EDRMS

This system is sometimes referred to as TRIM. This comes from the software package the provincial government has adopted as the standard for ministries to manage paper and electronic record Which is called Total Records and Information Management ("TRIM"). Since the acronym TRIM has been in use in the BC government for years denoting spatial data (Terrain Resource Information Management), we will use the acronym EDRMS for Enterprise Document and Records Management System.

There are two lists of categories:

FOR 22000-xx  FFT General - Policy 

FOR FFT General - Activities 

This will be set up to file referal information by recipients for both monthly and yearly proposed activities that we want District staff to look at and access easily.  These will have a District subcategory for the province and Recipients will need to send their information by District area to a FFT forester for filing. 

Our opening numbers are located in FOR-18750-20 and we can store information on these digitally at any time.  It is OK to have some info in EDRMS and the rest on the paper file.  The goal will be to have all or most info in digitally going forward so we all can look up the file info.  Our contract files are the same and in our office our contracts clerks enter some of this info into EDRMS.  These files can be found by looking up the Retrieval Code from the contract or doing a Forest Stewardship query by year.
