\section{System Administration}
The webMIP system holds data used in the process of providing quotations
for Supplier agents. This data requires administrative functions to
keep it correct and up{}-to{}-date. The system also manages the users
and provides a method for producing system reports.

\subsection{System data}
The webMIP administrator role is able to administer system data to
ensure that values, descriptions and other details are correct and
up{}-to{}-date. The role can also create, read, update and delete the
system data. 

The data administered includes the following:

\begin{enumerate}
\item Meter Modules. See Appendix \ref{sec:AppendixMeterModules} for details;
\item Housing. See Appendix \ref{sec:AppendixHousing} for details;
\item Base. See Appendix \ref{sec:AppendixBase} for details;
\item Pricing data. See Appendix \ref{sec:AppendixPricingData} for details;
\item Users. See section \ref{sec:UserSecurity} ;
\item Caveats.
\item Postcodes. See Appendix \ref{sec:AppendixPostcodes} for details;
\item Drawings;
\item Reporting. The system allows the webMIP administrator role to run
the system data reports. The webMIP administrator role selects the
system data sources and exports them as CSV files.
\end{enumerate}

\subsection{Bulk Upload}
The webMIP system provides a bulk upload function for the uploading of
system data. This function is only available to the webMIP
Administrator user role. \ The bulk upload function will accept a CSV
file containing data described in Appendix  . When the bulk upload
routine is completed the entire system data set will be replaced by the
data provided in the uploaded CSV file. \ If the uploaded file does not
pass the webMIP bulk upload validation routine then the bulk upload
will fail and the exist system data will remain in place.

\subsubsection{User acceptance}
A process out side of the scope for webMIP will allow I\&C to attempt a
bulk upload run, on a user acceptance version of webMIP to confirm that
the upload is successful. This way the bulk upload can be tested
without impacting on the live system.
