Below is an illustration of the User Data Entry Form screen for the User Data block. The
data are typed in, per the formats that follow, further below.
Entering User Data
User Data are typed in as indicated on the illustration of the RCT (previous page). There is a
specific order, and there are space limits that must be observed for the User Data to assure
that the data are readable when presented on the Present and Pending lists and in the Asset
Data popup on the PDA. Observing the order also assures consistency within each individual
agency and among agencies of a mutual-aid group. The consistency assures that the data are
found and understood quickly and correctly, regardless of which company’s, precinct’s, or
agency’s assets are being monitored at an incident.
Screen ID is key. It identifies the asset to the Incident Commander (IC). It is used in several
places, and it must fit within in the space available on the PDA. The term “Screen ID” is
used since it may apply to any asset type, regardless whether a person, Unit, vehicle, etc. (as
opposed to “Name,” which would apply only to people). Screen ID is limited to 15
characters (including spaces & punctuation).
Conform to the following formats when entering in User Data in the RCT. It is
recommended that all assets be identified and that the User Data of each be planned and
prepared before using the RCT.
