A7
- no processing would be done on the SMART Connect Server. The record would be submitted to the queue on the server, then a desktop instance would have to process it [same as all the other patrol etc. files].
- the record format would be an xml/zip format (similar to patrols etc.)

Tasks:
- create an xml/zip format for intelligence records
- add support in the connect data processing queue


Future Tasks:
- tools for creating link to entities from text names (so that we don't have to have a list of potentially secret names/ids in a drop down field. ie: enter the informant ID: ___ We don't want a list of all informants names/aliases shown to data entry users.)
We have the opportunity to add APIs to connect to support the searching of entity types and entity ids; however this ticket is not going to include this work. It will be implemented when required by a user who has specific requirements.
