Extended User Profile Options

Extended User Profile Options in OPS-COM allow administrators to define and manage additional, highly granular descriptive categories and values for user profiles, typically used in incident reporting. This feature enables officers to record unique physical features or identifiers of individuals involved in an incident, enhancing the detail and accuracy of incident reports.

Using this Feature

The User Extended Values Administration page allows you to add and update a variety of descriptive values for user profiles.

  1. Hover over System Configuration, then Incidents, and click Ext. User Profile Options.

The User Extended Values Administration page displays a list of currently defined extended values. Notice the various types you can choose from in the dropdown menus to categorize your extended values. A Value Type acts as a category (e.g., "Hair Type"), while the Value Description details the specific characteristic (e.g., "Balding," "Red," "Long").

Adding Extended User Value Types
  1. Scroll to the bottom of the page and select a Value Type from the dropdown menu (e.g., "Hair Type," "Clothing Color," "Tattoo Location").
  2. Type the Value Description in the textbox provided (e.g., "Curly," "Blue," "Left Arm"). Value descriptions can include a range of physical features/identifiers of a user, such as the location of a tattoo, the color of clothing, or the style of hair.
  3. Click Insert New to add and save the new extended user value.
Editing Extended User Value Types
  1. Locate the extended value you wish to edit in the list and click Edit.
  2. Adjust the Category (Value Type) and/or the Name (Value Description) by selecting the appropriate textbox and making the desired changes (e.g., changing "Bald" to "Balding").
  3. Click Save Changes to save and continue.
