Overview
The Data Agent connects to Enterpol's SQL Server database. GovWorx needs a user with permission to do so.
Network Requirements: The server running the Data Agent should be able to connect to the CAD Reporting server over port 1433. This can be tested using PowerShell.
PowerShell Command:
Test-NetConnection -ComputerName {CAD Reporting Server name or IP} -Port 1433
Standard Data Fields
These are the standard data fields the Data Agent reads from Enterpol. The tables below show each GovWorx field and the Enterpol column it comes from. Source names are columns of the vCommCoach_IncidentUnits view unless the row says otherwise.
Note: Additional fields are considered enhancement requests.

Data Agent Settings
To prepare for this connection, we need the following details. These are settings in the GovWorx Data Agent configuration for this connector. A toggle is an on/off switch in that configuration.
Setting | Type | Explanation |
| Text | Host of the reporting database |
| Toggle | Whether to use Windows Authentication to connect to the database |
| Text | Database username. Provide when not using integrated security |
| Password | Database password. Provide when not using integrated security |
| Text | Database name |
| Toggle | Toggle will fill Caller Name from the CAD. When off, Caller Name stays empty. |
| Toggle | Toggle will add the incident description as the first note of each incident. This works only when the vCommCoach_IncidentUnits view has the IncidentDescription column. |
| Toggle | Toggle will use the call taker name as the Call Taker ID. It also uses the EnteredByName column of vCommCoach_IncidentUnitMemos, when present, as the note author. |
| Toggle | Toggle will add Incident Log memos as CAD notes. The vCommCoach_IncidentLogMemos view must exist. |
| Number | Hours back to look on the first run, before the Data Agent has a last-run time. Default: 3. |
| Number | Caps how far back a stale cursor can reach so an idle or reconnected connector does not issue an oversized catch-up query. Default: 8. |
| Toggle | Toggle will use the earliest CAD note time as Call Received Time. Use it when the first note marks the start of the call better than the CAD pickup time. Call Pickup Time does not change. When no note has a time, Call Received Time stays as read from CAD. Default: off. This setting is on every CAD connector. |
