Scan Mode is embedded across SalamanderLive to instantly verify the status of People, Equipment, and Collections—complete with contact details and QR code validation using SIV. During events, scanned resources can be swiftly added or moved into assignments (including RAPID TAGs). And, in Inventory, Scan Mode speeds up asset management by allowing users to instantly scan and add resources (People and Equipment) into the cart—ready for issuing, returning, or consuming with ease.

Take your TAG security to the next level with SALAMANDER IDENTIFICATION VERIFICATION also known as SIV. Every TRACK APP scan does a real-time verification with SalamanderLive to ensure that people entering the scene are active, vetted, and qualified.
- Verify scans against SalamanderLive to confirm that people are not terminated, on-leave, etc.
- Verify qualification data to ensure all certifications are up-to-date
- Always have up-to-date TAG data no matter when the TAG was printed
EVENT MERGING
Enhance your situational awareness with Salamander’s feature to join multiple events together creating a common operating picture. Whether organizations are within the same account or from multiple external accounts, both the Internal Join and PIN Join features make accounting for all resources a simpler task by granting users with the visibility to all aspects of the event including all assignments, all resources checked in (Responders, Equipment, Collections, Patients, and Civilians), and a complete snapshot of real-time event reporting. Also, easily layer resources within events to create a common operating picture. Have visibility to all data while keeping specific resource information in their own lanes within an event.COLLECTIONS
Save time by pre-creating collections with our collection creation tool. When a group is deployed to an event, simply scan the collection barcode to check-in resources. Each collection will contain the collection Name, ID, Organization, NIMS Type, Designation, Kind, and all people / equipment associated to it. We also calculate the Cost by Hour and Cost by Day for the collection which will be the summation of rates tied to any equipment and people apart of the collection.RESOURCE AVAILABILITY
With resources using the TAG APP in the field, you can view all your resources plotted on a real‑time map and instantly see their current status. This live visibility enables faster, more informed decision‑making, ensuring the right personnel and assets are deployed to the right location at the right moment.

Layer 1 - Client Authorization
SalamanderLive operates on OAuth 2.0 authorization framework. The authentication is powered by Amazon Cognito, an identity platform offered through AWS.
We provide two options to authenticate:
- SalamanderLive Login - authenticate though SalamanderLive (authentication powered by Amazon Cognito) which handles the complete sign-on process. With this option, accounts have the option to add an additional level of security for their users via Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA). The two available MFA enforcement options are through an authenticator app or through SMS Messaging.
- Single Sign-On - SalamanderLive (authentication powered by Cognito) will hand off the authentication via OpenID Connect to a third-party provider (providing a Single Sign-On option). Custom development can be added to this workflow providing additional Authorization / Roles / Permissions from third-party.
Other security features include:
- Fifteen-minute auto logout based on inactivity
- Verification of email addresses for Users
- Verification of mobile numbers for Users
- Password reset workflow sending code to verified User mobile numbers
- Brute force password resets on next login for Users
- Time sensitive Administrator created one-time temporary unique passwords for user accounts
Layer 2 - User Authorization
SalamanderLive offers role based permissions. This process controls the user ability to use products and features as well as create, read, update, and delete data. These roles can also be customized based on account.
