Residents can login to the pre-registration portal by providing their email id or mobile number. The system validates the email id or phone number, once validated sends an OTP which the resident enters. The system validates the OTP redirects the user to enter or edit the details for booking an appointment.
The resident logs in to the pre-registration portal with their mobile number or email id. After successful Authentication, the system checks if the user is first-time user or not. If the user is first-time user, the system creates a new record in the database. All the pre-registration ids created from there on will be mapped to this user id.
If the resident wishes to logout of the pre-registration system, he/she can opt to select the Logout option. The token issued during the Authentication of user Login is deleted and the user gets logged out of the system. If the user is inactive for X minutes (X is configurable), the system notifies the user one minute before the configured timeout limit and logs out after a minute. In such case, the system will not save any user data.
The user is provided with demographic form based on the & for new pre-registration application, user fills demographic details (e.g., Full Name, Age/DOB, Gender, Residential status, Address, mobile number, email id, etc.). The system validates the fields entered, the system also checks for the mandatory fields. Additionally, the system validates for any blacklisted words entered (as configured by the country). Once validated a pre-registration request id (PRID) is generated and the demographic details provided gets mapped to that PRID.
Before filling the application form, the user is advised to provide their consent for storage and utilization of their personally identifiable information (PII). The consent is sought from the user for every new application created in the system. On providing their consent, the system redirects the user to start the pre-registration application (demographic details). The data as part of the consent form is rendered as setup by the administrator.
In case of closure of the Consent Pop-up, the following scenarios may arise:
First-time login: On closure, then system alerts the user that he will be logged out due to not providing consent.
Existing user login
Scenario 1: Create new application from Dashboard: On closure, the user will be redirected to Dashboard page.
Scenario 2: Add Applicant from Preview Page: On closure, the user will be redirected to Preview Page.
Once the demographic details are filled and the Documents are uploaded, if the user wishes to add an applicant, he/she can opt to select 'Add An Applicant' option on the preview page or 'Create New Application' option on the Dashboard. The system associates unique pre-registration id to the new application(s) created.
The user can select their language of preference, which is referred as Primary (from a list of 2 languages as set by the administrator) from the login screen, the other language from the list is considered as secondary. The user can then provide data in the preferred language (primary) as selected. The data in the right side of the demographic page will be transliterated to secondary language. The labels in the right hand side will be translated to the Secondary language. The user can verify the transliterated data and edit if required. The data will subsequently be stored in the database along with the respective language codes.
In the below listed scenarios, system will render an error message on the Login page and inhibit pre-registration, and hence, the language configurations should be appropriately setup by the administrator.
If Primary Language is set to a specific value and Secondary Language is marked as null/not set by administrator, or
If Secondary Language is set to a specific value and Primary Language is marked as null/not set by administrator, or
If both Primary and Secondary Language is marked as null/not set by administrator.
Example: Primary set to English and Secondary not set or vice-versa, then system will render the stated Error Message: "The system has encountered a technical error. Administrator to setup the necessary language configuration(s)." The error message will not have an option to exit, hence not allow the user to proceed further. On page refresh, the system will render the error message again and hence, inhibit pre-registrations.
Considering a scenario, wherein if Primary language and Secondary language is configured to be the same, eg. English; then: *The system will render the demographic page (with both left and right side for Primary and Secondary lnaguage) in the same language
Values entered on the left side (Primary Language) will not be transliterated but auto-copied on the right side
Values on the right side will remain un-editable
As part of the packet, system will send/store data in one language only, if language code is identified to be the same – eg. en (English)
The pre-registrations created will be associated with user id. The user can view all the pre-registrations created by him/her in the Dashboard. The pre-registration can be in three different status (Pending appointment, Booked, Expired)
Pending appointment
Filled only demographic details
Upload documents and book an appointment
Pending appointment
Filled demographic details and uploaded documents
Book an appointment
Booked
Filled demographic details, uploaded documents, and booked appointment
Visit the registration center on the appointment date and time
Expired
Appointed date has passed
N/A
The applications are sorted and displayed by the order of creation of application. The first application created appears first, latest created/modified application appears at the end. If the user visits the registration center and consumes the appointment, then the application will be removed from the list. If the appointment date has passed, the status changes to "Expired" and is retained on the dashboard for further rebooking/modification as required.
The user can modify the pre-registration data by opting to select the "Modify" option for a specific application. The system provides the demographic form with pre-filled demo details and allows the user to edit the details as required. The system associates the modified demo details with the pre-registration id for which Modify information is initiated.
The user can discard the pre-registration by clicking on the Delete icon for the pre-registration id for which he/she wishes to discard. The system provides the user with two options: 'Discard entire Application' or 'Cancel appointment'. The user chooses to discard entire application. The system deletes all the data mapped to the pre-registration id and cancels the appointment (if any).
When user provides their demographic data, the pre-registration system captures the data.
Based on the parameters (from the configuration) for example - gender, age and residential status (Foreigner, National) from the demographic data, applicant types are determined. The pre-registration system then sends the id to the mapping.
Based on the Applicant type, the Applicable Document categories are received from the mapping. The pre-registration system then displays only applicable categories.
The Document Category and type of documents in each category to be uploaded varies based on the applicant type. pre-registration system displays only those types to the applicant.
Once the documents are uploaded by applicant the system performs virus scan to check the integrity of the document. Once the virus scan is successful, the document is encrypted and stored in the object store.
The POA (Proof of Address) document could be uploaded or can be referred to an already uploaded POA of an existing applicant
The user could select a particular applicant document to which he wants to refer
When Pre-registering for a family living at the same address it is not required to upload same POA again and again,instead could refer to the document as uploaded by the first family member saving space and time.

There are three batch jobs that run in Pre-registration based on a cron scheduler.
This batch job identifies the Pre-Registrations for which registration packets are created and are under processing in server. The details about these Pre-registration are removed from pre-Registration database and are moved to an Archival tables in pre-registration called as consumed tables. Later the data in consumed tables can be archived or removed based on the adopter's need.
This batch job identifies the pre-registrations which have expiered and updates the status of these pre-registrations as "Expiered".
Booking batch job, runs every day to perform some standard tasks:
Creating the booking slots (if not available) for next 140 days (configurable) using the details available for the centers like, center working hours, lunch breaks, no. of Kiosks, slot booking times & holidays.
Canceling bookings & sending notifications to the residents, if any emergency holiday has been declared for a center.
When any transaction is performed, then the same is captured as part of MOSIP Audit Trails, which can be further used for reporting and analytics as required.
