6.3 Release New Functionality and Enhancements

6.3 Release will be deployed on Production on 11/14/2018

New Functionality and Enhancements

• Subscribing to Planning Area Notifications
  • From the account system preferences page, some WFDSS user roles (Viewer, Dispatcher, Author, GA Editor, National Editor, and Data Manager) can subscribe to planning area notifications for one or more units. Planning area subscriptions are optional, but intended to help facilitate communication between neighboring units and promote cooperation early in the life of an incident and decision-making process.
• MAP Displays
  • Pending M.A.P.s display as dotted lines. Activated M.A.P.s, those that are included in published decisions, display with a solid line. Deactivated M.A.P.s display with a dashed line. Once a decision is published, pending M.A.P.s become active and display with other, previously activated M.A.P.s and appear as solid lines.
  • When you exclude an M.A.P. and publish a new decision, excluded M.A.P.s are 'deactivated' and display with dashed lines in map displays.
• Password Change Update
  • All users, including Administrators and National Editors, must change their passwords every 60 days. WFDSS sends 10-day and 3-day warning email alerts to help you avoid account lockout. If you fail to change your password prior to expiration, your account is locked and you must call the Help Desk.
• Updated Helpdesk Information
  • If you cannot find an answer to your question in the WFDSS Help, you can call the Help Desk at 1-866-224-7677 (Toll Free), +1 616-323-1667, or navigate to https://iiahelpdesk.nwcg.gov/. Fire Applications Help Desk provides level 1 technical support for WFDSS.
• Predictive Services Significant Fire Potential
  • Topics containing references to this service have been removed.
• Requesting an Account
  • You may now include *usda.gov email addresses when requesting a WFDSS account.
• Fire Behavior Requests
  • Fire behavior requests are monitored only by GA Editors.
