Remarkable Page Layout: San Bernardino County

More than anything, this category is about results. The nominee has utilized the page layout editing tool to increase efficiency, anticipate the user’s experience, ease staff training, reduce data entry time, or remove complexity by simplifying workflows.

The San Bernardino County Environmental Health Department received this award for their Foodborne Illness UDFs. They leveraged EnvisionConnect’s flexible UDF system to tailor their data collection to meet their needs in the FBI program. They took advantage of the two possible meanings of “F” in UDF, and used both User Defined Fields and Forms. They also added six fields to the complaint table, and linked a new form to a table (with 85 fields of its own) to collect individual involved person data. Through this project, they gained demonstrated the elasticity and effectiveness of the system.

Brilliant Use of System Tools: San Mateo County

An excellent use of system tools comes from branching out externally to get feedback and services outside of EnvisionConnect – utilizing superior automation. Example of utilizing System Tools: get directions from the office; confirm APN property ownership, connect to an external document management system.

The San Mateo County Environmental Health Department was awarded the Brilliant Use of System Tools Award for their use of a script to access and create e-files. An advantage of using the EnvisionConnect to access e-filing is that there is less room for error since it uses the ID number for the record. Also, the process is much faster than searching through the drive for the correct folder. The system tool has enabled us to all staff to e-file as the process creates the folder structure eliminating the concerns for misfiling.

Influential Innovation: Ventura County

When it comes to leadership and innovation, this agency was a cut above the rest.
