SIMS On-Line Error Checking
These control on-line error checking as well as off-line audits using the SIMS Database Audits utility. Most of the checks use a "batch switching" logic in which all checks for a module can be disabled by disabling the primary checkbox.
It is strongly recommended that a full database audit be performed at once, should any of these cross-checks be modified, after SIMS has first been installed, to identify any inconsistencies that may have been introduced.
Cleared Facility Checks
If checked, enables container checks below:
Cleared Level >= Facility Level
The clearance level of the facility must be greater than or equal to the storage level of the facility. For example, a facility could not have a storage level of top secret with a clearance level of secret. Clearance levels are assigned "ranks" in the Clearance Definitions Utility. The higher the rank, the higher the clearance as treated by SIMS.
Storage Level >= AIS System Level
When an AIS record is created, check that the assigned facility’s storage level is greater than or equal to the AIS System Level. This error check is invoked if AIS Checks is turned on and the Verify Facility ID is turned on.
Cleared Personnel Checks
If checked, enables personnel checks below:
Clearance Briefed and not Debriefed
If checked, a person's clearance level is only regarded as active if there is a date in the Brief Date field and the Debrief Date field is empty.
Special Access Briefed and not Debriefed
If checked, a person's special access is only regarded as active if there is a date in the Brief Date field and the Debrief Date field is empty.
Clearance Level <= Facility Clearance Level
If checked, the rank of a person's clearance level must be less than or equal to the rank of the person's facility clearance level.
Clearance Level >= Container Clearance Level
If checked, the rank of a person's clearance level must be less than or equal to the rank of container's clearance level for the person to have access to the container.
Note: Verify Custodian ID under Containers must be checked.
Validate Special Accesses for Containers
If checked, a person must have an active special access for each special access required by the container for the person to have access to the container.
Note: Verify Custodian ID under Containers must be checked.
Clearance Level >= AIS Classification Level
If checked, the rank of a person's clearance level must be greater than or equal to the rank of an AIS classification level to become custodian of the AIS system.
Note: Verify Custodian ID under AIS must be checked.
Validate Special Accesses for AIS
If checked, a person must have an active special access for each special access required by the AIS system for the person to have access to the system.
Note: Verify Custodian ID under AIS must be checked.
Clearance Level >= Document Classification Level
If checked, the rank of a person's clearance level must be greater than or equal to the rank of a document's classification level to become the custodian of the document.
Note: Verify Custodian ID under Documents must be checked.
Validate Special Accesses for Documents
If checked, a person must have an active special access for each special access required by the document for the person to be the custodian of the document.
Note: Verify Custodian ID under Documents must be checked.
