North Carolina has put in place a statewide voter registration/results
reporting system and they are requiring the counties to export election night
results to it. At present, the
North Carolina GEMS users must edit the Standard Export which is available in
GEMS. For their convenience, I
would like to request the creation of a “North Carolina Export”. The parameters for the export are as
follows: Enter one set of quotation marks ( “ ) in the Field Delimiter field. Make sure the Quote Strings checkbox is Unchecked (i.e. blank). Of the checkboxes in the Export Results For area, only “Individual
Precincts” should be checked. The
“Election Summary” box should be unchecked. The field titled Reporting should read “All Races”. On the lower left, in the Row area, only the Candidate box and Write-Ins
box should be checked. All of the
other boxes in this area should be unchecked. On the lower right, in the Column area, only the following boxes should
be checked: County ID Precinct ID Precinct Label Race ID Race Label Candidate ID Candidate Label Count All other boxes in the Column area must be unchecked. The North Carolina GEMS users must have the ability to edit the export
so that they can enter a state-issued number (specific to each county) in the
County field. I assume that if/when this is created, it will be added to a 1.17 GEMS
release. The North Carolina
counties are using a variety of GEMS releases, so they will all need to be
upgraded to whatever release contains the North Carolina Export. When project manager assignments are
made for the North Carolina accounts, that person (or persons) will need to
coordinate with the North Carolina accounts to do the upgrades. Tyler |
