Info
titleWhen do we use this?

Violation Entry allows your Patrol Officers to create a Violation for a Vehicle to be synced to the OPS-COM Administration System.


  1. When logged into OPS-COM for Android, tap on the Search Vehicle menu.
    Follow the steps in this article to locate the plate you wish to issue the violation for.
    After entering the plate number by OCR, voice or typing, the screen refreshes with a list of possible plate numbers. 
     
    Note: The red x indicating this vehicle is in violation.


  2. Select the plate number that matches the image. 
    In this case, tap AJAL506.

  3. Add vehicle details. Tap to add a vehicle description. 

  4. Tap the Select Offence Location. A drop-down menu appears for you to select the appropriate response.

  5. Tap to select an Offence Type, and a drop-down menu appears for you to choose the appropriate response. To change the fee from the default amount decided by the offence types you can select the fee amount. 

  6. Tap on Towing Fee to add one if required. The cursor blinks to indicate you are in input mode. Enter an amount. 

  7. Take pictures for proof in case of a dispute. 

  8. Tap Save and Print. Ensure that the printer is powered on and connected. A Ticket will print, and the handheld device will return to the Vehicle Search screen.

titleImportant Note:


Best Practice Tip

Note the reminder at the top of the screen indicating there is data to sync. 

This is especially important at the end of a shift. You don't have to sync when you see the flashing bar immediately.

You can continue working. It's just a reminder. But if it is flashing, officers should make sure they sync before powering down or at least go back to the main menu and stay there for 30 seconds. The unit will auto sync at that point.

It will also auto-sync when you exit the app. 
Officers can also select synchronize data from the main menu to force a sync.



Using Groups and Zones

Plate searching and vetting can be focused on using groups and zones.
When using virtual lots, you can specify groups and specific zones within the group.  
For example, there may be parking available closer to a building that could be reserved for specific groups of people.

4. Viewing the Vehicle Details shows the permit information.
Note: The green flag indicating the permit is valid for this Group, Zone, and Time Slot. ( After 4:00 pm )


Secondary Check On Permit Validity

When creating violations, the handheld units will perform a secondary check on the vehicle to alert the patrol officer if the plate has a valid permit.
In our example, the plate QWE321 has a valid monthly permit in the Green Student Lot East (M-GSLE).
