Administration FAQ Field Forms Menus Messages Reports Tab UtilitiesUsers can edit their EDRS Username
Your personal PA EDRS Username is used to transmit Death Record data from Forensic Filer to the PA EDRS system via the EDRS Bridge
Note: When you Sync a Case to EDRS, your EDRS Username, along with your EDRS Password are encrypted and used to establish the connection to the PA EDRS system. The Death Record details are transmitted from Forensic Filer to the PA EDRS system using your EDRS credentials. To ease the use of the EDRS Sync feature, Forensic Filer stores your Username in your profile so that you don't have to enter it each time you sync. The first time you initiate a Sync during a particular Forensic Filer session, you will be prompted for your EDRS Password. Forensic Filer encrypts and uses that password to make the connection to EDRS, however, Forensic Filer NEVER stores that password in the database or on the server. Your EDRS Password is cached in your login session state only for the duration of your current Forensic Filer login session so that you are not prompted for each successive Sync you initiate during your current session. Once you logout of Forensic Filer (or the 30 minute auto-timeout activates), your EDRS Password is cleared from the session cache and can no longer be used until you enter it again. Also be aware that the PA EDRS system only allows a user to be logged in once at any given time, so if you are logged into the EDRS system and you sync a case from Forensic Filer, your active EDRS session will be terminated, requiring you to login again to Certify the case in EDRS.
