Document and Event Record Management System: A Prototype

Abstract

Good record-keeping makes better reports and contributes to exceptional planning for the future. During the Covid-19 pandemic, most offices were operating from home. Having such a system would help to keep track of important documents and events. A small office may find such a system a lifesaver where it can provide a CRUD (create-read-update-delete) function, generate reports, serve as activity logs, and provide feedback. The prototype was developed as a web-based system, combining document and event management records. PHP and MySQL databases were the backbones of the system. A case study consisting of the ABC Department was used to illustrate the usage of the prototype. The prototype could be customized to client requirements.
