Aircraft X sent dispatch this ACARS 'BE ADVISED. WE HAD A TC AS RA COMING OUT OF LGA. WE WERE LEVEL AT 15;000 ft. AND CONVERGING TRAFFIC KEPT DESCENDING. MISSED BY ABOUT 300 FEET. NY DEPT FREQ 120.85/1857Z ATC NOTIFIED' Per DPM; Dispatch is required to notify the bridge and fill out a Dispatch Event Report (DER). Bridge was notified. I attempted to fill out a report; however there was no option available for Near Miss or TCAS RA and I was unable to fill out the report. Update the CERs report to either list near miss as an option; or add an 'Other' option with free text to allow Dispatch to fill it in as situation requires.
Airline Dispatcher reported the company event form for reporting a NMAC is missing necessary information.
