Many features are provided in Legislation Tracker:
Clients can set up a hierarchy of users.
For instance, a company may want to assign their clients among
their employees. An administrator user can assign the clients to
each employee. When an employee logs in, they only see the clients
assigned to them. If given the proper permissions, the employee can
then assign bills to their clients as well as other actions.
Almost all features can be controlled via
roles. Users that require specific access can be assigned roles or
role groups. A role group is simply a list of roles. If a user does
not possess a role, the feature enabled by the role will be hidden
from the user. For example, if a user does not have the Email role,
the section will not be displayed/accessible to the user.
Session bills can be quickly and easily
searched. Search by bill title, purpose, text, number, type, filed
date and session year. Bill search results can be selected and
assigned to available users for tracking.
Bills in users' watch lists can be
assigned a priority. Priorities can be customized to fit client
needs. Once bills have been prioritized they can be sorted on
priority.
Users with proper permissions can create
announcements that are displayed to users on login. Announcements
can be visible to all or a select list of users. Links, resources
and bills can be included in the announcement body.
A user with this feature will see a list
of upcoming public hearings for all bills in their watch list.
Add rich text comment to any bill in the
system. Comments can be visible to all users watching the bill, or
a select list of users. The body of comments can also include links
and resources.
Bills change throughout the legislative
session in various ways. Users can create notifications that will
send them and email or create and announcement when any bills in
their watch list have changed in the desired way. For instance, a
user may want to be notified when any bill in their watch list has
been signed by the governor.
A user can upload files to their account
for use in the system. Once uploaded, a user can attach resources
to emails, insert into comments and attach them to announcements.
Uploaded resources can also be made public to all or shared to a
specific list of users.
Legislation Tracker provides an email
section which allows users to send emails directly from the system.
A dynamically created contact selection system is provided with all
available user's as well as legislation member's and committee's
email addresses.
