5 Functional Requirements

The Functional Requirements section lists the technical capabilities that this building block must/could have. These requirements should be sufficient to deliver all functionalities that are listed in the Key Digital Functionalities section. These Functional Requirements do not define specific APIs - they provide specifications and information about any functionalities that must be implemented within the Building Block.
The functionalities described in this chapter apply to any government registration use case. Therefore, they also apply to the following use cases:

5.1 No-Code Development Platform

The no-code development platform is composed of:
  • Rules engine
  • User interface and flow builder
  • Controls configurator
It is used by authorized personnel, called “analysts”, entrusted by the entities in charge of the registrations to develop the corresponding online services.
Pre-requirements:
  • The analyst is authenticated and authorized to use the no-code development platform.
  • The analyst has a computer/smartphone with an internet connection.
Post-requirements:
  • When the no-code development is finished, the analyst publishes the e-service, which becomes available to users (applicants and operators);
  • Applicants can submit applications;
  • Operators can process the applications.

5.1.1 Rules Engine Functional Requirements

The Rules Engine is a module where an analyst defines:
  1. 1.
    Who are the subjects of the registration
  2. 2.
    For each subject, the result of the registration, e.g. a credential
  3. 3.
    For each subject, what are the requirements of the registration:
  4. 4.
    1. 1.
      Claims required
    2. 2.
      Credentials required
    3. 3.
      Payments/fees required
The rules can be:
  • Entered in the rule engine by an analyst, on the basis of the regulations
  • Provided by external rules providers (e.g. rules DBs at ministries level)\
REQ-#
Requirement
Type & UC
RE-1
Creation of Services
An analyst (user) must be able to create, in the rule engine, one or more services, each service encompassing one or more registrations.
A “Service” is a name given to a registration, or to a combination of registrations which can be undertaken simultaneously.
To create a service, an analyst will:
  • Give a name to the service
  • Link one or more registrations to the service
Must have
RE-2
Publish service to external instance
Each service can be published in the same or in a separate instance, together with the rule engine. Instance must be configured and interoperable with Registration BB service definitions.
May have
RE-3
Creation of one or more “Registrations
An analyst can create one or more registrations. For each registration, the analyst defines in clear language, in the rules engine:
  • The name of the registration
  • The entity in charge of the registration
Must have
RE-4
Definition of the subjects of a registration
For each registration, an analyst must be able to report/input in the rule engine, in clear language, rules defining who/what are the subjects of the registration.
To this end, the analyst can select one or various of the following options:
  1. 1.
    The registration is mandatory to all
  2. 2.
    The registration is mandatory to specific subjects
  3. 3.
    The registration is optional to all
  4. 4.
    The registration is optional to specific subjects
1 and 2 can’t be selected simultaneously; 3 and 4 can’t be selected simultaneously.
Specific subjects (in 2 and 4) can be defined through determinants or a combination of determinants. Determinants can be combined by “AND” and “OR” operators. Combinations can be grouped into “groups of determinants”. Group of determinants can be combined through “AND” and “OR” operators.
Examples:
  1. 1.
    Registration is mandatory for attribute “resident” (all residents must register)
  2. 2.
    Registration is mandatory for attribute “resident” AND attribute “foreigner” (all residents who are foreigners must register)
  3. 3.
    Registration is mandatory for {attribute “resident”} AND {attribute “foreigner” OR attribute “have children”} (all foreign resident must register; national residents who have children must register)
Must have
RE-5
Definition of the results of a registration
An analyst must be able to report/input in the rule engine, in clear language, rules defining what are the results of a registration.
The result of a registration has a name (example: registration number, registration certificate, permit, license, etc.). To this name, the analyst must be able to associate a template/document (see RE-11).
In some cases, some subjects of the registration will receive a different result. The analyst can define through determinants (or combination of determinants) the different categories of subjects and can link each category of subjects to a specific result.
Examples:
  1. 1.
    Future truck drivers that apply to a driving license and pass the exam will receive a driving license for “large vehicles”, while car drivers will receive a driving license for “light vehicles” (attributes: “truck driver” or “car driver”)
  2. 2.
    Enterprises with assets below US$5,000 will receive a “Cottage Industry Certificate”; enterprises with assets above US$5,000 will receive a “Business License”, when applying for an activity license (attributes: “assets below US$5,000” and “assets above US$5,000”)
Must have
RE-6
Requirements of a registration - Documents/Credentials
An analyst must be able to report/input in the rule engine, in clear language, rules defining what are the documents (= credentials) that must be provided.
  • A document/credential can be defined by a name
  • One registration can have several required documents/credentials
  • A document/credential can be physical or digital
  • For each required document, the analyst can select one of the following options: has to be brought to the front desk;
    • has to be uploaded
    • has to be signed in front of an Operator.
The required documents can differ according to the categories of subjects. The analyst can define, through determinants (or combination of determinants) the different categories of subjects and link them to specific required documents.
Examples:
  1. 1.
    Married applicants must provide a copy of their wedding certificate (attribute: “married”)
  2. 2.
    Foreigners must provide a copy of their residence permit (attribute: “foreigner”)
  3. 3.
    Applicants that can’t provide a copy of their birth certificate must provide a certified copy of their ID (attribute: “can’t provide a copy of the birth certificate”)
Must have
RE-7
Requirements of a registration - Fees
An analyst must be able to report/input in the rule engine, in clear language, rules defining what are the fees of a registration.
The fees of a registration has a name (example: State fee of MCTS programm, license registration fee etc.). To this name, the analyst must be able to associate an amount and a currency.
  • Fee can be calculated or fixed;
  • One registration may have 0..n fees;
  • All fees must have an assigned currency. The system may allow multiple currencies;
  • A fee can have a description.
When the fee is calculated, a formula builder will allow the analyst to build the formula, using values from any field in the service and numeric values, combined with the usual operators (+, -, *, /).
In some cases, some subjects of the registration will receive a different fee. The analyst can define through determinants (or combination of determinants) the different categories of subjects and can link each category of subjects to a specific fee.
Examples:
  1. 1.
    Mothers with one child that apply to a registration to MCTS program will receive a identity card for 10 EUR, while mothers with two children or more will receive the identity card for 15 EUR (attributes: “one child” or “more than one child”)
  2. 2.
    Farmers with farming land area > 10 000 sqm that apply to registration of farm land will receive registration certificate for 10 EUR, while farmers with land area <= 10 000 sqm will receive registration result/credential certificate for 5 EUR.
Must have
RE-8
Requirements of a registration - Data/Claims
An analyst must be able to report/input in the rule engine, in clear language, rules defining what is the data (= claims) that must be provided.
A piece of data is defined by:
  • A name (e.g. date of birth, nationality, first name, last name, etc.)
  • A type (text, number, date)
  • mandatory/ optional (See Control configurator element for more options)
As for the other requirements, some data can be required only for a specific category of subjects. The analyst can define, through determinants (or combination of determinants) the different categories of subjects and link them to specific required documents.
Examples:
  1. 1.
    Married applicants must provide the first name, last name and date of birth for their spouse (attribute: “married”)
  2. 2.
    Owners of farm land should provide the number and date of registration of their property; applicants who rent farm land must provide the name and ID number of the owner (attribute: “own land”, “rent land”)
Must have
RE-9
Possibility to combine various registrations in one service
In many cases the process for the user/applicant contains multiple pre-and post registration steps in order to achieve the final goal (e.g. apply for a healthcare program).
For example, in order to register a mother and a newborn child to the Mother and Child support program, both of the subjects must be previously registered in the Civil/Population registry. Civil registry registration service could be a separate service, but it is much user friendlier and less time consuming for the applicant to merge the two registrations into one service that can be filled at the same time. This service type is called Single Window- or integrated registrations service.
To facilitate the combination of various registrations in one service:
  • Registration requirements (documents/credentials, results, fees) must be reusable inside the service. One registration may re-use another registration result credentials as input requirements.
  • Overlapping requirements and/or results must be automatically eliminated.
  • Fees of all registrations must be merged into one sum, so that the applicant could see and pay total fees. Fee information is stored and segregated per registration.
In one registration the document/credential may be issued as a result and in another registration the same document/credential may be required as an uploadable requirement. The system must eliminate the overlapping results and/or requirements if the requirements overlap inside the service.
Examples:
One service has two registrations and both of them require a passport to be uploaded. When an applicant chooses to apply for both registrations then the system must ask for the passport upload only once.
One service has two registrations. First registration’s result (credential) is the second registration’s requirement. The system must not ask this requirement from the applicant as the result will be generated during the process. However, if the user chooses to register for only the second registration then the requirement must be asked.
Must have
RE-10
Creation and functioning of determinants
The analyst can define through determinants (or combination of determinants) the different categories of subjects and can link each category of subjects to a specific element of a service. An element of a service can be a field, block, button, message, processing role, result, requirement etc.
Simplest case being, is this claim data field on the screen relevant for all subjects or only for a specific category of subjects? If all then no determinant is needed as all users will see and use it. If a specific (e.g. “applicant is married”) category and this category must fill in additional information (e.g. “Spouse name”), then a determinant must be added to control the field visibility for this category of subjects. If the user is married, then the determinant is true and the “Spouse name” field is visible; if the determinant evaluates to false, then the spouse name field is not visible for the subject.
Analyst must be able to:
  • create and manage determinants (CRUD);
  • search the existing determinant;
  • reuse determinant inside the same service;
  • use formulas - calculate math functions on the form with user input value and use the calculated value in the determinant.
E.g. math functions (SUM, MIN, MAX, AVG, COUNT, MEDIAN, CEILING, FLOOR, ROUND, CONCAT, CONCAT_WS, LEN, REPLACE, UPPER_CASE, LOWER_CASE).
Apply determinants to:
  • Any element of a service (registration, claims/data fields, screens, roles, templates etc.)
  • Any element of a registration (results/credentials, requirements/documents)
Determinants can be combined by “AND” and “OR” operators. Combinations can be grouped into “groups of determinants”. Group of determinants can be combined through “AND” and “OR” operators.
Must have
RE-11
Definition of a template associated to the result of a registration
An analyst must be able to create an electronic template (a screen with images, text, fields, QR code) and to link it to the result of a registration.
A template can be:
  • Filled with values coming from fields in the service or from external databases;
  • Printed as a pdf file.
  • Generated and uploaded to the system as a PDF file.
On each template, an analyst can create data fields that must be filled by the system and place them on the screen of the template. Fields will have the following characteristics:
  • A name (e.g. date of birth, nationality, first name, last name, select option, submit application, etc.)
  • A type (text, number, date, selector, catalogue, button etc.)
  • Source of information/capture data from. Function to capture data from application screens upon creation of PDF.
In addition to fields, the analyst can create information texts and add images, QR codes on the template screen.
QR code must be generated with the ISO/IEC 18004:2015 standard.
Determinants and groups of determinants created in the rule engine can be assigned to each field on a template. A field will be displayed/printed only if the determinants assigned to it are true.
Fields can be grouped into containers (blocks, tables etc). A container is defined by a name.
Fields can be moved to and on the screen by “drag-and-drop, inside/outside of and between containers.
Must have

6.1.2 User Interface and Flow Builder Functional Requirements

The purpose of the Screen and flow builder is to define and display the screens, and the fields on each screen, in the application file and processing parts, and to pre-fill or capture the data entered by the users of these screens in:
  • The application file, where applicants provide claims (= fill a form), credentials (=upload files) and fees (= pay online or upload a payment receipt) and send his/her request to one or more entities in charge of the registration
  • The processing part, where one or more human or automated (“robot” or “BOT”) operators can review the information (i.e. the data and documents) provided by the applicant, approve or reject an application, send claims to a registry and issue a credential
REQ-#
Requirement
Type & UC
SF-1
Application file - Creation of screens and of their sequence
An analyst must be able to create one or more screens that will allow to show information to the applicant and to display fields that the applicant will have to fill to provide the requirements of the registration.
The analyst can define the sequence/order in which the screens will be displayed to the applicant.
To this end, the analyst will be able to activate or inactivate, through a toggle, the following screens:
  • Guide screen: this is a screen where the analyst can create text for the information of the applicants (guidelines) or ask questions (through fields) to determine what category of subjects the applicant belongs to (i.e. if the applicant is subject to the registration and what data, documents and fees are required).
  • Applicant form screen: this is where the applicant will provide the required data.
  • Documents upload screen: where the applicant will upload scanned copies of the required documents/credentials.
  • Payment screen: where the applicant will see a list of fees that must be paid and can be redirected to an external online payment service.
  • Send screen: where the applicant can be reminded of any information missing in his/her application (if some fields have not been filled or documents not uploaded) and will be requested to confirm his/her will to apply for registration.
The above screens, when activated, will be displayed, in the predefined order (guide, applicant form, document upload, payment, send).
The flow of screens can be visualized by the analyst.
Must have
SF-2
Application file - Creation of fields on each screen
On each screen, an analyst can create data fields/claims that must be filled by the applicant and place them on the screen. Fields will have the following characteristics:
  • A name (e.g. date of birth, nationality, first name, last name, select option, submit application, etc.)
  • A type (text, number, date, selector, catalogue, button, etc.)
  • The name of the registration(s) the field is associated with (i.e. the corresponding data is a requirement for this registration)
  • Mandatory or optional
Determinants and groups of determinants created in the rule engine can be assigned to each field. A field will be displayed only if the determinants assigned to it are true.
Every time a field is created it is recorded in the “data” part of the rules engine.
Fields can be grouped into containers (blocks). A container is defined by a name.
Fields can be moved to and on the screen by “drag-and-drop, inside/outside of and between containers.
In addition to fields, the analyst can create information texts, images that, contrary to fields, do not expect any input from the applicant.
Must have
SF-3
Processing part - Creation of screens/roles
The processing part relies on the flow builder because roles are part of the process flow.
An analyst can create one or more screens allowing human operators to process the application files, i.e. to review the information sent by the applicant, to add data or documents to the application file (e.g. a number, a date, a credential, etc.), to approve an application, to reject it or to send it back to the applicant when more information is required.
We call “processing role” (or simply “role”) each successive processing an application file will go through until final approval is given and the registration is completed.
Usually, different roles are ensured by different government entities. It happens that successive roles are ensured by different units in the same entity.
Example flow:
  1. 1.
    Unit 1 reviews the application file, checks that all data and documents provided seem true and correct
  2. 2.
    Unit 2 approves the application
  3. 3.
    Unit 3 issues and signs the credential and sends it to the applicant
For each role, two screens are necessary:
  • A first screen (list screen) where the operator will be able to:
    • see a list of application files, filtered by status (pending, validated, rejected, sent back to the applicant)
    • select a file for processing (if pending) or for consultation
  • A second screen (processing screen) where the operator will be able to:
    • review the selected application file (data and documents provided by the applicant, fees paid or not)
    • add data or documents to the file
    • Make decision- approve the file, reject it or send it back to the applicant
Therefore, an analyst must be able to create one or more roles, each role coming automatically with one list UI and one processing screen UI. Each role will be defined with the following elements:
  • Name of the role
  • Name of the registration the role is associated with
  • Entity in charge of the role
  • Position in the process flow.
Determinants and groups of determinants created in the rule engine can be assigned to each role. A role will be displayed/activated only if the determinants assigned to it are true. If Role determinants evaluates to false, then the application file passes the processing role without stopping.
Must have
SF-4
Processing part - Ordering of screens/roles in Flow Builder
An analyst will be able to define, for each role, a list of possible statuses, by selecting which of the following statuses are possible for the role:
  • Pending (the file is waiting to be processed by the role)
  • Approved (the file successfully passed the role)
  • Rejected (the application is denied, the file is closed)
  • Send back to the applicant for correction (the operator sends the file back to the applicant and requests that some information be corrected or added)
For each activated status, the analyst will be able to indicate where the application file will be sent in the processing flow:
  • To another processing role
  • To the applicant role (for consultation or payment)
  • To end- the application file is closed/ end of processing
Therefore, the roles/screens in the processing part will come in an order specified by the analyst and this functionality is called Flow Builder.
The analyst must be able to visualize the flow of roles/screens.
Must have
SF-5
Processing part - creation of fields on processing screens
On each screen, an analyst can create fields that must be filled by the role operator and place them on the screen. Fields will have the following characteristics:
  • A name (e.g. registration number, date of registration, type of registration, validate application, etc.)
  • A type (text, number, date, selector, catalogue, button, etc.)
  • The name of the registration(s) the field is associated with (i.e. the corresponding data is a requirement for this registration)
  • Mandatory or optional
Every time a field is created it is recorded in the “data” part of the rules engine.
Fields can be grouped into blocks, columns, field sets and other containers (tables). A container is defined by a name.
Fields can be moved on the screen by “drag-and-drop, inside/outside of and between blocks.
In addition to fields, the analyst can create information texts and images that, contrary to fields, do not expect any input from the applicant.
Only human roles have the option to build processing screens.
Determinants and groups of determinants created in the rule engine can be assigned to each field. A field will be displayed only if the determinants assigned to it are true.
Must have
SF-6
An analyst must be able to add QR-code/barcode scanning function to the service screen
An Analyst can add a form field element (e.g. button) to a screen and configure an action to trigger the capture of data from a QR-code.
Expected result- Analyst will build a service that has a button on the screen and a field on the screen to store the captured data. An applicant/user can trigger the “Read QR code” button on the screen of a service that opens the mobile phone’s (or other device) camera, reads the QR-code and captures the data from QR code to a field on the screen. Example data extracted from the QR-code is “MCTS123”.
QR code must be generated with the ISO/IEC 18004:2015 standard.
Must have
UC2
SF-7
Actions - the analyst must be able to configure triggering of actions when a user or system initiates an event on a screen of a service.
A triggering event can be a button click, a form element click, data being entered into a field, or a row being added to a table.
The action attribute specifies one or more of the following data mapping (BOT):
  • where to send the form-data when an event is triggered (Data BOT action) and where to store the received data (response). For example, the user will enter first name and last name and after entering the last information the system will initiate a data BOT action to search data from the external data source and store the answer(response) phone number to the correct data field;
  • where to pull data (from an external registry API) and where to show the answer in the user interface fields;
  • where to send user (screen flow action). For example, the button click will take a user to the next screen. The next screen can be internal screen or external URL;
  • validate captured data integrity (required fields must be filled);
  • save entered information;
  • send message (screen message, sms, e-mail, API message etc.)
Some actions can be activated only for a specific category of subjects. The analyst can define, through determinants (or combination of determinants) the different categories of subjects and link them to specific actions.
Examples:
  1. 1.
    User enters a person's identifier (tax number) and the button pulls first name, last name and date of birth from external API on the screen.
  1. 1.
    Married applicants must provide the first name, last name and date of birth for their spouse (attribute: “married”) and when data is entered, then the application screen will validate the entered persons name from the Population Registry and return validation answers on the screen (Success, Fail). Actions are only triggered if the user has entered the data AND “person is married”- determinant.
  2. 2.
    User clicks the “Validate and send” button on the screen, then the system will activate three actions: Save user data action, validate user data action, send user data action.
  3. 3.
    User clicks the “Print” button and the system triggers “Print to PDF” data action where a template is used as base for creating a new PDF document. System will enable the user to see, print or download the generated PDF.
  4. 4.
    User submits application and system will trigger BOT Role in the flow and it in turn activates data action bot -e.g. POST/GET message to external API.
Must have
UC1
SF-8
Formulas - Analysts must be able to add formula calculations to and between the fields. The Formulas can be added to numeric fields, int, decimal, date. Calculated values allow calculating values based on the values in other fields of the form. E.g. If the registration subject has more than 2 children, then multiply the social payment times the number of kids.
Must have
UC2
SF-9
Preview- Analyst must be able to preview service User Interfaces before publishing the service to the applicants.
Following preview functions must be available.:
  1. 1.
    Preview of user interfaces one by one;

Service descriptions must contain at least:
  1. 1.
    User interfaces, screens, fields;
  2. 2.
    Process flow;
  3. 3.
    Service settings.
As a result, the service can be imported with minimal effort from another instance and published for users/applicants to use. Instance specific configurations must be done in each instance and are not target to import export.
Must have

6.1.3 Control Configurator’s Functional Requirements

5.2 Online Registration Services Functional Requirements

The purpose of the online registration services (from here on e-services) module of Registration BB is:
  • to enable Applicants to apply for and receive registration claims(certificated documents);
  • to enable the Back Office staff, i.e. Operators to process applications, register information and issue registration certificates.
Example UC: Maternal and Newborn Health USE CASE Sona registers Sowmya in MCTS program. With Sowmya’s consent, Sona registers Sowmya’s child’s name, address and birth certificate, and Sowmya’s name and ID as the caretaker of the child into the MCTS system, which automatically validates the birth certificate and Sowmya’s ID with the government’s citizen records system. Sowmya then creates an account in MCTS for her electronic health records (EHRs) and a barcoded unique ID card for getting further assistance. MCTS connects Sowmya’s mobile phone number to her ID and enables permission for Sona to electronically coordinate various MCTS services for Sowmya.
