FX is a COTS initiative providing CBP with enhanced FOIA requests and responses in a single system. FX will track and manage CBP FOIA requests, process requests in a timely and efficient manner, allow for daily case management and oversight, provide reports, and provide an electronic data repository for file keeping. The project is sponsored by the Office of International Trade, FOIA Division. FX is an IIS based application, allowing users to take full advantage of an internal network that creates, edits and processes FOIA requests. The system utilizes Active Directory, and SQL databases to facilitate and store case workflows, content, metadata, etc. This web-accessible system will replace a largely manual process that consists of e-mail, multiple storage locations, and manual FOIA request tracking and workflow facilitation. The system utilizes out-of-the-box configuration of the FX application to design and manage documents, document workflows, and associated permissions. It provides users with the ability to revise existing or create new workflow elements and provides fully configurable search and reporting capabilities.
