When logging in with issuer permissions, this is the first screen that will be visible. From here the user can manage their recipients, configure groups, manage group members, manage the permissions of the recipients in events manage alignments, manage organizations, manage events, manage issuer profiles, create badge images, manage badges, issue badges and manage claimed badges.

From this page the issuer will be able to manage the recipients that will be receiving the badges.

Clicking the "Create Recipient" button will expand a form at the top of the page with the relevant fields for adding new recipients individually.

Full name and email address are mandatory fields. The unique ID field is not mandatory. This field is in case the issuer has an ID/reference number for the recipient that they wish to log against them.

Clicking "Save" will add the new recipient, whilst clicking "Cancel" will collapse the form.

Note: The issuer will be informed if any badge recipients in the import file were unable to be added and why.

Clicking "Update" will update the record with the new information, whilst clicking "Cancel" will collapse the form.

Note: once a badge has been issued to a recipient the details of that recipient cannot be edited as they have been used in the issuing process. A new badge recipient entry would need to be added if details about a recipient change over time.

Clicking the button will display a pop up. This will be for the issuer to confirm they are wanting to delete the selected badge recipient.

Clicking "OK" will remove them, whilst clicking "Cancel" will close the pop up with no further action taken.

Although a badge recipient may exist in the table, they may not yet have a user account active against them.

If they do not have an active user account in the User Account column there will be a red circle with a "Create Account" button.

The issuer will need to click "Create Account" against the recipient. A pop up will appear asking the issuer to confirm that they want to create an account.

Clicking "OK" will send an email to the recipient, asking them to log in and set a new password. Clicking "Cancel" will close the pop up with no further action taken.

If the issuer has completed the above already, but the recipient has yet to set up their user account then in the User Account column it will show a yellow circle with a button to "Resend Email" if the recipient for some reason can't find the original account setup email and wants to complete registration.

If the user has set up their user account, then in the User Account column it will show a green circle with the status of "Registered".

If badges are being auto issued through badging stations at events, for example, recipients can be issued badges without having registered accounts on the system. In this situation, when recipients receive badging emails they will have a link to request an account on the system. If this happens, the issuer will be emailed to say a request has come through, and the "Account Request" column of the table will indicate which users have requested accounts. The issuer can then click the "Create Account" button as usual.

From this page the issuer will be able to manage the groups that recipients can be assigned to.

The issuer will be able to add new groups and edit or delete existing ones.

Once a group has been selected the left hand table will update to show recipients who have not yet been added to the selected group. The other table will show all recipients that have been added to that group previously.

The status against the recipients is based on whether they have a user account. This is a traffic light system which will reflect the status of the account in the Manage badge recipients page.

Note: Recipients without confirmed email addressess cannot be issued a badge. So recipients who have not completed account registration will not appear in the list of recipients who can be issued a badge on the 'Manage Badge Issuing' page, even if you have added them to a group and select that group when issuing.

Select recipients from the left hand table, by clicking on the rows. Holding CTRL and clicking will allow for multiple recipients to be selected. Alternatively the "Select all" or "Deselect all" buttons at the top of the tables can be used. The selected rows will show with a blue background.

Once the recipients have been selected click the "Add >" button to move them into the group, that is selected in the dropdown.

The recipients will now show up in the right hand table, and will no longer be selectable in the left hand table for that group.

This screen is to manage the visibility of a recipient on the leaderboard screen. Due to GDPR regulations this allows the delegates to allow or disallow their name being displayed on the leaderboard, which may be visible at an event when collecting badges.

These permissions are configured per event. Therefore, if a recipient had been to a previous event and are attending a new one, they will need to confirm if they are happy to display their name at the new event even if they had agreed for the previous event.

From this screen the issuer can add, edit or delete Manage event permissions.

Clicking the "Create Recipient Event Permission" button will expand a form at the top of the page with the relevant fields for adding recipient permissions per event individually.

The start and end dates are additional fields that allow some time-based controls on when a qualifying badge can be used to claim an IoC badge. These dates are compared against the issue date given in the uploaded qualifying badge.

The blockchain verification of that badge will have been revoked. In addition, the same recipient cannot be reissued the same badge again. A new version of the badge would need to be entered onto the system to be issued to them. So, revoking a badge should not be done lightly.
