8.1.2 IMS Application Assignment Labels and Types
The following matrix indicates the Master List of Assignment-label/type choices that are
available for configuration into the IMS application for use by PDAs and Incident Status
Board (ISB). The choices are configured into the IMS application using the ADMS and the
Application Configuration Tool (ACT). A user/agency is free to select from this matrix
which Assignment labels will be presented to the IC in the Make Assignment list when he
wants to assign an asset to a task or function. The ISB automatically follows the labels used
by the PDA.
This matrix also indicates the default settings for three types of usage: Mixed, Fire, and Law
Enforcement. The user/agency may simply opt to use one of the defaults, may modify one of
the defaults and use it, or may design his own list from the Master List.
The user should note that some of the Assignment labels are required in all/any
configurations. The user will also note that, due to the different natures of the PDA and the
ISB, some assignments appear on the PDA and not on the ISB, and vice-versa.
