Set Up the Incident Creator DS Board Standard Icon

  • You must import the DS (DesignStudio) version of this board as a new board instead of overwriting the non-DS version.

  • Modifying field names or making changes to the DS code views could cause board errors.

  • The DS version of this board has subtle UI differences and does not include some of the advanced features available in the Standard board, such as:

    • The Contacts selector (this board uses the Notifications Recipients picker when creating an Incident).

    • The Contacts tab.

    • Advanced search capabilities.

It is not recommended to edit or remove fields on the Incident Creator DS board. If modifications are needed, add new fields instead. Due to the board’s complexity, changes to existing fields can break functionality.

You can use the Incident Creator DS Board as is, or customize it in DesignStudio.

To ensure that the board customizations work as expected:

  1. Set up the board in WebEOC Nexus.

  2. Set up the board in DesignStudio.
