HOW WEBTMS WORKS
Locate information, received through WebTMS, is managed by the Tier One Member, customizing its’ needs, within the bounds of WebTMS programming. They can select administrators, set up multiple users, see a display for dispatchers and make multiple choices through in-house organizing. Colorado 811 maintains the hardware/server at the Golden office, while the Tier One Member utilizing the program is able to control its’ use.

Archives are generated on the 1st of each month. If the last sequence date in the archive is less than 1 month old, then the archive is not ‘Final’ and will be regenerated when the last sequence date is at least 1 month old. This is done so that ticket responses at the end of each month are captured in the final archive version.
The server generates archives between 1AM and 5AM. Archives listed ‘Waiting to be processed’ will be processed during that time slot. In some cases, it may take the system 2 days to generate all archives for all users, especially January 1 and February 1, when yearly archives are also generated and then re-generated.
Archives are in Microsoft Access MDB format. Each archive contains all ticket data for their specified sequence date range, as well as all Auto-Assign, Local-Area, Positive Responses and/or grid selections.

Below are the step by step instructions for downloading the WebTMS Archives:
- Go to http://wtms.uncc.org
- Click on the “Login” button
- Type in your WebTMS username and password

- Click on the desired link under the “Download ZIP File” column to download the ZIP folder. Click on save button and save it to a destination of your choice (i.e. local computer, CD/DVD or an external hard drive)
**Archives are in Microsoft Access Database format and all tables can be linked by the ticket number.
**Be sure to wait until the archive reads “YES” under the “Final” column. There is still some processing happening on the server-side for the archives that state “NO” under “Final”.
One (1) year of data is actively stored for each member. At the end of the first ninety (90) days, a notice to archive the first thirty (30) days of locate information is sent as a reminder. An archive tool is provided through WebTMS. The Tier One Member can transfer this information to the storage of their choice.
The ticket archives can be stored in any media of your choice (i.e. CD/DVD, external hard drive or database server). Downloading all archives and the preservation of the data is the responsibility of the member/user.
