For all documents in a candidate’s DAR/Inadequate DAR Ltr Response, the document handle will be in the order that they were entered into OnBase. When you view the DAR/Inadequate DAR Ltr Response custom query search results they will automatically be sorted in ascending order by document handle.

Document Type: These are the types of documents received as part of a candidate’s DAR Response and Inadequate DAR Letter response packages. 

Received Date: This is the date that the documents arrived at the CFB. Documents that are received as part of the same DAR Response package will have the same Received Date. Documents with different Received Dates were received at another time or as part of the Inadequate DAR Letter Response. 

Candidate ID: The candidate’s unique CFB ID number. 

Candidate Name: The candidate’s name. 

Election Cycle: The election cycle for which the DAR Response was received.

The DAR/Inadequate DAR Ltr Response custom query only includes documents received as part of the DAR Response package or Inadequate DAR Letter Response.

When you roll your mouse over these arrows with pages toolbar icons you will notice that they say “Previous Document” and “Next Document”. If you do not have these green arrows with pages, please contact the ECM Team so that we can provide you with them. When you want to go to the next document, click on the “Next Document” icon. This will open up a new OnBase window with the next document displayed. When you get to the end of the document once again click on the “Next Document” icon to go to the next document.
