Live

The Live screen shows what’s happening now. Vehicles, people, incidents, objectives, locations and more appear on a map and in lists, and they update as soon as IR3 hears about a change. Use it to see who’s where, who’s attached to an incident and how soon they’ll arrive, and which alerts need someone to claim them.

Open it from Live in the side menu.

Changed

The live screen: the vehicles list on the left, the map on the right

  • The sidebar on the left has a row of icon tabs across the top, one for each type of item, with a Settings tab (the cog) at the end. Below the tabs are a search and filter box and the list for the tab you’ve chosen.
  • The map fills the rest of the screen. It shows every type at once, not just the tab you’re on.
  • Opening an item, from its row or from the map, replaces the list with its detail panel. Use the back button in the app bar to return to the list, which is just as you left it.

Each item has its own web address, so you can bookmark an item or share a link to it.

The Incidents tab, listing incidents by grade

Hover over a tab’s icon to see its name. The tabs are, in order:

Tab What it lists
Vehicles Your force’s vehicles that have a tracker fitted
External Vehicles Other forces’ vehicles shared with you
Trackers Trackers that aren’t fitted to a vehicle
Locations Locations such as bases and workshops
Scenes Scenes set up in briefs to show on the live map, while they’re running
People People whose radio has reported recently
External People Other forces’ people shared with you
Radios Radios that aren’t assigned to anyone
Call Signs Call signs in use by the people and vehicles shown
Events Accelerometer alerts and events
Incidents Open incidents
Objectives Current and upcoming objectives

A small coloured dot on a tab’s icon means a search or filter is hiding some of that tab’s items.

You see a tab only if you’re allowed to see that kind of information, so your tabs may differ from a colleague’s. Everyone sees Trackers and Radios, and Call Signs appears whenever People does.

Depending on your organisation’s set-up:

  • Scenes may not be shown.
  • External Vehicles and External People may not be shown.
  • A fleet-only set-up shows just Vehicles, Trackers and Locations.
