E-Visitor Program for Efficient Data Management

Report
Project overview
With the increase in population, it is becoming hard to save visitors data to a paper.
Technology has advanced, and programs to save visitors data at the receptions are
being developed. This is an E-visitor program. The program is meant to be operated
by a receptionist to fill in visitors data and reason for visiting the
company/organization.
The program has an admin interface in which the receptionist or the admin will use
to fill in the visitors' data. To access the interface, you have to first login to the
system to verify yourself. The user without credentials cannot access the admin
interface.
The interface has two sections member section and the home section. The home
section contains the form to fill in data while the member's section Is the page
where all members data are displayed. The receptionist can search for a member
using a search function which is an easy and quick method of searching individual
visitors. The user can filter data using a name, phone number, or the id of the
visitors. The date can also be used to filter visitors.
Target market
Use of paper is becoming a traditional style of saving data. Some of the
organization are still using Microsoft tools to store their data. Use of Microsoft tools
doesn't offer a backup of the data. To create a backup, you need to duplicate the
file. This need to be done every day because adding new data to the original file will
not automatically backup the data.
The primary targeted market is small organizations that are still using papers and
Microsoft tools to store their data. The app will also target schools that do not have
a proper system to record their visitors. Event organizers can use the app in
recording the attendance list in during events.
Summary of work done
Significant features of the app have been developed. The app is capable of
registering new receptionist. After registration, the receptionist can log in to the
system.
The receptionist can register new visitors and can retrieve all registered users from
the database.
Data structures and functions used
Restful API was used in creating the app. Restful API allows a user to create, read,
update, and delete data to the database. Combination of MongoDB and NODEJS was
to achieve the functions. nodejs was to implement the server functionalities while
mongo DB was used to save data to the database.
