SAR Technology: 'Incident Commander Pro' Software

Creating Portable Microsoft XPS Reports 
with 'Incident Commander Pro'

Mission Areas report - printed to an XPS document and displayed in Internet Explorer

The 'Incident Commander Pro' software provide a number of ways to create reports and share information. In addition to creating hard copy printed reports information may also be exported to text files (.txt), Excel spreadsheets (.xls), database files (.dbf) and printed as PDF documents. These electronic data formats make it easy to share 'Incident Commander Pro' information with other applications. 

A convenient new way to share this information is to print reports directly to a Microsoft XPS (XML Paper Specification) file. This creates output to an XPS file that is an exact, formatted copy of the original report form. These .xps files may be printed immediately from the 'Incident Commander Pro' Print menu, viewed directly in Internet Explorer and saved as a convenient form of data backup or for sharing with other applications.

To create these reports the Microsoft XPS print driver (document viewer) must first be installed on the computer. This free print driver may be downloaded from Microsoft XPS Document Viewer. Once installed the XPS printer driver appears in the Print Setup menu.

Print Report - Select the XPS Document Writer

 Simply select the XPS Document Writer as the current printer and then print any 'Incident Commander Pro' report.  The fully formatted report will then be saved and printed as an XPS document.

Mission Routes report - printed to an XPS document and displayed in Internet Explorer

On a major incident all of the mission's XPS report files may be saved as permanent data backup and emailed to the responsible authority for comments and review.
