Person Search
To issue a violation to a person tap on Person Search from the main menu of the OPS-COM app. 
This will bring up the Person Search interface which will allow you to search an existing user or create a new one. 
Name Search
Supply an existing user in the Name Search and tap Search to find the person you are looking for. If supplied by the user their full name, phone number, driver license and student/staff id will be shown here. You will also see the people alarms associated with that user which will let off a sound notification from your tablet. This allows you to perform a search on a user without issuing a violation to gather additional details about them. 
Wildcard Search
You can also perform a wildcard search that will allow you to search users based on their phone number, student/staff ID or drivers licence. 
Creating Users
If a person is not known in your system you are able to use the Create button to create a new user. The violation will then be associated to that users account.
To create a user you will need to add their personal details manually.
If the user fails to supply their personal information you can select the Failed to Identify box above the user details to continue issuing the violation.

The system allows you to issue personal, vehicle or both personal and vehicle violations.

In order for these violations to be issued you must have a ticket category that applies to users. For more information see our article on Ticket Categories. |
To begin issuing a violation to a person tap their name on the Person Search interface. This brings up the Add Violation Record window where you can begin recording your violation details.

If the user fails to supply their personal information you can select the Failed to Identify box above the user details to continue issuing the violation. 
We can also search for a user by tapping the Person Search button. This will allow us to search for a different user or to complete the user info if you were issuing a violation from Plate Search.
Click Save or Save & Print to finish issuing the violation.
