Technology Committee Report - Website Update - 12-1-16
As the Technology chair, I have been looking for ways to enhance the NAPPS Job Post feature. Some of ways are installing of Google Maps, drop down of document types and providing rules for all 50 states in order to provide more information to the member.
Updates and or Features to be or have installed on live NAPPS website as follows:
- Install a "Runner" in the Members Only Section and or Home page of website to display breaking news or upcoming events.
- Design and build a NAPPS App to replace Whova – Conventions, news & Updates
- Add a "Return to Home" bottom at the bottom of each page/link.
- Added Disclaimer Terms of Use *
- Added Drop down “Document Type” and listed 15 common documents served:
- Added Disclaimer wording under comments and above Send E-Mail *
- Created a database spread sheet for all 50 State rules that can be updated anytime
- Added State rules of receiving state – This will let members know that some state required “First Paper” to be attempted by Sheriff based on statute.
- Display the Six most current issues of the docket in Members only section
- Job Post Email - Job post will send the state rules of origin, when requesting a quote.
- Add/install on our website Google maps widget. The Google maps will show the pinning of the “Locations” of each member is located hosted on the NAPPS website based on address or zip code search, while providing an SEO benefit.
*Add Disclaimer Terms of Use on Job Post section of website:

I will be attending the National Center for State Courts “NCSC” conference in Las Vegas December 12-14, 2016. This convention will provide an in-depth look and discussion on e-court technology infrastructure and how it is being implemented on a national basis. I continue to post industry related articles on a monthly basis to our social media outlets regarding court updates, technology changes and fun facts to the benefit of our audience.
