Technical Schematic - Step #1

SettingThis Uparticle outlines the system logic and automated workflow for processing new violations and preparing them for collections. Its primary purpose is to help OPS-COM administrators understand how the platform evaluates user contact information to issue notices and automatically flags eligible violations for the collections pipeline.

    Setup and Configuration

    The initial phase of the collections process relies on automated system logic triggered by the age of the violation and the user's profile data. This workflow requires no daily manual setup, but administrators should understand the underlying conditions that drive the automation.

    When a violation reaches an age greater than the configured AutoNoticeDays, the system evaluates the primary driver's profile to determine the appropriate notification method and sets the corresponding flags:

    • Send

      Primary Driver with Email Address: The system automatically dispatches an email notification to the offendersuser. primaryIt driverthen that they have a new violation. Generally you would issueflags the record appropriately by updating the database value Violation.AutoNotice to 1.

    • Primary Driver without Email Address: The system flags the violation to be manually printed and mailed by adding it to the Letter Report. It updates the database value Violation.AutoNotice to 2.

    The initial ticket should generally be issued in the system on the same day asthe physical violation occurred to ensure the violation.AutoNoticeDays

      Best Practices and Considerations

      • Establish clear business rules regarding the timely entry of violations into the system to selectprevent who/whichdelays in the automated notification and collections pipeline.
      • Encourage users to maintain an active email address on their profiles. This maximizes the use of automated email notices (AutoNotice 1) and minimizes administrative overhead associated with printing and mailing items willfrom bethe sentLetter toReport collections(AutoNotice 2).
