Configure Software Updates

You can choose the version of Fire Station Desktop that you want your department members to install, or you can choose to let them install the latest version as soon as it is available.

  1. On a browser, go to https://hub.firestationsoftware.com and sign in.
  2. In the left menu click Settings in the Fire Station section.
  3. In the Software Updates section, click the "Configure" button on the right.
  4. Choose one of the two options:
    • If you want your department members to install the latest updates as soon as they are available, then toggle "Enable Automatic Updates" on.
    • If you want to keep department members on a specific version, then toggle "Enable Automatic Updates" off, and select the version you want to install.
  5. Click "Save".

Making changes to the settings will push a configuration update to all registered devices.

Configure Policies

You can configure policies that control the settings for your department when they install or sign in to Fire Station Desktop.

Sign In Policy
  • FSSID Sign In Optional - allow department members to sign in with their FSSIDs or using their database user. This option is not allowed if you use Cloud Data Hosting (CDH).
