<br />setting up definition files for codes. This allows easy modification without re-programming if <br />new items are needed or changes in terminology are required. These definition files are used for <br />on-line verification of data, to translate codes to text on reports and inquiries, and for generation <br />of "help" screens. <br /> <br />Because an agency may define its codes in any manner, a report definition capability is provided. <br />This allows each agency to tailor management, statistical, crime analysis, VCR, NFIRS and EMS <br />reports to meet specific coding requirements. In multi-jurisdictional installations, the system <br />allows agencies to share codes, if appropriate, so that duplicate entry is not required. If each <br />agency wishes to utilize unique codes, it is permitted within the software. <br /> <br />Message Handling - The software allows for the transfer of messages between users on the <br />terminals. In the dispatch area, any messages which are received are displayed on the secondary <br />screen, rather than on the primary working screen. If mobile data terminals or hand held terminals <br />are used, they may be utilized to send and receive messages from any terminal. These messages <br />can either be reviewed and purged or logged permanently. When inquiry results are returned <br />from the State or NCIC, they are automatically routed to the appropriate user and dispatchers may <br />also merge them into the case file, if desired. <br /> <br />The communications capabilities provide for the routing of inquiries to multiple host processors. <br />A single entry of data may be formatted automatically by the system to meet the needs of these <br />different hosts (e.g. state and county computers) without the user having to re-key or re-format <br />the data. <br /> <br />Hal'dwal'e - ALR created the software system utilizing the powerful relational data base of the <br />IBM AS/400. The AS/400 provides the best cost effectiveness in the industry. New RISC <br />processors make the AS/400 one of the most powerful platforms available, while providing an <br />'open' approach to inter-connectivity. <br /> <br />Several front-end communications controllers are available. All operate using the same <br />functionality. These include the IBM AS/400, RS/6000 and 486/Pentium PC's. These <br />processors allow the user to more efficiently access outside data bases and to integrate directly' <br />with other devices. <br /> <br />All modules are designed to interact with all other modules of the system. The modules which <br />are part of the software are the following: <br /> <br />Computer Aided Dispatch <br />CAD Statistics Module (If CAD purchased without a Records Management System) <br />Law Enforcement Records Management System <br />Juvenile Records Management System <br />FirelEMS Records Management System <br />Name Consolidation Module <br />Records Purge Module <br /> <br />5 <br />
