We are pleased to announce the release of Crisisworks 4.13, which simplifies the use of resources and improves performance.
Global resources
In this release we are introducing the concept of 'global' and 'on-the-fly' resources, to make the dealing with resources in events much easier.
Global resources are resources that are made available across all events without having to be explicitly added each time. This means your users can more easily search and use your key resources in new events without coordinators or administrators adding them into the current event. Like other global record types, global resources are made available across the system whenever the containing event is in an open state.
On-the-fly resources can be added into requests at the time the request is being created. They are only available to the event in which they were created, and are not available to other events.
To facilitate this change, a new event called 'Global Resources' has been implemented. You will no longer need to add resources every time you create a new Event. All resources marked as a 'Global Resource' will be available for all events. Upon release of 4.13 to your site, we will convert all appropriately identified resources automatically convert all resources that were not created inline as part of a request to become global resources, and we place them into the 'Global Resources' event.
