What is Regionality?
Regional Words match the CAD's wording to your region. Officers, dispatchers and civilians all see your terms, so names in these docs (911, 10-Codes, Penal Code, DMV, $) may look different on your server.
Open Customization → Regionality in the CAD admin panel. Changes are kept as a draft until you click Save Changes (Ctrl + S).
Setting Your Region
- Apply a Preset
Pick your country under Apply Preset to fill most fields in one go.
- Check the Fields
Tweak anything you like. An empty field goes back to its default. Presets don't change the timezone or non-emergency number, so set those yourself.
- Save
Click Save Changes. Everyone sees the new terms straight away.
Some presets fill an emergency number longer than 6 characters, so shorten it before saving.
