Using the Call Editor

Form
The center of the page shows the selected form. The validation status is indicated on each form to match the status in the left navigation menu.

Understanding Validation Icons
Understanding Form/Folder Icons
Forms are grouped into folders that represent NFIRS modules and module sections. There are three types of folders and they indicate which forms need to be completed. The NFIRS Incident Type in (1-Basic > Section C) primarily controls which forms must be filled out.
Required Folders
Forms in required folders must be completed and pass validation.
Optional Folders
Forms in optional folders do not need to be completed, but can be. By default, forms in optional folders are opted out of validation upon saving.
If you want to fill out an optional form section and validate the information, check off the opt-in checkbox at the top of the form. This changes the icon for the folder and it will behave like a required folder.
Disabled Folders
Forms in disabled folders do not need to be filled out and will not be validated.
