23 days ago

Hi Dispatch users!

This is the first release of 2024. This release comes with a ton of new features and lots of bug fixes and improvements. See below for some highlights and the full list.

  1. Update to Vue 3: We have updated to the latest version of Vue for improved performance, better support, and enhanced features.
  2. Full-width Case page: We've introduced a new full-width Case page which can be found under "View" from the Case table. Please be aware that this page is currently under development, and the original page can still be accessed under the "Edit" menu option. We welcome your feedback and suggestions on this update.
  3. Activity-based cost models: This feature introduces customizable cost models, allowing users to estimate incident response costs based on their unique organization’s workflow, tools, and participant activity. This update provides plugin-based tracking, effort assignment for each tracked activity, and incident cost calculation based on the cost model and effort assignment.
  4. Custom incident forms: Custom forms inside Dispatch allow admins to develop any number of assessments that can be completed for each incident, such as for legal assessment. Additionally, this improvement includes a mechanism for attorney notification, assessment evaluation and status.
  5. Enhanced incident timeline entry and exporting: This change allows the incident commander to add custom events to the timeline and introduces more powerful filtering of timeline events. Moreover, a new export feature allows the timeline to be exported directly into the incident or post-incident document(s).
  6. All new tag selector component: This new tag selector component allows for searching by tag name, has collapsable/expandable tag type sections, allows for required tag types, and enforces exclusivity. Tags are now shown as removable color chips with tag type icons. A clipboard copy button allows users to easily copy the tag list in the legacy format.
  7. Dedicated case channels: When created from the UI or through the conversation tool (e.g., Slack), cases now default to creating a separate private, dedicated channel.
