The National Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) module has been designed to be a stand-alone system to manage a local authority’s involvement with NSIP projects.

The Nationally Significant Infrastructure Projects module allows the user to record key information on the progress of an application through the following key stages of the NSIP process, with each stage capable of recording key information pertinent to the specific stage:

Acceptance
Pre-Examination
Examination
Recommendation and Decision
Post Decision

Features Include:

Includes a web interface for officers to record time spent on an NSIP
Online portal for consultees to view NSIPs
Notifications of deadlines in advance and workload priorities using A/R Agent
Store documents related to an NSIP at all stages
Store PINS contact details

Administer all stages of a NSIP Planning Application

In addition to the phase’s tabs, the module benefits from tabs for Details, Constraints, Workflow, Billing, Finance, Documents, Notes and Case Links.

As with all MasterGov modules NSIP benefits from a twin-tabbed search facility. The first tab contains a plethora of search criteria with the results appearing on the second tab. Users can search using one or more of the criteria fields such as reference number, project type, sub type, agricultural land class, status, location, proposal, officers, key dates etc.

When a search is instigated, any matching records will be displayed in a grid view. Colour coding is applied to quickly show the user the status of the case.

From the search results list, users can open, view, and edit cases, as well as being able to send the entire list to Microsoft Excel. As with all grids in MasterGov, a filtering facility is also available, akin to that found in Microsoft Excel.

Core Features

MasterGov is packed with common features available to all modules

Workflow

The MasterGov suite contains an integrated workflow system. This task-based system allows the Council to define workflow processes for each module and have the system automatically apply them as the case progresses.

Notifications

MasterGov is supplied with Alert and Reminder capability, allowing custom alerts / reminders to be sent to specific officers to alert them of a forthcoming deadline.

Full GIS Solutions

MasterGov is supplied with QGIS GIS Solution, providing you with all the tools required for spatial data capture, analysis and constraint checking.

Access Control

DEF recommend using an Active Directory group which is added to the SQL Server database to provide system access. In doing so the DBA does not have to add individual users to the database server. Instead individual users will be added to the AD group.

Document Management

MasterGov has its own Document Management System for storing letters, documents, certificates, emails and photographs relating to records stored in the database.

Reporting

MasterGov takes advantage of Microsoft's SSRS Reporting functionality to allow limitless Reports and Dashboards to be created across all modules within the MasterGov suite. Management dashboards and automated report delivery included as standard.
