Resolving Access and Data Entry Challenges
⚠️ Unable to Log In (Forgotten Password)
Cause: You may have forgotten your password or entered incorrect credentials.
Solution: If you cannot recall your password, look for a 'Forgot Password' or 'Reset Password' link on the login page. Follow the instructions to securely reset your access. If you're encountering other credential issues, verify your username and try again. For further assistance, contact the Emergency Services Data Management Team.
⚠️ Offline Mobile Data Not Appearing Online
Cause: Incident reports entered using the offline mobile version (Elite field) were not posted to the web before a specific deadline or synchronization issue.
Solution: We know being locked out or losing data is stressful. Ensure that any unposted runs from your mobile devices are promptly posted to the web. If data was not posted by a critical deadline, it might be lost. Always verify that your offline data has synchronized. If you need immediate help with data synchronization or missing reports, contact the Emergency Services Data Management Team directly at [email protected] or (603) 223-4200.
⚠️ Incorrect Personal Information in Profile
Cause: Your email address, mailing address, or other personal details are outdated.
Solution: Users are responsible for updating their own personal profiles within RespondNH. Log into your personal account to make any necessary changes to your contact information or other personal details.
⚠️ Affiliation Request Issues
Cause: An EMS provider's affiliation request with a service is pending or incorrect.
Solution: Service leaders can approve or disapprove affiliation requests within their RespondNH dashboard under the 'Applications' panel. If a user was mistakenly removed, they will need to re-request affiliation from their user profile.
