To ensure your system displays and prioritizes events correctly in Genetec Citigraf™, you must map the category codes used by your partner organizations to your system.

  1. From the Plugins task, navigate to the Dispatch System Connector plugin.
  2. Navigate to the Category codes page.
  3. In the Category code mappings section, click Add ().
  4. In the Name field, enter the name of the organization that’s providing CAD calls.
  5. Click Import.
  6. From the file explorer, select the CSV file containing the category codes for the relevant provider organization.
    NOTE: The CSV file should contain four columns consisting of the following:
    • Category code
    • Category code description
    • Category
    • (Optional) Priority
    • If any values are missing from the CSV file, contact the organization that provided it and request an updated copy of the file.
    • You can download a sample category code mapping CSV file from the Downloads section on the TechDoc HUB.
  7. Click Apply.
