As a member of the Sales Department at Cardinal Tracking Inc., I have the pleasure of working many Tradeshows around the country. Yes it can be rough on the feet but it does give you opportunities to meet new agencies and speak to existing clients. At a recent show in San Diego I had one of our existing clients stop by our booth. The Chief was looking for a mechanism to assist the department with filling out the paperwork required by the DA. Basically the officers were being overwhelmed with paperwork and the Chief was looking to see if Cardinal had a solution that reduced that burden. I demonstrated to the Chief a feature called Template Editor which is basically a forms builder using Microsoft Word. This feature allows an agency to create Prosecution Reports, Case Coversheets or basically any form to pull data stored in the Badge RMS and auto fill the document.
How it works:
Fields inside the Badge RMS have “Bookmark Names”. These Bookmarks are added to your Microsoft Word document. While on a record in the Badge RMS the officer will launch Template Editor to start the process. The feature will create your document and will automatically take data from the Badge RMS to help you fill out the paperwork. That saves everybody time and helps keep the staff out on patrol.
This feature will help reduce the double entry of data when creating needed forms and best of all its free to our clients. This feature will not cost your agency a dime to implement so why not get started? Call the Cardinal Support line today to learn more about the Template Editor feature and how it can benefit your department.
