The redesigned Sit/209 program features a new look and feel, and incorporates many new enhancements. If you’re familiar with the old Sit/209 program and reporting process, the new program will look familiar. However, there are differences in both how the program functions and the information that is entered.
Among the major differences between the old SIT Program and the new SIT Program are:
- The resources page is gone. Other systems exist for reporting and tracking committed and available resources (such as ROSS and WildCAD).
- Users can now select report dates other than the present date to view fire data.
- Fires can now be entered for both protection and ownership on the same web page.
- Year-to-date fire statistics page shows both new fire activity and previously reported fire activity. This allows for more accurate editing of fires by both ownership and protection.
- Will use the Cognos reports program to query SIT Report data.
- Canned reports from the previous program have been converted to the Cognos format (except those that were determined to be obsolete).
- Editable text fields are designated with white backgrounds.
