BERT Main Screen

Icons on Main Screen of BERT

There are several icons on the main screen for BERT. These icons are shortcuts for the File, Tools, and Help. Save – Will allow the user to save custom county report. Save As – Gives the user the ability to save a report with a unique name so that the report may be ran on a regular basis. Delete – Allows the user to delete a report that was created at the county level. Run – Allows the requested report to collect data and then be prepared for Export. Clear – This option will clear any search criteria selected from the Criteria, Sort/Group and Export tabs. Help – Directs the user to the SEIMS Help Files.

Items available in the drop downs

The user can select different items to run from the List Type drop down and the Existing Profiles drop down. List Type ‐ Voter Registration List, Voter History List, and Voter Statistics. Existing Profile ‐ Voter Registration List, Household Label, Individual Label, and Walking List. Voter List – The radio buttons are used to further narrow the results for the export file.

The list details gives the user a visual display of what the Selected Criteria, Group/Sort and Export information is for any given request. In the example displayed here: The requested items are Active and Inactive voters, between the age of 18 and 25; Sorted by PCT then by Last Name. The Export file will contain:

• Birth date

The Tabs located under the Voter List section allows the user to create/modify, Sort/Group, and Export criteria fields.
