Access Dynamic User Interface Design by selecting User Interface, then Designer from the Admin Menu.

Depending on the entity for which you are interested in creating a DUI, select the appropriate Main Menu item from the first drop down list. This list will then filter the second drop down list to display the specific areas for which DUIs can be created. The following few steps show each of the selections in the drop down lists.

When Case is selected from the drop down, the specific areas that DUIs can be created correspond to:

• Evidence - within the Evidence Tab of Main Case View, DUIs associated with Evidence Items can be created.
• Case Offense - within the Offense Tab of Main Case View, DUIs associated with Offenses can be created.
• Case Agency - within the Agency Tab of Main Case View, DUIs associated with Agencies can be created.
• Crime Scene - within the Crime Scene Tab of Main Case View, DUIs associated with Crime Scenes can be created.
• Investigation - within the Investigations Tab of Main Case View, DUIs associated with Investigations can be created.
• Case Individual - within the Individuals Tab of Main Case View, DUIs associated with Individuals can be created.
• Communication Log - within the Communications Tab of Main Case View, DUIs associated with Communications can be created.
• Narrative - within the Investigations Tab of Main Case View, DUIs associated with Narratives can be created.

When Activity is selected from the drop down, the specific DUIs that can be created correspond to:

• Communication Logs
• Training Records
• Court

When Examination Result is selected from the drop down, the specific DUIs that can be created correspond to the list of results entry forms for the root Examination Type. These Examination Types are specific to the Analytical Modules in which they will be used. The list that you see here will not correspond to the list in your organization, but is merely an example of what you might see. Examination Result DUIs are not specific to the Items related to an examination, but an overall result of an examination.

If we were to take the example of a Biology Screening Examination, your organization may choose to create an Analytical Module to use for all Biology Screening Requests. The results entry form that is named in the Analytical Module setup may also be Biology Screening (as you see in the list). The DUI associated with this Examination might include fields to record narrative results, conclusions of analysis, etc.

When Sample Result is selected from the drop down, the specific DUIs that can be created correspond to the list of results entry forms for Items related to Examination Types. These Examination Types are specific to the Analytical Modules in which they will be used. The list that you see here will not correspond to the list in your organization, but is merely an example of what you might see. Sample Result DUIs are specific to the Items related to an examination.

If we were to take the example of a Biology Screening Examination further, the results entry form that is named in the Analytical Module setup may be named Item Screening Result. On this DUI, we may choose to include fields for the entry of Preliminary Blood Screen Results (e.g. KM positive or negative or inconclusive); Preliminary Semen Screening Results (AP positive, negative, inconclusive, Spermatozoa identified, No Spermatozoa present, PSA positive, negative or inconclusive), etc. Because these results are specific to the samples being tested, this would be an example of a DUI for a Sample Result.

When Agency is selected from the drop down, the specific DUIs that can be created correspond to:

• Agency
• Agency Reps

As an example, if some of your agencies are considered within your lab's jurisdiction, and therefore you have a different fee schedule for them as opposed to outside agencies, you may wish to create a DUI to capture the agency's "location" (e.g. within jurisdiction, outside of jurisdiction). This can then allow you to separate these agencies by their "location" to determine which fee schedule to apply when billing them.

When Staff is selected from the drop down, the only DUI will correspond to Staff. An example of additional staff data you may wish to capture is their proficiency test schedule (annually, bi-annually, etc.), their pay grade/rate, etc.

The functionality for Tests has not yet been fully implemented. This document will be updated to reflect the changes once it is complete.

Any entity chosen for which you wish to make a DUI will present you with the same screen once you select Start New Design (1). Alternatively, you may also choose to edit an existing template for that entity. Existing templates will appear once the specific entity is chosen. To edit an existing template, check the box next to the template and select the edit button. In this example, we are creating a Template for Case Evidence. There are two templates in process, and I've chosen to add a third one called "Shoes". You can see from the Design Grid that there are no fields created yet, but the grid consists of 4 Rows and 4 Columns (3). Rules for the display of the template will be added later (4).

Check the box next to "Shoes" and select the Edit button (1).

There are two tabs next to the Design Grid. Select the one that says "Toolbox" and use the pin in the top left corner to "pin" it open. The toolbox contains all of the field types that may be added to a DUI. To select a field type, simply drag it from the toolbox onto a section of the grid. Only one entity can be added one grid square. The entities are:

• Label - adds a label to the grid.
• TextBox - adds a text box to the grid. This allows users to type information into the box.
• DropDownList - adds a Drop Down to the grid. The user must choose from the selections in the drop down list.
• DateTimePicker - adds a date/time field to the grid. The user is able to enter a specific date/time, or to select from the calendar presented.
• CheckBox - adds a checkbox to the grid. The checkbox has an internal label, and therefore requires no additional label.
• RadioButton - adds a radio button to the grid. The radio button has an internal label, and therefore requires no additional label, The difference between a radio button and a checkbox is that in a series of radio buttons that are grouped together, only ONE entity can be selected.
• ListBox - adds a list box to the grid. This is a list of items where more than one item in the list can be selected.
• GridView - adds a grid to the grid. This appears as a grid to the user, where each section of the grid can be a different entity type (for example, drop down, check box and text box can all appear in the grid)
• Image Attachment
• RichTextBox - similar to a text box, but allows rich text (font, font size, bold, italics, etc).

Each field type has a list of properties associated with it that will differ depending on the type. These can include the properties seen above (textbox). For the textbox, its properties include:

• Id
• ColumnName
• Type
• Visible
• ReadOnly
• TextAlign
• Width
• Data Source
• MaskExpression
• IsRequired
• Req. Validator Message
• Max Length
• Regular Expression
• Enabled for Chunk
• Is Locked after Release
• Calculation Expression

Rules can be added to display the DUI in the section pictured above. This is the "dynamic" portion of the DUI. For example, using the Shoes DUI we have been creating, we may only wish to display the fields when the evidence description contains the word "shoe". If the evidence is described as a knife, it doesn't make sense to ask the user to define shoe type, color, manufacturer, etc.

The DUI can have permissions associated with it, such that only specific user roles are able to access the fields, even if the rules conditions are met. Click the permissions icon (1) next to the Shoes template.

The User Roles will be displayed. Select the checkbox next to each of the user roles that you wish to access the DUI you have designed.
