Creating New Reports

An incident owner or incident editor can create new reports that contain a variety of decision and/or incident content that a user selects. WFDSS offers three types of reports for users to create:

• Custom reports contain decision and/or incident content that a user selects.
• Management Action Point Reports contain one or more M.A.P.s and associated images, as well as any other decision and/or incident content a user wants to add.
• Delegation of Authority reports that are developed based on a template you create, or copy from the list of available templates.

Once a report is created, it is saved to the Reports List where it can be accessed for editing and eventually publishing. Once published, report content is permanently locked and can be downloaded and printed. Report content that contains content not yet published in a decision can be be downloaded as a draft .PDF for viewing or sharing.

If you need to modify the name of a report after its been created, you can do so by clicking View Information/History on the Decisions page. The name of a report cannot be modified once it is published.

All report types can be customized and allow users to add relevent decision content to meet the user's needs. Examples of report contents are:

• Management Action Points for Operations and inbriefs
• Incident Objectives and Requirements for inbriefings
• Fire Behavior Summary
• Risk Assessment Summary

The above items can be combined to create a large, customized inbriefing report.

To create a custom report:

1. From the Incident list, select the incident > click View Information. The Edit Information page appears.
2. Select the Reports tab. The Reports list appears.
3. If you wish to create a new report, click Create.
4. Enter a Report Name.
5. Choose Custom Report Type to automatically format your report, and then click Create.
6. Review the Report Name for accuracy, if edits to the Report Name are necessary, make those edits and then click Save.
7. Click Return to navigate back to the Report List.
8. From the Reports List you can view, edit, create and download a draft for or publish a report. You can edit reports that show a status of Available. Once reports are published, they can no longer be edited.
