The Field-based Reporting Interfaces utilize Spillman’s duplication logic by checking to see if a name, citation, warning, accident, or vehicle record already exists in the system to help avoid importing duplicate data. The E-Citations and Accidents Forms interfaces automatically populate information collected by third-party software into the appropriate Spillman records. If an existing record is not found, the interface will create a new one. The interfaces also protect you from data loss when encountering mismatched data. In addition, the interfaces allow you to choose whether the incoming data is stored in applicable fields or automatically recorded in the comments field. You have the option of customizing your Field-based Reporting Interfaces to accept data from a specific Global Justice XML interface. This ensures compatibility between the E-Citation or Accident Forms program and the Spillman system, based on the federal government’s communications standard for law enforcement information exchanges. Spillman’s Field-based Reporting Interfaces allow agencies to easily populate information from third-party reporting systems into the Spillman database. Officers working in the field can enter a new record into a third-party system and have it transferred to one of the Field-based Reporting interfaces using XML. Citation or accident information contained in the report is then automatically populated into the appropriate Spillman records. Spillman’s Field-based Reporting Interfaces are currently available for users with a UNIX operating system. advantages Reduce time spent re-entering data.
