Summary
The Custom Settings Time Fields are re-namable and may be flagged as Mandatory, Optional, or to provide a Warning. Departmental rules will determine if any of these fields are required beyond what the provincial reporting system requires. Some of these Time Fields are considered mandatory by provincial requirements.
As well, for the optional time fields, you are given the choice (with the Show/Hide drop-down menu) to have these time fields visible or not visible on the applicable module windows. These Time Field options affect the Incident Record Window, the Truck Chart Tab, and the Dispatch (CAD) Tab.
