12 years ago This will be useful for the to-be-deploy site of our Mountain rescue Team.
Been test with Categories way, but the Category function only support one level parent, that is not sufficient for our needs. Try using custom form fields for the additional data but the custom form fields feature is broken in development code.
When I get used to the core functions of Ushahidi, I may try some coding to make features like this works.

We keep track of additional data related to the incidents, including information like casualty numbers, internally displaced people, and people injured. This is information we'd like to be able to visualize in the map so that, for example, you could choose a sub-category like casualties it would display the number of casualties for each incident, but as you zoom out it could show how many casualties have occurred total in a given area (and perhaps even over a selected period of time). This would be useful for the Nigeria Security Tracker, but also many others who use crowdmap. In this way you could map both the incidents and select information contained in the reports.
