In the IMS application, static user data is used to hold identifying information about the asset
assigned to the RSN. These data are presented on the Incident Commander’s (IC’s) PDA to
inform the IC about the asset. In the Present and Pending lists, the asset’s Screen ID is
presented. When an asset’s Screen ID label is double-tapped, the asset’s Asset Data pop-up
window opens, displaying additional data about that asset. Refer to the examples below.
Present List on PDA Asset Data Popup on PDA
The popup contains the screen Id, the asset type, the service type, and a text description of

The IMS application receives this user data as User Data upon registration. Using data in this

description database.
This approach has moved the database of RSN to Asset information to the RCT Database.
This information is setup and managed in the RCT Database.
User Data Entry Form

data. RSN user data allows RSNs to be programmed with customer-specific descriptive data.
The data that is placed in this area is for information only and is what is displayed on your
application when an RSN is displayed.
To edit each of these fields, select the Override option and enter the desired information into
