Setting the 4RE Import Settings

Note:  These instructions correspond to step 11 on the 4RE recommended workflow.

The 4RE Import settings allow you to indicate whether VideoManager EL (EL) should import recorded events from a 4RE USB thumb drive automatically or manually.

Tip:  The 4RE Import settings only apply to recorded events imported using the USB thumb drive from the 4RE.

If you choose to import automatically, when a 4RE USB thumb drive containing recorded events is connected to EL, EL automatically starts importing the events. The import takes place in the background so you can work in other areas of EL while recorded events are importing.

If you choose to import manually, you set up how your agency should handle event categorization and officer assignment during import.

   1. Verify or update whether recorded event categories can be edited during the manual import process.
   2. Verify or update whether all events must be categorized before they are imported.
      1. Important!  When this option is selected, EL does not allow the import process to continue until any uncategorized events are categorized.
   3. Verify or update whether officer names can be edited during the manual import process.
   4. Verify or update whether recorded events can be deleted prior to import.
      1. Important!  Officers/Users must also have the Delete Before Import permission assigned to their user group to delete events before import.
   5. Verify or update whether all unassigned recorded events should automatically be assigned to the officer logged into EL at import.
      1. Note:  EL only automatically assigns unassigned events to the logged-in officer when the officer has the correct security permissions assigned in Organization Management.
