4.0 USING THE SYSTEM  4.0 APR Filling This section describes how to complete online APR Filling.

4.1 Functional Description This section provides a description system functions. 

4.1.1 General Screen The screen of APR filling has three portions. On the top is header portion with company logo, ‘Asset Declaration’ text, signout button and welcome message displaying name of the user. On the left there is left portion with a drop-down for year selection and several buttons displaying names of each form that is required to be filled in the process. Below header the main screen will be displayed. The basic navigation pattern of the application is to fill each form sequentially after selecting a particular year. After saving a form, the focus will move to next form automatically for filling. Once a form is filled, user can navigate to that particular form any time to make changes using left portion buttons corresponding to that form. However, if user has generated acknowledgement for selected year, the forms will be read-only and no changes will be allowed. In that case user will be allowed to navigate to all forms.

4.1.2 Year selection User is required to select year from year selection drop-down in left portion. Without selecting a particular year, user will not be allowed to proceed and all the buttons in left portion will be disabled.

A message ‘Select year first’ will be displayed in main screen if user has not selected year.

Figure 5: APR Filling screen On selecting a year ‘Form 5A’ will be loaded in the screen.

4.1.3 Left Portion Left portion of the screen will have buttons corresponding to form names that are required to be filled. The buttons in left portion will be disabled if year is not selected. After selecting year, the left portion buttons corresponding to forms that were filled and saved for that year will be enabled.

Figure 6: Left portion The left portion buttons corresponding to forms for which entries were not made will be disabled in the left portion button. The form that is currently being filled will be highlighted on left portion buttons. User can navigate to a particular form by clicking on left portion buttons corresponding to that form provided that the button is not disabled. The form name button on left portion will be enabled and clickable only if user has filled that form earlier.

4.1.4 Main Screen User is required to fill the following forms – ‘Form 5A’, ‘Form 5A liabilities’, ‘Form 5B’, ‘Form 5C’, ‘Form 5C Annexure’. After filling all forms user is required to acknowledge the completion of APR Filling. Each form screen will display form name, a description of the form and details of the user filling up the form.

Figure 7: Main screen displayed for ‘Form 5A’. On selecting year, first form i.e. ‘Form 5A’ will be displayed by the application for that year. User will have to save the forms sequentially to move to next forms. Once a form is filled, corresponding button will become enabled in left portion. In each of the above forms, after making entries user will have to click ‘Save’. Without clicking ‘Save’ button, changes made will not be collected by the application and will be lost.

If user wishes to make more entries in forms ‘Form 5A’, ‘Form 5B’, ‘Form 5C’, he should click on ‘Add Row’ button to create space for making more entries. User can add any number of rows required. If user wishes to delete particular row from a from, he should check the checkbox displayed at the end of the row next to that particular row and click on ‘Delete Row’ in the mentioned forms.

Figure 8: After clicking ‘Add row’ three times.

For other forms user is required to fill in information in the fields given. There is no option to add row and delete rows in ‘Form 5A Liabilities’ and ‘Form 5C Annexure’. If user has no records to fill in any particular form, he is required to check ‘NIL’ checkbox before saving the form. This action will mark the form as filled with no entries or records. Checking ‘NIL’ box will disable the form fields. So no entries will be allowed. If user wished to make entries, he is required to uncheck the ‘NIL’ checkbox first. The application will not allow user to both check ‘NIL’ and have entries. Once ‘NIL’ is checked and saved any entries displayed in form will be deleted by the application. It is equivalent of deleting all rows.

Figure 9: Form after checking ‘NIL’ checkbox.

As mentioned above every change has to be saved with ‘Save’ button. ‘Save’ button will also take the user to next form. So, after completing all the required changes to the form, user is required to click ‘Save’ to avoid any data loss. Application will collect data only if user clicks ‘Save’ button. After completing ‘Form 5C Annexure’ an acknowledgment screen will be displayed asking user to generate acknowledgement. User can generate acknowledgement of his APR using ‘Acknowledge Now’ button.  

4.1.5 Error cases Several alerts are built into the system to alert the user while doing any invalid operation or filling inappropriate values. If main screen does not load next form after clicking ‘Save’ button, this implies that data is not collected by the application. In that case user should try refilling the form with appropriate values or otherwise report to system administrator.  

4.1.5 APR Acknowledgement After form filling is complete user will have option to acknowledge the completion. The form filling will be considered complete after user acknowledges. No further editing in the entries will be possible from this time onwards. Therefore, it is advised to recheck all the entries before generating acknowledgement. On acknowledging the APR filling, user will be given an acknowledgement number. The application will send an email to the email id registered by user notifying him of acknowledgement number and a PDF attachment of his APR. He will also have option to get the PDF of the details filled by him using ‘Print’ button from the application. Print button will not print anything. It will just display a PDF file.

6.1 Administrator Administration section describes functionalities like adding, modifying, removing user records under user administration and adding, removing, modifying year records uhnder year administration.

6.1.1 Login The url for Administrator login is same as url for APR Filling url as mentioned in section 3.1. A special ‘User Id’ is provided for Administration login. Other behaviour of login is same as described in section 3.2.

6.1.2 Administrator Screen After successful login, administration screen will be loaded with three sections – Header, Left Panel and Main screen. Left Panel will display two buttons – Users and Years corresponding to user administration and year administration respectively. By default, user administration

screen will be displayed. On clicking left panel button user will move to respective screen. The individual screens, i.e. user administration screen and year administration screen will differ only in Main screen. Header and left panel will not change.

6.1.3 User Administration User administration screen will display a tabular form with fields - Usertype, EIS No/Login Id, Name, Designation, Grade, Pan No, Date of Birth, Date of Joining. All fields except usertype and EIS No/Login Id will be readonly initially. No existing records will be loaded in the screen automatically. Usertype – Application defines three types of users

i. Employee: A user that can fill APR form. ii. Vigilance: A user that can perform monitoring of APR filling for the company iii. Administrator: A user that can perform user and year administration.

Usertype is a dropdown field and by default ‘Employee’ is selected. Other options in select dropdown are vigilance and administrator. Any value can be selected.

Figure 23: User Administration screen

EIS No/Login Id – This value will be used as User Id for login. Since EIS Number is used for login for employees, it is recommended to use EIS number for usertype employee. If usertype is employee application will prevent to give a non-numerical login id to the user. For other two user types, numeric login id is not allowed. After EIS No/Login Id is filled, application will search for that user in available records. If any such record exists, other fields will be populated, otherwise, fields will be empty. In any case, all fields will become writable except two date fields where calendars are provided to select appropriate dates. ‘Add More’ button will create addition rows – one each click. Each row can be filled independently of previous rows as described earlier. A checkbox at the end of row can be checked to delete record of the user from application permanently. However, if employee has already filled APR forms, or is in the process of filling, that record cannot be removed and application will prevent user from checking such employee records. ‘Save’ button will save the form. Effect of saving the form will be as follows –

All rows for which there is no value in EIS No/Login Id will be ignored. All rows for which checkbox is checked will be removed permanently from the application. For rest of the rows existing records will be modified and new records will be added.

6.1.4 Year Administration Year administration screen will display a tabular form with fields ‘Year from’, ‘Year to’ and ‘Period’. All existing year records will be loaded into the screen. ‘Add more’ button will add one blank row at the end. ‘Year to’ and ‘Period’ fields will not be writable in this row. Once user enters values in ‘Year from’ field, Year to and Period fields will be populated automatically as per following rule – Year to = Year from +1 and Period = Yearfrom-(last two digits of year to). For example, if user enters 2009 in Year from field , Year to will become 2010 and Period 2009-10. ‘Year to’ and ‘Period’ fields will become writable after that and can be edited, if required. If value entered in yearfrom is already existing in the table, application will alert user for that same. User can check checkbox in each row to remove that year from application permanently. If any employee has filled or is in process of filling APR Form for that year, application will alert the user and prevent him from checking that checkbox.

Figure 24: Year Administration

‘Save’ action will save the records. It will delete all records for which checkbox is checked, and will insert newly added records and update existing records.

6.1.5 Excel Upload Bulk data upload feature is provided to administrator through Excel upload screen.
