Attachments in the Hosted Environment
Law enforcement agencies will not be able to use embedded attachments (storing attachments in the database) in the Badger TraCS Hosted Environment but will be able to use file upload (files saved outside of the database on a file server). The file upload attachments are limited to 2MB in size with the form and will reside on the Badger TraCS Hosted Environment Server as encrypted files. If Law enforcement doesn’t want to use the file upload option, they can store all their attachments on their own server, PC or workstation, using File Link.
