NCIC Import Set Up

Overview

TraCS may be configured to automatically import NCIC data for use on crashes, citations, and other forms.

You may use ELVIS or your CAD vendor or both to import persons and vehicles into TraCS.   In order for it to work, TraCS needs to be configured properly.

If you need help, contact TraCS Support and we will be happy to assist with the set up.

Once you get set up, we can push the settings out to the agency so you do not have to do it manually on each machine.

Configuration

To configure the settings, log into TraCS and go to the Tools tab, then press NCIC Import.

Go to the Settings tab and press CAD Vendor.

On the CAD Settings screen, select the applicable vendor from the list.

For vendors other than ELVIS, enter the Data Path.   You may also browse to the location.

If you want to use both ELVIS and another vendor, you will use your vendor settings.   With this setup, officers will need to press the ELVIS Import button from within the form when using ELVIS.

Press OK when done and then press Save Settings on the CAD Import screen.

Test the import by running a person or tag.   Sample data is here if needed.
