4.971.0

Summary

Implements RG-T151, introducing a feature-flagged modern home dashboard while preserving the existing classic dashboard experience.

Modern dashboard

• Adds the Dashboard.Modern feature flag, seeded off by default and evaluated per department.
• Replaces the home page with a customizable widget board when enabled.
• Supports:
  • Drag-and-drop and keyboard widget reordering.
  • Widget resizing from XS through Full.
  • Widget-specific settings and department-scoped option lists.
  • Up to five boards per member, with the Home board protected from deletion.
  • Server-side persistence per member and department.
  • Optimistic concurrency handling with conflict resolution.
  • Compact and Comfortable density modes.
  • Wall-display mode.
  • Live updates where supported, with polling fallbacks.
  • Classic-dashboard fallback when JavaScript is unavailable or the modern dashboard cannot load.

Dashboard templates

• Adds department dashboard templates for department administrators.
• Templates can target:
  • Everyone.
  • A personnel role.
  • A group.
• Adds priority-based template resolution and a department-default template.
• Preserves customized member boards when templates change.
• Adds limits of 25 templates per department and 40 widgets per board.
• Records template saves and deletions as DashboardTemplateChanged system audit events.

Widget catalog and module coverage

Adds a catalog and provider model for dashboard widgets across Operations, Personnel, Map & Weather, Communications, Planning, Readiness, Records, Workforce & Business, Incident Back Office, Intelligence, and Administration.

Widgets expose module-consistent data and access behavior for areas including:

• Active, pending, scheduled, and awaiting-resource calls.
• Unit status, alerts, summaries, routes, and incident command.
• Personnel status, staffing, and status boards.
• Calendar, shifts, trainings, documents, notes, links, and contacts.
• Checklists, work orders, inventory, and certifications.
• Records queues, analytics, prevention, hydrants, investigations, legal holds, and NERIS.
• Deployments, time reports, invoicing, bids, contracts, cost recovery, and workforce reporting.
• Chat, messaging, communication tests, Push-To-Talk, weather, maps, AI dispatch triage, and administrative health information.

Security and entitlement handling

• Reuses module policies, permissions, feature flags, add-on entitlements, visibility rules, and module switches when determining widget availability.
• Adds locked gallery cards for department administrators when an offered paid add-on is not held.
• Keeps add-on widgets read-only or hidden according to the associated module behavior when an entitlement lapses.
• Adds Advanced Data Protection handling for protected dashboard values:
  • Protected values are hidden by default.
  • Reveals use the existing step-up verification flow.
  • Reveals are audited.
  • Wall display never reveals protected data.
  • Protected values are represented using dashboard-specific protected-value DTOs rather than exposing redaction markers or encrypted envelopes.

Supporting services and persistence

• Adds UserDashboards and DepartmentDashboardTemplates persistence models, repositories, and SQL Server/PostgreSQL migrations.
• Adds dashboard layout validation, schema handling, size validation, setting allow-lists, limits, and unknown-widget preservation.
• Adds dashboard entitlement, board resolution, option-source, widget data, and provider contracts.
• Adds supporting aggregate reads for calls, chat, workflows, inventory, documents, deployments, time reports, imports, hydrants, security posture, and other widget data.
• Extracts personnel status-board construction into a shared service used by both the classic dashboard and the modern personnel board widget.
• Extends SignalR/eventing support for dashboard-relevant staffing, checklist, unit alert, outstanding-resource, and incident-command updates.
• Adds localized dashboard chrome and widget resources for the supported languages.

Additional fix

• Changes route lookup caching so successful routes remain cached for 30 days, while failed lookups are retried after a short failure window instead of retaining the failure for the full cache duration.

Testing

Adds coverage for dashboard catalog validation, entitlement and add-on gating, layout normalization, board/template resolution, concurrency, persistence, widget providers, protected data behavior, localization completeness, controller security attributes, and route lookup caching.
