v5.2.0.3493

Mon, May 03, 21

Features

  • Added a link to Personnel Folders for each Deployable Person shown in the Ops app. This uses the media link stored in BBCRM.
  • Created a new user role called ‘Deployable Person’. This is for non-Ops members of staff who may be deployed but are not SRT members. This is so that they can update their details without accessing the Vols Portal. Users with this role will only be able to view their own profile.
  • To add these new users they need to be created in the Ops App as Local Users as normal, but will be given the role ‘Deployable Person’. These users then additionally need to have their Mendix account linked to their BBCRM profile. This is done on the Account Add/Edit page by selecting their BBCRM profile (by name or BBID) from the dropdown list. (This is the same process as currently done in setting up a user in the Vols Portal).
  • Adrian Heath has been created in Ops App Production environment as an example of this type of user account.

This is an important prerequisite for our stragegy of adding more applications, while retaining a consistent “single app” user experience.
  • Any phone numbers added (in Team Member profiles, Emergency Contacts and Response Key Players) will now be automatically validated and formatted to an internationally diallable standard format. You can still override in case of odd numbers.
