The Accreditation application accommodates the registration of participants and provides access privileges and other rights to individuals. The application includes functions such as the issuance and control of identification badges, re-accreditation and access control information with reporting capabilities.

Functions

 
The Accreditation application has three basic steps:

1. System initialization and configuration

 
This step addresses the incorporation of the basic information requirements of the application (i.e.: categories, functions, privileges, general codes and others). This information might be shared with other applications. It also covers the design of the rules for the security and access model to be used for the event.

2. Registration of participants

 
The second step focuses upon the capture and input into a database of participant information from the registration forms, either from paper copies or from electronic sources. The registration process will automatically assign a unique registration number. Should pictures be supplied, they can be entered/scanned and linked to the participant data.

3. Accreditation

The third step includes the assignment of privileges to the participants that will allow the access to the venues, as well as other rights (transportation, uniforms, special areas, etc.). It also includes the production of the accreditation badges for distribution.
