Siren Notification based on Severity Level
The siren sound can now be adjusted based on the level of severity through Siren Sound in settings. Users can select the appropriate sound for each level of severity from the Crises Control Mobile App. This feature is only available on IOS devices and not on Android devices.
Please Note: Android devices will still use the default siren sound. This behaviour will be updated to use configured siren sound in Android devices in an upcoming release.
Override old mobile device on user profile
A new feature has been implemented that allows for older mobile devices to be overridden. When a user logs in on a device and there are previous entries for the same device, the older entries will be automatically replaced by the latest login from that device. Users will still be able to have and use multiple devices, but different device models will not overwrite the entries of other models
