Dockets.
1. The clerk of the district court shall furnish a magistrate, district associate judge, or district judge acting as a magistrate, with a docket in which the officer shall enter all proceedings except small claims. The docket shall be indexed and shall contain for each case the title and nature of the action, the place of hearing, appearances, and notations of the documents filed with the judicial officer, the proceedings in the case and orders made, the verdict and judgment including costs, any satisfaction of the judgment, whether the judgment was certified to the clerk of the district court, whether an appeal was taken, and the amount of any appeal bond.
2. The chief judge of a judicial district may order that criminal proceedings which are within the jurisdictions of magistrates and district associate judges be combined into centralized dockets for the county if the chief judge determines that administration could be improved by this procedure. When so ordered, a centralized docket shall be maintained in lieu of individual dockets, and the clerk of the district court shall compile a centralized docket in the manner prescribed for an individual docket. The chief judge may assign actions and proceedings on centralized dockets to judicial officers having jurisdiction as the chief judge deems necessary.
