Through interactive development they decided to create hyperlinks that pointed to another static Web page that explained the codes' meanings. Another development concern was data and system security. To ensure security, the DPR pulled five years' worth of data from the online system and loaded it into a data mart. Initially, I was very hesitant about using CATS because our other programs were written in Foxpro. The last report replaced an almost fully manual process and has significantly improved the time it takes for DPR inspectors to conduct routine investigations.
Applicators can get information on the status of their certification, training, and education.
The Enforcement History application allows field inspectors to do more than they ever could before. Secondly, they can track individual applicators by license numbers. An applicator may move from a company in one territory to a company in another territory, without a change in license number. Inspectors simply enter the license number into the system and know the applicator's violation history. Applicators and pest control businesses maintain the same license number as long as they are in business.
