# Getting started

> 1. Dispatch a unit to a call (dashboard):

## Your first commands

1. **Dispatch a unit to a call** (dashboard):\
   `DU A23 #26-00045`\
   (Replace with your unit callsign and CFS.)

2. **Mark a unit on scene** (inside that call’s detail page):\
   `OS A23`\
   No CFS needed — the open call is the context.

3. **Create a quick call** (dashboard):\
   `NC BURG 123 MAIN ST`\
   `BURG` must be a **call type shortcode** configured for your agency (see admin docs).

4. **Inside an open call** (optional): set a **status timer**, add a **person**, or **assign** several units:\
   `STATUS 10` · `PERSON witness Alex Lee` · `ASSIGN @A1 @A2`\
   See [In-call commands](/dispatch/in-call-commands) for the full list.
