App Release 3.19.0
New Features
Users will now have to use their email address to log into the app. Users can have the same email address used between different stations still.
Updated the password reset function for users and improved the app experience.
Removed the app users ability to change their username.
Removed the user’s last name from the dashboard. Really long names were throwing off the formatting. And besides, you know who you are.
Bug Fixes
Corrected an issue where users were creating Station News, but the app was not allowing a widget to be selected.
Web Release 3.9.0
New Features
The user password experience received a much needed face lift where security was improved, along with how a station administrator can reset a user’s password or send their enrollment email.
Users are now prompted with a time-sensitive email and web session that will allow them to reset their password instead of a new password being sent to them.
All users MUST require an email for registration.
Last Incident Widget now has an option to show the remarks or not. Some jurisdictions need remarks NOT to show.
Stations who belong to a Parent Station will show their Parent Station on the dashboard.
The Weather API has been updated, and now even more information can be shared on the station display. The AQIor Air Quality Index, is now shown on each theme statically.
0-50 = Good (GREEN)
51-100 = Moderate (YELLOW)
101-150 = Unhealthy for Sensitive Groups (ORANGE)
151-200 = Unhealthy (RED)
201-300 = Very Unhealthy (PURPLE)
301-500 = Hazardous (MAROON)
501-1000 = Very Hazardous (BROWN/BLACK)
Bug Fixes
Corrected the URL for Out-of-Service Apparatus.
Improvements
Continued to improve various queries and database tables.
Continued to improve logging capabilities.
Updated the Mid-Atlantic Region MIEMSS Hospital Status to use the new data from the organization.
Making an event shows the required fields and added tooltips.
Improved the user login experience with error feedback instead of “Service Failure.”
Bug Fixes
Users within multiple branches are now directed to the correct information when clicking on the notification. Users will be in the correct dashboard when viewing incident details.
Web Release 3.10.1
Bug Fixes
Corrected an issue with adding an event that happened under the hood with a null value.
Added some website redirects that were missing from some of the project folders.
Cleaned up the apparatus section of the web portal including improvements to the service history and how it can be viewed.
Within the web portal now, station admins can select which apparatus can be seen in the app for users to subscribe to.
Cleaned up the apparatus picture storage and eliminated duplicate file names. Some photos of apparatus may need new photos uploaded.
App users can begin signing into the app with their email address. The username will soon will be deprecated.
The weather radar widget setup now includes a zip code lookup and map preview of the level of zoom that is desired to be displayed. Big quality of life improvement.
Increased security and information request between the app and the web. Some users will need to update their app to the latest version if they haven’t already.
If you are a station within the state boundaries of MD or PA or VA or DC or WV or DE, a new widget is available to be configured for the MIEMSS hospital status. The organization is transitioning to a new method of displaying information, so changes may need to occur along the way. But now users can select which hospitals they would like to see on the station display and include that hospitals status.
Huge feature here – Station News widget sharing. An APS admin must work with the station admin to assign Parent/Child station connections, but once that is done, any child station can now display the news widgets from the parent station. This is huge that one station can now display and make changes from a central location for the district to see.
Web Bug Fixes:
Corrected a visual issue within incident details and the incident history. Added some styling to better see what changed between updates.
Corrected the Last Incident widget and how incident pictures are displayed. Also increased the font size for the displays and added scrolling for this widget.
Fixed a sync issue between the station’s alerting controller and how it didn’t sync the CAD/Status/Transfer groups correctly.
When a station user is marked inactive, their phone token is now removed from the records until they are marked active and sign back into the app.
Corrected a bug when doing a bulk import of station users and sending the welcome emails.
