Entering a new report...
The
first thing you should do is ADD at the bottom/left. Then enter a CAD
number. If you dont currently have a CAD number you could put in
"PENDING" or enter a temporary number until you get a valid CAD
number. You can come back later and edit this number. Next
either enter a date or double click on the date field to see a calendar to
choose from. Next use the mouse to point to the check boxes and click on whether
this was a scheduled search or not. Also select whether the canine gave a
positive indication for a search or not. Then select whether the search
resulted in a positive find or not. This information is important
maintaining accurate statistical records and Hit/Miss ratios. Next enter a
start and end time of the search (Do NOT use a colon to separate the hours and
minutes). The format for the time is 0 to 23 hours and 0 to 59 minutes.
Next you should select what type of activity your team is performing. Use the mouse to point to the activity type and click on it. You can select more than one type of activity per case. You can scroll the list by using the mouse to point to the upper or lower scroll bars and left click on them to scroll the list. If that activity is not listed on the screen, you can add it to the list by going to the tables menu, selecting the tables you want to update and adding your new entry to the list. That's it. Your new entry will be in the list and available to every subsequent report. Next if you were assisting any other agencies you can select them the same way as activities. Next enter the common name of the address, then the legal address, city state and zip code. When you are finished click the save button at the lower left hand corner of the screen.
You may cancel this ADD procedure at any time by clicking the cancel button located at the bottom center of the screen.
