What is the Units Board?
The Active Units panel lists every unit on the CAD with its call, agency, location and status. It's where you set statuses, assign calls and build groups. Units in panic pulse red. Dispatchers are hidden by default.
Groups
Units in a group show in the unit groups panel instead, titled after your filter (for example Active Squads or Active Apparatus).
- Drag units onto the groups panel to create a group of up to 4.
- Drag them back to the units table to remove them.
See Groups for how groups work.
