SOFTWARE USERS LEVELS
The software was designed in two directions which are horizontal direction and vertical direction.
a/ Vertical directions: The vertical direction was designed to accommodate 5 levels of users. Each level can access all levels under him but cannot know or see or access any level beyond him. In other term we can say that our software was designed in the same way we build a building each higher floor can see the down floors but cannot see the upper floors.
Each admin of each level can have a report about all users under him with their access name and password, their history of all their activities and the history of all accounts (users) under him. The said admin can block and change the user name and password of any account or user under them or the accounts which are under the accounts which are under them. These facilities will help the entire user to control the accounts under him.
b/ Horizontal directions: The horizontal direction was designed to accommodate different users on the same level starting from the admin level to one time user level. Which means that can be different admin in one user account.
SOFTWARE SERVICES SALES METHODS
The software was designed with different facilities to can accommodate different sales methods. But mainly the sales can be done through subscription charges during registration and the periodical subscription, SMS unit sales, sub account sales, SMS advertisement sales and user’s personal information sales. The following are the facilities which can give us idea about the different sales methods
