Search by Plate Report

A list of all users that have matching plate information is returned below the 'Search' box.



Search by Vehicle Description

If we do not know the vehicles plate number we can search by vehicle description. In this example we are looking for a Grey Ford Hatchback.

Performing a Fuzzy Search

In this example we only have a partial plate and a description. WE can toggle on Perform Fuzzy Search where the system will list vehicles that meet these partial bits of data. IN the following example the officer only caught a partial plate of an individual speeding on campus (Plate: APVK???, Colour: Grey, Type: Hatchback) and wishes to issue a warning.

Note the APVK189 plate appears as well as Pay Station instance for APVK123 where it has found the APVK via fuzzy search.
