Crash Narrative Cut Off on Printed Report: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 15:14, 5 August 2024

The limit on a crash narrative is approximately 3950 characters including spaces. If the officer goes over this limit, a warning will pop up telling them to consider splitting it onto another narrative group. This warning comes up multiple times while the officer is working on the crash.

If the officer ignores the warnings and does not split the narrative, it will be cut off on the printed copy of the crash. This will be a problem if someone requests a copy of the report from the agency or from FLHSMV.

To split the narrative, press Click Here to Add Another Narrative Page and then cut and paste part of the narrative to the new page. Do a print preview of the Official HSMV Copy printed copy to make sure that the entire narrative is visible.

If the narrative is cut off on a crash that is already in Submitted status, the officer should complete an Update. On the update, cut and paste part of the original narrative to the new page. Check the printed copy to make sure it's complete.
