The Transmission Process

The Transmission Process

Transmission extracts, formats, and sends data from the TraCS office database to WisDOT, DNR, the courts, and district attorney offices. These locations should be able to download the data into their software within minutes of transmitting. During high volume days such as after the weekends or holidays it can be over 10 minutes. Badger TraCS sends out email notifications when there are issues with transmitting. Contact Badger TraCS if you want to be notified.

There are times when Transmission may also be used to move data into your RMS system if your TraCS coordinator has implemented this feature.

Internet access is required.

Forms are transmitted from the Forms Manager on an Office computer using the Data Transfer Ribbon

 

NOTE: Badger TraCS Hosted environment does not use these steps to Transmit, agencies mark forms as accepted to signal the form is ready for transmission. See more in Transmission BTHE

 

  • In the Forms Manager, select the forms to transmit.

  • Press the Transmit Button in the Data Transfer Tab

  • The following message will appear if more than one form was highlighted. Click Yes to continue.
