Configure your VEOC dashboard

Personalize the VEOC dashboard by setting message filters, moving and resizing panes, adding clocks, and saving the layout so it sticks.

Configure your VEOC dashboard

The Virtual Emergency Operations Centre (VEOC) dashboard is yours to arrange. Set what appears in your Forum feed, drag the panes where you want them, add clocks for your sites, and save. One warning up front: unsaved layouts reset to default, so Save Dashboard is the step that matters.

Before you start

You need to be in an active session. Dashboard settings are personal; changing yours changes nothing for anyone else.

Set your display options

Click the Settings icon on the dashboard to open your options:

  • Show COP+: show or hide COP+ map updates in your Forum feed. The dashboard also carries a live map widget that refreshes as the map changes in COP+.

  • Show System: show or hide system messages in the Forum.

  • Popup Urgent: control whether Urgent messages pop up on screen.

  • Group Conversations: filter direct and private messages to show only the names of those conversations.

  • Font Size: resize dashboard text.

Arrange the panes

Left-click and hold any windowpane, then drag it into position. Resize panes the same way to fit your screen and your role: a scribe wants a big Forum, an Incident Commander wants the map and org chart up front.

Save it

Click Save Dashboard in the Settings menu. Skip this and the dashboard reverts to its original layout.

Add clocks

Worldwide clocks sit at the top of the dashboard so you can track time at the job site, the office, or anywhere the response touches.

  1. In the left-hand menu, click Clocks.

  2. Add or remove clocks as needed.

Only users invited through a contact list can add clocks. Users added individually through Add Users see the company default clocks with no Add Clock option.

On mobile

Open Menu, then Settings. Mobile has its own toggle set: Show System Messages, Show COP+ Messages, Show Message Dates, Message Notifications (turn off to stop email and push alerts for Forum posts), Group Conversations, and Font Size. Each user controls their own.
