subject, or
has an independently verified position.

107
00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:06,410
Personnel actions and staffing have
separate template entry

108
00:06:06,410 --> 00:06:08,069
points on the original page.

109
00:06:08,480 --> 00:06:13,220
Before replacing either department-wide
set, review existing reset targets,

110
00:06:13,359 --> 00:06:17,090
suppression selections, dispatch
transitions and member training.

111
00:06:17,649 --> 00:06:21,519
For community paramedicine or mental
health response, use approved

112
00:06:21,560 --> 00:06:26,029
operational states such as En route to
visit or Contact made, with

113
00:06:26,029 --> 00:06:27,630
meanings appropriate to the work.

114
00:06:28,050 --> 00:06:31,769
For search and rescue, use Searching and
Subject Contact.

115
00:06:32,179 --> 00:06:35,799
For security, use On Patrol and
Investigating.

116
00:06:36,220 --> 00:06:40,450
For wildland contractors, use Staging,
Responding and Returning.

117
00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:44,630
For industrial teams, distinguish response
activity from equipment

118
00:06:44,630 --> 00:06:46,190
Maintenance and Unavailable.

119
00:06:46,740 --> 00:06:50,409
Your practice exercise is to create a
small set in a training department,

120
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:55,380
explain each option’s meaning, assign it
to the intended unit type, save a

121
00:06:55,380 --> 00:06:57,659
real update and verify its display.

122
00:06:58,089 --> 00:07:02,330
Record any client behavior that still
needs an operational test and assign the

123
00:07:02,330 --> 00:07:04,359
next review to the responsible person.
