Crew Roles
Crew roles can now accept more than one value per crew member. This is optional, based on a Configuration option via Configuration >> Service >> Chart tab >> Crew Roles Layout on New Chart.
NEMSIS v3 also added new values. As such the control changed to account for these differences and allow a quick entry. Just start typing what you need and a filtered list appears. The old values are gone and replaced by the new NEMSIS v3 values. They are mapped to NEMSIS v2 values to allow for backwards compatibility. Again, this feature is optional.

NEMSIS v3 defined new values for these fields. Since agencies may customize these lists themselves, instead of adding in all new values for everyone, we have given agencies the ability to import them as needed/desired. Commands can configure. Please see the NEMSIS v3 Command Configuration Tool /wiki/spaces/XEP/pages/6815829 option for more information.

The generic location entries that previously filled the box appear in gray headers in the drop down list. In this example, "Park/Recreation" is the generic entry previously seen, but you can now specify down to amusement park, public park, parking lot, etc.

Destination Basis can now account for more than one determination. As such, the control changed to the standard multi-pick list pop-up window that appears elsewhere in emsCharts.

A number of fields did not have an appropriate "size" field. Vascular Access or Intubations naturally did; however for the procedures that did not, a standard text box allowing the sizing, such as "Adult Pad" for the other procedures was enabled.
Authorizations
Previously, Non- Via Protocol procedure authorizations required a "Medical Consult" procedure to note Written, On Scene, or Radio/Telephone Online orders. We have modified it so that those options are now listed in the "Authorization" fields for the various procedures.
