All Resources

The All Resources screen provides a detailed list of the resources activated and involved in an incident. It displays a list of all resources (tactical and non-tactical) and their status, supplier, resource description, quantity, area of operation including its status date and ETA, as well as delivery and final location. The All Resources screen allows the user to add/delete, edit, split, copy, filter, and manage the information in many ways. There are several other forms that link to the All Resource screen in the IAP Software, such as the ICS 213RR – Resource Request, ICS 210 – Change Status, and ICS 221 – Demobilization Check Out. For help on using general form functions (e.g. Create/Open Version, Save, etc.) and accessing preloaded versions, see the General Form Functions page.
