How to set up an info sharing agreement

Administrators can set up an info sharing agreement, which allows users to search data between agencies, from the Info sharing agreement screen which is opened from the main menu by clicking Settings, Admin settings then Agreements in the Info sharing group.

  1. On the main menu click Settings, then click Admin settings.

    The Admin settings screen opens.

  2. Click Agreements in the Info sharing group.

    The Info sharing agreement screen opens.

  3. In Agency, select who you want to share data with.

    NOTE: If the agency you want to share data with is not listed then contact Gladiator Forensics support.

  4. By default Enabled, Allow inbound search and Allow outbound search are all selected. Typically these are the normal settings but if for example you only want to search another agency's data and not allow them to search your data then you must clear Allow inbound search.

  5. If the agreement is only planned for a fixed period of time then select a Start and End date. If the agreement is indefinite then these settings must remain clear.

  6. Click Save.

    An email is sent to the administrator of the other agency who must then approve the agreement before information can be shared. A link in the email opens this screen where the agreement can be approved by selecting Approve in the Actions menu.
