The Responder Explorer toolbar provides the operator with functionality to view incident information in ArcMap and in Responder Explorer.

Highlight	Flashes the incident symbology three times on the map. You may need to click Zoom To first, if the symbology does not appear on the map.
Zoom To	Zooms the ArcMap display to the selected incident.
Zoom To Incident Extent	Zooms the ArcMap display to include all load points affected by the selected incident.
Pan To	Moves the ArcMap display to show the selected incident without modifying the current map scale.
Apply Updates	Refreshes the data. This button applies the same updates that occur at the Data Refresh Rate interval. This refresh does not clear any selected rows or collapse any expanded rows.
Data Refresh Rate	Determines how often data is refreshed. When data is refreshed using this field, it retrieves all changes made since the last refresh. This significantly reduces the amount of time it takes to refresh. Selected and expanded/collapsed rows are not changed.
Find Incident For Customer	Allows the user to search for an incident associated with a specific customer.
Generate Reports	Builds a customer list for a selected set or a single selected device and displays it as a report. The selected features do not have to be associated with an incident.
Select Regions	Allows you to determine which regions display data throughout Responder Explorer.
Show Regions	Allows you to view all regions, or click the button again, to view only regions assigned to the current user.
Clear Map	Clears the callouts placed on the map by the View on Map or View Selected Steps on Map tools. You must have ArcMap open and have executed the View on Map or View Selected Steps on Map tool first to view this tool.
Open Web Dashboard	Opens the Responder dashboard in a web browser. This tool requires configuration. See the Responder Configuration Guide for more information.
The following tools do not appear on the toolbar by default. You can add them using the Customize menu or the Add and Remove Buttons dialog on the toolbar. If you use the Customize dialog, you must have a row selected that contains an incident device in order for these tools to be visible. Also, note that these buttons are not visbile if you do not have a row selected that contains an incident device.
Refresh Data	Refreshes the data. Using this button to manually refresh data will refresh all data in the database. This will take longer than using the Data Refresh Rate. This refresh also clears any selected rows and collapses any expanded rows.
