Position Logging and Tasking in the running for Board of the Year

The Position Logging and Tasking boards have been submitted by ESI to the WebEOC community as one of five boards in contention for "Board Designer of the Year".

These boards form the core of our system and allow any users log entry to be raised to a significant event, visible to any agency involved in the response to that incident but the really clever feature is the work that Jeremy undertook after Ex Ruaumoko when the feedback was that any agency wanted to be able to send and track a task to any other agency. These tasks can be generated from anybodies log entry and then assigner to any combination of internal and external users. This allows your operations and planning teams to be aware of resource requests sent to other agencies.

Competition is always tough (especially as Jeremy from Critchlow won the 'Redline' award for pushing the WebEOC boundaries two years ago) and there are some great boards in the other entries, so I recommend you go and have a look at what other agencies have been working on.

I'd like to thank all of the agencies that have provided feedback during exercises, incidents, training and consultation that have provided the direction that this board has developed in, but really thank Jeremy for his work and skill in developing such an innovative solution to the tasking problem.
