That meant finding a way to help staff keep up with processing the 50,000 pages of statements that arrived in the mail each month, adding to the 20 years of back files spread out over 400 square feet of file cabinet space that had already spilled over into two storage lockers filled with statements and account records.

I just set up my first Quick Fields session using Real Time Lookup and it was so amazingly easy! The lookup process is very easy to use if you’ve dealt at all with ODBC Data Sources. Once I had my ODBC data source set up to know what database on what network drive, the rest was simply a matter of knowing the data and where it goes on the document template. I was even able to go to the ODBC data sources configuration from within the Quick Fields window, instead of having to go through Control Panel. The wizard walked me all the way through with no trouble at all.

Time was, when an officer from Ontario’s Hamilton Police Service (HPS) responded to investigate a call about an EDP (emotionally disturbed person), they’d have two choices to determine risk factors as they proceeded: Drive back to the station with the EDP to look up past reports - or place a call and wait for a Records Clerk to pull the report and read it to them over the phone. Either way, the officer would be off the street, sometimes for hours, waiting for the necessary information to act on.

These days, however, an officer responding to the same call can pull up reports right in their patrol car, accessing information vital to the safety of the EDP – and the public – using just a name, incident number or other simple keyword.

In addition, Quick Fields 8 includes several new processes, such as Substitution and Text Identification, that use regular expressions to work with a document’s text, so familiarity with the new regular expression syntax will enable you to take full advantage of them.
