In some cases, you may need to add many new offenders to iTAG quickly. The Offender Quick Book screen lets you enter basic booking information on one screen, updating your institutional count, housing your offenders, and opening trust accounts immediately.
The Offender Quick Book screen is only for adding offenders that don’t have a record in the system. Before using this screen:
Search the database to find out if the offender has a prior record in the system.
If a record exists, proceed through the normal booking sequence.
Set aside offenders that don’t have a prior record in the system, then process them all together as a batch with the Offender Quick Book screen.
The Offender Quick Book screen isn’t a shortcut to booking offenders. You still have to add the booking details later. Its use is strictly for periods of high admissions volume. To speed up the process even further, this screen can be set up to reflect the most common booking information at your site.
