In-call commands

In call detail, the command line runs in in-call mode:

The CFS badge shows which call is targeted.
OS 423 means unit 423 on scene for this call — no # needed.
PRI=, TYPE=, LOC=, NARR=, N, and NS apply to this call.
Type PRI= for priority suggestions (1–4). Type TYPE= for incident types / shortcodes that start with what you typed (e.g. TYPE=ASS → ASSAULT…).
Notes from N / NARR= appear on the call immediately (quotes optional: N "test 123").
Type HELP STATUS (or tap STATUS in the HELP dialog) for full timer usage.

Use VIEW #<CFS> from the dashboard to open a different call, or pick it from the board, before running in-call commands for that CFS.

Call-only commands (require an open call)

These are recognized when you are on call detail (and appear in HELP there):

Status timer (call-level and agency)

Command	What it does
`STATUS 10`	Set or restart the call-level status timer to N minutes (`STATUS 0` stops it).
`STATUS ON`	One agency on the call → start that agency’s status timer. Multiple agencies → you must use `STATUS ON @AgencyName` (the error lists the agencies). No agency on call → enable call-level timer.
`STATUS OFF`	Same single / multi / call-level rules to stop timers.
`STATUS OFF @Agency`	Pause the agency status timer for that agency on this call.
`STATUS ON @Agency`	Start or resume that agency’s status timer (creates the timer if it was never started).

People and vehicles

Command	What it does
`PERSON <role> <name…>`	Add an involved person. Role is required: `suspect`, `victim`, `witness`, `other`, `driver`, `passenger`, `passenger_1` … `passenger_4`, `reporting_party`. First word of the name is first name; the rest is last name (e.g. `PERSON suspect John Smith`).
`VEH <color> <make> <model> [plate]`	Add an involved vehicle (e.g. `VEH red Honda Civic ABC123`). Plate is optional; extra tokens are treated as part of the plate.

Report flag and email

Command	What it does
`FLAG` or `RTF`	Mark the call report to follow (same effect; RTF is a shortcut alias).
`EMAIL user@example.com`	Generate the CFS PDF and email it to the address(es) listed. Multiple addresses: separate with spaces.

Batch assign

Command	What it does
`ASSIGN @351 @422 @VEH-5`	Assign multiple units to this call in one line. Each token must start with `@` and match a unit callsign (or ID) in your org. Unknown callsigns are skipped; at least one must succeed.

Report number

Command	What it does
`REPORT#`	Shows or assigns the report / case number for the current call.

How it works depends on your agency’s report-number mode (configured by a CadmusAdmin):

Mode	`separateReportNumbers` setting	Behavior
Same as CFS (default)	`false`	Returns the CFS number — no new number is generated.
Separate sequence	`true`	Allocates the next number from the agency’s format template (e.g. `26-0001`) and writes it to the incident. Also sets Report to Follow.

If a report number has already been assigned (from a previous REPORT#, FLAG, or close with RTF), the command simply displays it — it will not allocate a second number.

On the dashboard, HELP does not list the call-only table above; open a call and press HELP there to see it.
