• If you choose Custom, set the sort order for resources or specify they should be sorted alphabetically.

Configure the EMResource mobile app to show the view-specific status (associated with a color) instead of the resource type’s default status for that view.

For example, hospitals on an EMS view might be colored by emergency department status and hospitals on an MCI view might be colored by trauma surgeon availability. This feature only applies to the mobile app; web browsers still display the web-specific status color. For more information, refer to Mobile View Configuration.

Select to automatically include in the view any resource types that are added to the region in the future.

You can only specify this option for the originating region that is, the region you or another user was logged into when the new view was set up.
