Interface |
Purpose |
1 |
Login |
Login interface is used to access the member only
section of the service. It is a fundamental step to
access other resources within member only section. The
requirement is provision of valid user name and password
only.
Once this is provided, and it is authentic, the service
resources the user is entitled to will be displayed
for the user.
Username and password are provided when an establishment
or a user is set-up under contact person information.
|
2 |
Request password |
Request password is used to retrieve a password from
our database. Use this interface if you can not remember
your username or password. We encourage you to change
your password periodically.
The requirement is a valid email address that exists
in our database. That is where the username and password
shall be sent to.

Change password |
Change password interface is used to change user
password. It is periodic task that is recommended for
every user. It is important that users choose passwords
that are easy to memorize but at the same time difficult
for others to guess. As a rule, never use your name,
that of your spouse or family as password. Do not also
use birthdates as well.
In this service, usernames and passwords are not case
sensitive and you can also use alphanumeric characters
as well.

Set-up User |
Set-up User is a tool that is available to privileged
service users – services administrators and establishment
primary contact users.
Establishment primary contact users should use this
tool wisely and should not set-up a user unless you
have use for it. The tool is aimed at providing alternate
user to the primary user in situation where the primary
user is indisposed or unavailable. Note that the alternate
user (secondary contact person) has the same privilege
(update establishment profile) as the primary user except
that the alternate user cannot set-up additional alternate
user. Primary users should know alternate user well
and should take responsibility for their actions.

user information. Essentially, most users would update

administrators that can update other user information
that they are privileged to.

profiles. Each user can update the establishment he or
