Reports

Report types and forms

The eleven law enforcement forms and eleven fire and EMS forms, what each adds to the document, and how your department decides which set you get.

Two form families exist. Your department's service type decides which you get. Fire / EMS gives the fire and EMS set. Any other service type gives the law enforcement set.

Each form includes a code shown next to its name in the REPORT TYPE dropdown and on the report list.

Sections every report includes

Both families include a control block at the top and a certification block at the bottom.

Law enforcement reports also always include "Persons Involved". Most law enforcement forms add "Offenses / Charges / Violations", "Vehicles Involved" and "Evidence, Property, and Attachments"; the TRAFFIC ACCIDENT form carries its own "Involved Cars" and "Persons and Injuries" sections in their place.

Fire and EMS reports always include "Dispatch and Response Timeline", "Property, Occupancy, and Responsible Party", "Vehicles Involved", "Responding Apparatus, Units, and Personnel" and the casualties and damage section.

Row limits

The repeating sections each hold a fixed number of rows. Reaching the limit opens a REPORT LIMIT dialog reading "This section is limited to N entries." for that section.

Changing type on a draft

Changing the report type changes which sections are shown. Content entered into a section that is no longer shown is not part of the document.
