Easy to Use & Affordable Public Records Request Management
The Public Records Request solution (PRR) is a web-based application specifically designed to facilitate the public records request process. With the PRR solution, the public can quickly and easily request the documents they need, and will be automatically notified the process has begun.
The solution stores information related to the type of request, the amount of time spent gathering information, and key information about the requestor. The individual forms that the public sees can be based on your current paper or online form and customized to capture the specific pieces of information needed to respond to a records request.
Once submitted, the system sends an email to the appropriate person or department letting them know a request has been submitted and automatically creates a ‘Due Date’ based on the state or local guidelines you follow.
Reduce the Amount of Time & Cost Spent Responding to Public Requests

From a link on your website, citizens simply select the type of request (police, general, or other) and enter information into a customizable form.

You can create a ‘Task’ (such as ‘Gather Information’ or ‘Review Documents’, etc.) by using a simple template, and assign that task to others. Tasks can be selected from a customizable drop down list.
Assign Tasks
Easily assign tasks to others. You can set up a list of responders, and simply check on the name(s) for assignment. When needed, you can also create new responders on the fly.
Email Assignment
The email function allows you to assign a request directly to people without having to create a specific ‘Task’.
Task Tracking
Solution generated tracking notifies those needing to act, and tracks the task completion status.
