ID

  • A system-generated, hyperlinked ID created for every dispatch event.

  • Click the ID to open and edit the event.


Type

  • The type of event (e.g., Medical, Search and Rescue, Guest Contact, Lifts & Work Mission).

  • A text field where dispatchers can name the event.


Status

  • A real-time status indicator (e.g., Patrol Dispatched, Patient Transport).

  • Can be updated throughout the event.

  • Select the specific category for the event (e.g., Code Red, Lift Maintenance, Trail Check).


Reported By

  • A text field to record who initially reported the event.


Rep. Time

  • Enter the time the event was first reported to dispatch.

  • A tooltip is available to help explain supported input formats.

  • If entered, this value will pre-populate the Incident Time field on the related incident report.


Lead Responder

  • For medical events, this is a filtered text field to select a patroller. For non-medical events, any staff member in EDGEauditor can be selected as the lead responder.

  • Results filter as you type.

  • You can also use the dropdown to scroll through available patrollers.

    • Patroller section of the linked incident report

    • Lead Staff column under Incident Reports > View All Incidents on the Manager Dashboard.

  • Once the lead responder is selected from the table, it will auto-populate as the first field in the Staff Dispatch section (shown when you expand a dispatch event). The role assigned to the individual is based on the role you have chosen for lead staff as part of your patroller setup on the Manager Dashboard.

  • Enter the time the lead responder arrived on scene.

  • Once the arrived time is added to the table, it will auto-populate as the arrived time field in the Staff Dispatch section (shown when you expand a dispatch event) next to your lead responder.
