Big things are happening in Operations Center! From a brand-new way to view your tasks and projects, to the new feature that lets you link resources together and track locations on cards — continue reading to learn more!

List view

The List view in Operations Center is your go-to place to see and manage all your cards in a streamlined and filterable format. Whether you’re keeping track of your assigned cards or checking on overdue tasks and projects, the List view helps you stay organized.

Operations Center provides several predefined views to help you get started quickly:

Resource linking

Resource linking transforms operations from a scattered set of assets into a connected, intelligent system. It’s a smarter way to track dependencies — clearly showing who is using what, where everything is located, and how resources interact.

Imagine being able to instantly answer:

• Which equipment is assigned to which officer?
• Who to contact at a specific site when an alarm goes off?
• Where each piece of equipment is installed, assigned, or stored?

With resource linking, you gain complete visibility into your operational landscape — allowing every piece to fall into place effortlessly.

Creating a link between resources

To create a link between two resources, open the resource details view. You’ll find a section for Linked resources. From there:

1. In the linked resources tab, click one of the available options: +person, +equipment, or +place.
2. Choose a predefined relation type. Each resource category will offer a set of predefined relationship types tailored for that category.
3. Select the resource you want to link.
4. Finalize by clicking "Add link".

💡 Only one link of a given type can exist between two resource entities. If a link already exists, it must be removed before creating a new one of the type.

Location tracking on cards

This feature ensures traceability and accountability by collecting location data with each entry. You can choose to enforce it or disable it entirely to meet both organizational and local compliance requirements.

When is your location collected?

Your location will be collected only if your system admin enables it. There are three modes:

Enabling record location feature

Navigate to system settings and inside the card settings block, choose one of the following options.

• Required
• Optional:
• Off

What happens if location tracking is blocked?

If Location Is Required:

• You’ll see a message blocking you from using the app
• You may be redirected to device settings to enable location

If Location Is Optional:

• Your audit trail will still log whether GPS was allowed or denied
• Example: “GPS permission denied”

If GPS Can’t Be Retrieved:

• Your change will still go through (if allowed)
• Audit will show: “GPS could not be fetched”

Where is the location data shown?

You can view GPS history:

• In reports
• In the Audit trail of a card
