The EnRoute FBR (Field Based Reporting) suite of products are wherever you need to be. It provides you with the information to help WIN THE RACE AGAINST TIME®.

Overview

The EnRoute FBR application is designed to replace paper forms being completed in the field with an electronic equivalent. Built with the mobile user in mind, these user-defined reports allow field personnel to complete and submit before becoming available for next call.

Benefits include selection of codes and statutes from drop-down lists, validation of data, and access to data already entered without having to rekey details.

The EnRoute FBR application is designed to run with our EnRoute Mobile application on a laptop that interfaces with our EnRoute Law Enforcement CAD system. Navigation of the application becomes easier with a touch screen.

Reports entered by personnel can be easily uploaded to the EnRoute Law Enforcement Information and Investigations records system using any TCP/IP connection.

Electronic reporting has many advantages and features over the paper form. Coded fields assist the reporter in selecting valid values ranging from vehicle make and model to federal and state codes. User-determined field level data editing ensures that required fields are completed and that the data entered are valid or correct.

Key Features

• Touch Screen - Large buttons and other "clickable" areas make it easy to use the touch screen without a mouse.
• Customizable - A user-oriented tool to allow customization of input screens after initial installation is available. Field reports can be developed and customized to your agency's specific needs.
• Colors - Fields can be color coded for easier reading or to visually group related data.
• Accuracy - Data fields are validated both at time of entry and when saving the report. This ensures that required fields have been completed and validated and that cross-edit checks have been performed.
• Drop-down Lists - Drop-down lists of valid codes and their descriptions are provided for all coded fields. Field personnel can search the list using either the code or description.
• Review and Approval - Review and approval process is done electronically by field level supervisors in their vehicles and then sent to records. Rejections can be returned at any point.
• Audit Trail - An extensive audit trail is maintained for reports throughout the entire review and approval process. Management reports reveal the exact movement of and current location of any report to supervisors and records personnel.
• Navigation - Support is available for both keyboard and mouse/touch screen navigation for your personal choice.
• Windows "Look and Feel" - Standards for Microsoft Windows have been followed for familiarity and ease of use.
• Single Entry of Data - Once information has been entered, it is available to all reports being completed on the same laptop.
• Report Entry Windows - Windows are arranged in easy-to-follow hierarchies of data, with summaries of multiple sets of data arranged on their own tabs for easier viewing and updating. The "tree" provides an instant review of open windows and instant access to those windows.
• Sketching - Users can draw accident or arson crime scenarios and other diagrams for attachment to a report.
• Field Transmissions - Users can use the TCP/IP network to send their reports to other EnRoute FBR users for review and receive the reports back for corrections and/or completion. This same method can be used to allow users to start a report on their laptop and complete the report later at the office or in another car/vehicle.
• Multi-tasking - EnRoute FBR allows field personnel to switch to a new report without closing the previous report. Personnel can review and edit multiple reports simultaneously, even if they are of different types.
• Display Images - Images can be easily received and displayed, such as blueprints, building layouts, mug shots, etc. from the server that is tied to reports, buildings, addresses, or people.
• Capture Images - Photos can be taken on scene and digitally uploaded to laptop for report attachment.
