The records of the third category are open to access for the Members, their staff, and also House, Committee and Legislative Bureau staff, as a menu of services offered through the Bureau's internet homepage. Needless to say, the Tracking Request System is a closed system inside the Bureau. All of the functions of the system to display, retrieve, create new records, and enter or modify records can only be done by client PCs in which special application software for this system is installed. Groupware such as Lotus Notes is not used for the system. When a request is transmitted to a research division, the sender's action to specify the destination is registered on the server and the server is visited by client PCs periodically, using a timer.
Approvers also rewrite the record in the server in process of approval.
