FEATURES, ADVANTAGES, AND DESIGN OF AN INFORMATION SYSTEM WHICH PROVIDES ONLINE CALENDAR, CASE HISTORY, NAME, AND IDENTIFICATION NUMBER INDEX INFORMATION.
Abstract
THE CALENDARING PORTION OF THE BASIC COURTS SYSTEM (BCS) AIDS THE COURT ADMINISTRATOR IN KEEPING A CENTRALIZED UPDATED RECORD OF COURT SCHEDULES AND CALENDARS. THE CASE HISTORY SECTION STORES SUCH INFORMATION AS CASE NUMBERS, ENTITLEMENT, TYPE, AND FILING DATE. THE THIRD SUBSYSTEM, THE NAME AND IDENTIFICATION NUMBER INDEX, STORES DATA ON PERSONS INVOLVED IN THE JUDICIAL PROCESS AND ENABLES THE STORAGE AND RETRIEVAL OF INFORMATION ON THE BASIS OF A NUMERICAL KEY SUCH AS A BOOKING NUMBER OF AN FBI NUMBER. COURT DATA MAY BE VIEWED ON BOTH LOCAL AND REMOTE GRAPHIC DISPLAY TERMINALS OR TYPEWRITER-LIKE TERMINALS. THE REPORT CONTAINS GENERAL DESCRIPTIONS APPLICATION SUBSYSTEMS, SUBSYSTEM FILES, AND BCS PROGRAMS. CONTROL, AUDIT, SECURITY, AND PLANNING CONSIDERATIONS ARE ALSO REVIEWED. THIS BOOKLET IS ILLUSTRATED BY CASE HISTORY, NAME AND IDENTIFICATION NUMBER INDEX, COURT CALENDAR, AND DATA FILE SAMPLES. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
