THE FIRST SEVEN SECTIONS ARE DATA ELEMENT DICTIONARIES FOR EACH OF THE SEVEN SCRMS SYSTEMS. THE SEVEN SYSTEMS ARE PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT, BUDGET CONTROL, INVENTORY CONTROL, PRISON INDUSTRY, FOOD SERVICES, MAINTENANCE, AND INMATE TRANSPORTATION. THE LAST SECTION IS A COMPOSITE SCRMS 'DATA ELEMENT INDEX.' EACH DATA ELEMENT DICTIONARY CONTAINS AN ALPHABETICAL LISTING OF SYSTEM DATA ELEMENTS WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE DEFINITIONS. FOLLOWING EACH DEFINITION, ONE OR MORE CODE LETTERS APPEAR IN PARENTHESES TO IDENTIFY THE APPLICATION(S) WHICH THE DATA ELEMENT SUPPORTS. THE DICTIONARIES ARE DESIGNED AS STAND-ALONE REFERENCE DOCUMENTS AT THE SYSTEM LEVEL, EACH CONTAINING DEFINITIONS FOR ALL OF THE DATA ELEMENTS USED IN THAT PARTICULAR SCRMS SYSTEM. THE DATA ELEMENT INDEX PRESENTS A COMPOSITE LIST FOR ALL OF THE SCRMS MODEL SYSTEMS. THE DATA ELEMENTS ARE LISTED IN ALPHABETICAL ORDER, AND EACH ELEMENT IS CROSS-REFERENCED TO THE SYSTEM OR SYSTEMS IN WHICH IT APPEARS. FOR THE OTHER VOLUMES IN THIS SERIES, SEE NCJ 66958 AND 66960.
