Home
The Home page in Report Writing serves as a dashboard that allows you to view all active reports for your agency in one place, as well as create new ones.
On the left side of the page, the My Reports and Other Reports tabs display, and are used to filter the dashboard to either show reports you have created or are contributing to, or those created by other users, respectively. Within each of these tabs are various check boxes that can be used to further filter the reports displaying, such as for the report's type or status.
Initially, the Home page opens with the My Reports tab selected. However, whichever tab is selected when you log out of Report Writing automatically remains selected each time you log in until manually changed. Similarly, the filters selected within the tabs save to your roaming profile and remain applied each time you log in until you manually change them again.
On the right side of the Home page, active reports display in the form of cards containing basic information about each report that can be viewed at a glance. As information is added or edited on a report, its corresponding card on the Home page automatically updates as well. Examples of the information displaying on report cards may include a subject's name, the location where the reported event took place, the name of the primary officer on the report.
Each card is colored at the top, representing the report's current status, which displays in the upper-left corner of the card. The colors of the various report statuses are as follows:
-
In Progress: navy blue
-
Pending Review (by a supervisor): light green
-
RMS Queue: green
-
Under Review (by a supervisor or in the Enterprise Records (RMS) queue): dark green
-
Rejected (by a supervisor or Enterprise Records personnel): red
-
Submission error: red
-
Reviewing: black
The reviewing status is only available for supervisors.
Additionally, the following icons may display on the right side of the cards:
-
Recall
button: Returns the report to a status of In Progress, allowing you to continue making edits before resubmitting it for review.
The Recall button only displays when a report has a status of Pending Review or RMS Queue.
-
Delete
button: Allows you to delete a report. When the button is clicked, a confirmation message displays, asking you to confirm that you want to delete the selected report. Click Delete to complete the action.
The Delete button only displays when a report has a status of In progress or Rejected, and you either created the report or are contributing to it.
-
Export
button: Allows you to export arrest reports to the Jail Manager application for its pre-booking software.
The Export button only displays on arrest reports when your agency is on the 2025.1 version of Enterprise Records and is integrated with the Jail Manager application.
-
Print
button: Allows you to print a copy of the selected arrest report or case report.
For additional information on the Print button and printing functionality in Report Writing, see Basics - Printing.
-
Information
button: Displays when a report submitted to Enterprise Records has a status of Submission Error. Clicking the button opens the Submission Details dialog, which provides additional information about the error and its location within the report.
Clicking a card opens the report. Depending on who created the report and whether you are contributing officer, the following may occur:
-
If you created the report or are a contributing officer on it, you can view and edit its fields.
-
If the report was created by another user and you are not a contributing officer, it displays in view only mode. However, if the report has a status of In Progress or Rejected, the Contribute
button displays at the top of the report. Clicking this button adds you as a contributing officer and allows you to edit its fields.
For additional information on being a contributing officer on a report, see the Contributing Officer help topics, available within each of the Arrest Report, Case Report, Field Interview, and Incident Report sections.
In the lower-right corner of the Home page is the + Add New 
button, which is used to create a new report. Additional information on the process for starting the different types of reports can be found on their associated Creating a Report help pages:
