- Search, reports & related records
- Reviewed with the people who use them
- Hosted by the customer or an approved partner
Who it's for
Start where you are.
Software vendors replacing a customer’s system, agencies retiring one, and records teams in other industries.

Retire the old system
Staff keep finding, reading and exporting old reports after the application they came from is gone.
See it for agencies - Beyond public safety
Courts, health, education, HR
Teams that keep records in other fields get the same search, reports and export, configured to their record structure.

A familiar request, years later
Find the old report. Follow the story.
Search for Harrington and 2009, open the offense report, follow its related records, then choose the reports for a sample PDF.
Inside the platform
An archive your staff can search and use.
Staff find a record, see what’s linked to it and use it. Your team controls review and access.
- Search & relationships
Find a name, number or date, then follow the people, vehicles, items and reports linked to it.
- Reports & PDF
Fields, tables and narratives read as a report. Export it as a PDF with any other reports and attachments you choose.
- Files & attachments
Photos, scans and documents from file shares or database BLOBs open beside their report, and a case export can append them to the PDF.
- Validation & releases
The people who know the records review each report type before it goes live, and approve later changes.
- Lineage & audit
Trace a value to its source and review who opened, corrected or exported a record.
- SQL workspace
Query the retained data directly when a question goes beyond what a report shows.
- API & integrations
Staff search archived records and open them from inside your new application.
- Hosting, security & access
Run LiftShift Records in your customer’s hosting or yours, with record and field access and sign-in under your control.
Each capability has its own page with the product shown.

Move what the new system needs.
Keep the rest in LiftShift Records.
Data the new system works with moves there. Data kept for reference goes to LiftShift Records, so there’s less to convert.
- 01
Read history as it was written
Old records keep the report layouts staff knew, without having to fit the new system’s data model.
- 02
Find out why the old system is still running
If staff still use it to look up reports, the plan covers those reports, files and dependencies so the system can be retired.
- 03
Keep history usable
Staff get search, readable reports and related files. A database export would leave them to rebuild the context.
