You can add a fire department in both the Contacts and Claims modules. To add a fire department in the Contacts module, see Add a fire department. To associate a fire department with a specific claim, you must add the fire department in the Contacts section of the claim.
To add a fire department, access the desired claim and:
- Select Contacts from the claim menu.
- Navigate to the Fire Department section.
- In the Fire Department Name box, type the name of the fire department.
- If the name you type matches the name of an existing fire department in BriteCore, a list of possible matching fire departments will appear below the Name box. Select the correct name.
- If the name you type matches the name of an existing BriteCore contact, after you’ve typed the name and pressed Enter/Return on your keyboard, a Did You Know? dialog box will open with a list of possible matching contacts. Select the correct name from the dialog box. If you can’t find a matching name, select Create New Contact. See Complete the New Contact dialog box for an organization.
- If the name you type doesn’t match a name that exists in BriteCore, when you press Enter/Return after typing the name, the New Contact dialog box will open. See Complete the New Contact dialog box for an organization.
