    The New wanted dialog box opens.
  3. Enter the license plate number of the vehicle and select a hotlist.
    The dialog box displays additional fields based on the attributes of the hotlist that you select. Attributes are configured in the Attributes section of the Properties page for each hotlist. For more information, see Configuring hotlist and permit attributes.
  4. Enter the required license information in the displayed fields.
