Set Up the District Status Board Industry Board icon

Industry boards require a license key to import. Once they are imported, they cannot be exported. Contact your Client Success Manager (CSM) for more information.

To begin using the District Status Board, first set it up, then configure the status fields.

Status fields in the District Status solution define the operational state of critical infrastructure components like staff, equipment, power, and communications. Users can configure and customize these fields to better align with their operations, ensuring real-time visibility, accurate reporting, and consistent situational awareness during incidents or district-wide disruptions.

  1. Import the board.

  2. Create a feature group and assign the board to the feature group for user access.

  3. When you add or edit the board for a feature group, enter this information.
