Quick Claim Widget

What the Widget Does

The Quick Claim Widget is a small display that you can place in a corner of your main screen. It shows the first available resource of up to 20 resource types. Your organization decides which types appear, and each user profile can have its own widget. For example, police telecommunicators and fire telecommunicators may see different resources.

The QCW is a separate application from the Resource Board. The only action it allows is claiming a resource.

Opening the Widget

Log in, then click Launch QCW in the upper right corner of the Resource Board.

Layout

Title Bar

The top row is navy with white text. The SRM logo and name appear on the left. On the right are a dash and a square. The dash collapses the resource list, and the square expands it.

Resource Rows

Up to 20 rows appear below the title bar. Each row shows the first available resource of one type. Small text shows the resource type, and large text shows the first available resource. A green Quick Claim box sits to the right.

For resources that are numbered or lettered, the first available resource is the lowest number or letter that is neither claimed nor unavailable. For resources with color names, the order is set by your organization.

Footer

The footer is light grey. On the left is the connectivity indicator: green for a satisfactory connection, yellow for a compromised connection, and red for no connection. On the right is a session timer showing how long the session has been open.

Quick Claim

Click Quick Claim to claim the resource immediately for 60 minutes. The widget does not open a box and does not ask for notes.

After a claim, the widget shows the next available resource and a confirmation that tells you whether the Quick Claim succeeded. Close the confirmation by clicking anywhere on the QCW.

When no resources of a type remain, the display shows None Available, and the Quick Claim button turns grey.
