Vehicles, Locations, and Facilities

The takeaway

These three sections in CAD settings — Vehicles, Locations, and Facilities — are different from the General and Incident Fields sections. CAD does not store this data on its own. It pulls it from your other Unified applications, so you only have to maintain it in one place.

These three sections appear under the Connectors heading in the Settings sidebar.

Vehicles

The Vehicles section is connected to Fleet Management. Every vehicle you have added in Fleet — make, model, year, unit number, category, status — automatically appears here. When you build unit templates in CAD, these vehicles show up as the choices for the default vehicle.

You can also click Add Vehicle from this screen to create a new vehicle, and the record is written back to Fleet Management.

Locations

The Locations section is connected to CloudPCR. Locations are your stations, posts, and other places your units are stationed. Any location you have defined in CloudPCR is available here, and adding one from this screen creates it in CloudPCR too.

Locations include an address and GPS coordinates, so they can appear on the CAD map.

Facilities

The Facilities section is also connected to CloudPCR. Facilities are the hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, and other destinations your crews transport to — grouped by Facility Type (the top-level record), with individual facilities of that type entered underneath. Names, addresses, and contact details all come from CloudPCR.

When you create an incident, the facility picker uses this same list.

Tip: If a vehicle or facility is missing from CAD, you can add it from this screen — the change flows back to Fleet Management (for vehicles) or CloudPCR (for locations and facilities) automatically.
