Page design and content

The individual forms are only described in more detail when special non-DVI or MPUB user knowledge is needed. This user guide assumes that the you are already trained in the DVI / MPUB area and knows about the practical use of the paper-based forms. One source of such knowledge is the DVI Guide – practical compendium to forms C and D of the INTERPOL DVI forms. Another source is the INTERPOL Disaster Victim Identification Guide.

Page design

Screen pages replicate the printed INTERPOL forms (but with added functionality), so you will never be in any doubt about where data from the INTERPOL forms must be inserted into the system.

In the printed DVI forms you see the a, b and c column on the right side of a form page:

File abc columns

Column a: If column a is marked, there is no data available for the data field.
Column b: If column b is marked, an attachment exists relating to this data field.
Column c: If column c is marked, there is an additional text note (further info on page Sup. Info. (700’s).
