Public information and petitions

Freedom-of-information requests, petitions and duplicate documents.

The module digitises the handling of freedom-of-information requests, of petitions, reports and complaints, and of requests for duplicates and copies of documents from the archive, with statutory deadlines respected throughout.

 
Resolving a petition in the Smart Digital City platform

Resolving a petition: the statutory deadline tracked automatically, documents and the approval workflow.

What changes in dealings with applicants

Statutory deadlines are tracked by the system, not by a member of staff's memory — and the annual freedom-of-information report is generated from real data rather than reconstructed by hand.

Statutory deadlines tracked automatically5, 10–20 and 30 days, with early warning
The annual report is generated from dataNot reconstructed by hand at the end of the year
Reports carry coordinatesLocated on the map by the applicant or by staff

What you can do

Receiving, allocating, resolving and reporting on freedom-of-information requests and petitions.

Freedom-of-information requests

The response classified by statutory deadline: 5 days, 10–20 days, or outside the scope of the law.

Petitions

Petitions, reports and complaints, with the statutory 30-day deadline tracked automatically.

Geographic location

The subject of a report can be marked on the interactive map, by the applicant or by staff.

Duplicates from the archive

Requests for duplicates or copies of documents, generated and sent by e-mail.

Task allocation

Internal allocation with a deadline and tracking of each task's status.

Deadline warning

An automatic alert as the statutory deadline for a response approaches.

Referral

To another competent authority, with automatic notification to the address held in reference data.

Documents in three categories

For the institution, for the resident and internal, clearly separated.

Native integrations

The module relies on the records registry, on notifications and on the interactive map.

The electronic records registry and the special freedom-of-information register
The notifications component, for acknowledgements, deadline alerts and final responses
The interactive map, for locating reports
The public-facing portal, for online submission and publication of the statistical reports

Part of the same platform

Public information and petitions is not a separate application. It uses the same records registry, the same documents and the same signing, notification and audit mechanisms as every other module.

How to get started

You don't have to digitise the whole institution at once.

START ONE

You start directly with this module: Public information and petitions, the internal portal and the tools it needs to run.

START PRO + PUBLIC INFORMATION AND PETITIONS

If you already have the digital foundation — records registry, documents, workflows — the module is activated on top of it, with no migration.
