Attachment Form
The attachment form is an optional form that may be used by your agency to facilitate the transfer of non-TraCS files from the field unit to the administrative workstation. This form is provided as a convenience for your agency and the data provided on it
is used locally within the agency.
Or transmitted to the DA’s Protect system
The form is designed to be extremely flexible and meet a variety of agency needs. For example, you could use it send a fingerprint file, a work report in Word format, an Excel spreadsheet or virtually any other file on your laptop.
Your TraCS coordinator will have more information on how this form is to be used within your agency.
NOTE:
Imbedded files will no longer be available when the 64 bit baseline is released.
The only acceptable file extensions that can be printed directly from TraCS are (.pdf, .doc, .docx, .png, .jpg, .jpeg, .gif, .tif, .tiff, and .bmp)
The attachment form does not replicate to any form as it is a Case level form and other forms are needed first.
