🖥️ Anatomy of the CORE Team Dashboard
Quick Links:
The Personnel Page
The Personnel Page
This is the first page that you will see upon logging into the application. The personnel page is typically the starting point for coordinators who want to search for deployable CORE members, or monitor pending applicant submissions for approval. To perform these tasks, the page consists of two main functionalities: 1) Search filters to help narrow down your search; and 2) Search results display (see visuals below).
Search Filters
For specific Instructions on how to use the more complex filters (i.e., the “Fire Centre/Home Location” and “Availability/Date Range” filter), as well as how to read the search results table with the availability filter applied, please see Finding Members to Deploy in Chapter 3.
Search Results
To learn how to approve a pending applicant and track their document submissions from the personnel page, please go to Reviewing and Approving Applicants in Chapter 3.
Tab Definitions:
Active: Refers to members who are currently active in the CORE program and are readily deployable.
Inactive: Refers to members who are no longer active in the program due to various reasons (e.g maternity leave, hiatus from program, etc.). They are unavailable for deployments during a fire season.
Pending Approval: Refers to applicants who have submitted their intake form, but have not yet been approved into the program as a CORE member.
Search Results Table Columns: “Active” Tab
Search Results Table Columns: “Pending Approval” Tab
The Profile Page
Profile pages store individual BCWS member and applicant information. The member profile consists of six components:
Profile banner displaying information including the member’s name, member status (active/inactive), employee number, etc.;
Member Details section;
Member Availability;
BCWS section and roles that the member indicated they are interested and/or experienced in;
Skills & Certifications section; and
Notes section
Applicant Profile
While the applicant profile has the same six sections as the member profile, it also includes additional components, such as the pending applicant information banner and the intake requirements under Applicant Details, to help BCWS coordinators keep track of other applicant requirements for approval. To see how to approve an applicant to become a BCWS member, please see [SECTION TITLE, LINK] in Chapter 3.
👩💻 What Coordinators can do in CORE Team
Reviewing and Approving Applicants
View “Pending Approval” List: On the Personnel page, scroll down to the search results table and switch to the “Pending Approval” tab.
Review Requirements Status: Review the submission status for “ParQ” and “CORE Orientation”. Note that applicants' supervisor approval and signed willingness statement are now included in the intake form. ParQ must be submitted via email, and the CORE Orientation video is also completed externally. Make sure to cross-check these items with applicant names in your fire centre email to confirm submission.
Go to Applicant Profile: If you have received the applicant’s ParQ, and/or they have confirmed they have completed their CORE Orientation, click on the applicant’s name in the search results to proceed to their applicant profile.
Click the “Edit” button on the top right corner of the Applicant Details section.
Update Intake Requirements Status: Under “Intake Requirements”, change the status for the received items (i.e., ParQ and CORE Orientation) in their respective dropdown fields.
Select “Received” for ParQ.
Select “Completed” for CORE Orientation.
click “Save”.
Complete Review: On the “Pending Applicant Information Alert” banner, the list of items will be updated.
Click “Approve as Member” on the right side of the banner. (This button will only appear when all four requirements are marked as “Received”/”Completed”)
Click “Confirm” again in the confirmation pop-up.
The applicant is now approved into the program as a BCWS member. You can now schedule them for deployment, update their information, if needed, or change their status to “inactive”.
Once you approve an applicant as a member, you cannot undo this action. Additionally, you will no longer be able to see intake requirements under the “Member Details” section.
Finding Members to Deploy

How to use the availability/date range filter
Example: you are a coordinator from the coastal fire centre. You need to deploy a member who meets the following requirements: 1) lives in or near Smithers; 2) is interested or experienced in x role, and 3) is available for deployment any day(s) between June 13-June 16.
Find supervisor/liaison contact info to ask for deployment permission, as well as any other member information critical for assessing their deployment readiness.
Write any relevant notes (e.g. confirming deployment, details need to be aware of, etc.)
