| OVERS System Requirements |
|
The OVERS software is called DAVE, which stands for Database Application for Vital Events. It is a web-based application that does not require the installation of any standalone software, except for biometric device drivers for those who sign death certificates. Most modern business computers should meet the minimum system requirements without further modification. Here’s what you will need to use the system.
To perform the basic functions of logging into the system, entering cases and printing forms – such as working copies of files or disposition permits – you will need:
- A high-speed internet connection
- One of the following versions of Microsoft Windows: 98SE; ME; 2000 with Service Patch 2 or higher; XP with Service Patch 1 or higher
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.x (support for 7.x is forthcoming)
- Microsoft .NET Framework 1.x or higher (we will provide if needed)
- Adobe Acrobat Reader 6.0 or higher
If you are a user who will legally sign the death certificate – funeral director or medical certifier – you will also need an APC fingerprint reader. During the first rounds, these readers will be provided to you free of charge during your training session. These devices require a USB port on your computer and Windows 2000 or Windows XP.
Users who wish to take advantage of the correspondence feature of the EDRS software will need to have Microsoft Word 2003. (Word 2003 also requires Windows 2000 or XP.) The correspondence feature allows you to access pre-made documents directly from EDRS, with pre-filled information from the current record automatically added. An example of this might be a cover letter that accompanies a death certificate, with the name and address information automatically included.
Finally, county registrars will need to have a printer connected to their computer for printing certified copies directly from the system. You will not be required to purchase a new printer. We will send you information containing our recommendations for the types of printers to use with the system.
