Adding an Officer to a CAD Event
Once in Add-mode, information can be added in each text field by using the keyboard. The mouse or the TAB button on the keyboard can be used to navigate through the text fields.
To add an officer while in add or modify mode:
Using the keyboard’s TAB button, tab into Officer Assignment Area until “HOLD” is highlighted in the Unit # column or use the mouse to click into the Unit # cell.
Type in the desired unit number or select it from the drop-down menu.
Move the cursor into the Activity column by using the TAB button or the mouse. Type in the desired activity code or select it from the drop-down menu.
Move the cursor into the Dispatch column by using the TAB button or the mouse. Type a “t” into the Dispatch cell and press the TAB button to stamp the current time or type in the desired time using the keyboard. Repeat this procedure for each of the status columns.
Once the unit has been assigned and given status times (if needed) click the “Save” button or press the ENTER button.
When CAD is in read-only mode an officer can be added by right-clicking in the Officer Activity Area data grid and selecting “Add.”
Once an officer has been given the status of “Cleared” the Disposition list values will automatically appear. The disposition list values will only appear if a disposition has not been chosen for the call when the call is cleared.
