Added a new function called ”Ready For Dispatch”. This function is useful in situations where call takers are separated from dispatchers. The Call Taker can click the R-F-D button when the call is ready (sufficient information has been collected) to be dispatched. When the button is pressed the corresponding incident turns Green in the Recent window to alert dispatchers that the call is ready for dispatch. The date and time of the RFD function is logged to the TimeLine in the security Events. To enable this function use the System Preferences under the Maintenance Menu. Check the box to use the RFD function in the CAD Options. This will enable the R-F-D button for CAD Operators and Supervisors Only.

4.7.18 as of 10/27/2010
Reports Manager: Lawman now allows users to create and maintain discrete Primary and Supplement reports. You can have a total of 999 individual reports per Incident. Reports are now managed from a Reports Manager screen (accessed by the Reporting Button in Lawman). At this screen you will be allowed to edit, secure, add notes and change the report tracking for each individual report, so long as your security level is sufficient or you are the owner of the individual report. Report security has also been beefed up. Reports can no longer be left in an open state. Reports are either secured before leaving the Reports Manager screen or they are secured automatically upon exit. Special characters generated in the Microsoft Office html files are no longer a problem. Old version reports are automatically converted to the new specs when they are accessed for the first time with the new system. Reporting can now be conducted on Closed Incidents. Reports are now closed/secured individually and supplements can be added at anytime. This new version of Lawman requires the addition of two new data files to the database and each workstation will need to be updated with the Lawman_Reports_Update_Setup.exe before use.

4.7.19 as of 12/01/2010
Location Common Names: Lawman has been upgraded to do automatic “Location Common Name (AKA)” searches. This feature becomes available if the House, House Suffix and Street fields are all left blank. Then at the time that the cursor enters the Apt/Loc field it changes a Location AKA dropdown box. You can begin to type the Location Name and the field will “Type Ahead” and drop down to “Auto Suggest” items in the list. When sufficient characters have been typed the field can be exited. If a valid Location AKA was selected from the list, the appropriate address will be “Backfilled” into the House, House Suffix, Street and Apt/Loc Fields.

4.7.19.4 as of 12/16/2010
Changes to Lawman Reports Manager: A field has been added to allow the report owner to assign a report to anyone that has a security classification in the system. Reporting has been “Disconnected” from the main Lawman screen. You can now do Inquiries and Lawman Maintenance while a report is open. The “Reporting” button will stay disabled until the Report Manager is closed. When clicking on a report in the Reports Manager a new option is available. “Change Report Track/Re-Assign Ownership”. This option allows an owner to directly re-assign a new owner, change note and/or change the report tracking code without opening the report.

Changes to Lawman: The Offense History screen now defaults to show “All Departments”. This feature is only meaningful in multi- department installations.

4.7.20.5 as of 4/8/2011
Additions to Lawman Reports Manager: The Reports Manager now includes a Report Title/Description for each individual report. This is a 500 character field to be used to give reports meaning at a glance. An example would be “Interview with Jane Doe 3/23/2011”. This description is completely free form and can be used as customers see fit. The Report Title/Description is accessed along with the Report Notes on the Report Notes Screen. Authorized Users are now able to Change Authors. When an Authorized User clicks on a Report Line in the Reports Manager, the popup screen will display, with the addition of the line “Change Author”. Clicking this line will display the screen to allow the user to enter a New Author. Entering a new Author on this screen and clicking OK will complete the process. Authorized Users are also able to Rearrange/Shuffle Reports by Drag and Drop. This function can arrange Reports in a chronological order as desired. To use the Drag/Drop function, the Authorized User needs to press and hold the CTRL key, then click and drag a report to the desired position in the list and release the mouse button to drop and complete the process. Rules before Drag and Drop are enabled: The Incident of the Report must be Open on the Main Lawman screen to insure that the report is locked to other users and All Reports on the Reports Manager screen must be in a Secured Status. Authorized Users for Changing Authors and Report Shuffling are any users who have Report Approval/Archiving Authority in Lawman Security.
