1.1 What is NAIS?

National Agricultural Information and Knowledge Management System (NAIS) is a national platform for

Information and knowledge sharing and exchange for Agricultural Research and Development

(ARD) for target groups and stakeholders in the country.

1.2 What are the Objectives of NAIS?

The objectives of the National Agricultural Information and Knowledge Management System (NAIS) are: 1. To strengthen the capacity of the Ministry of Agriculture and other stakeholders to establish

an effective and efficient information system that will support agricultural development and

ensure food security at a country level, based on the needs and demands of its stakeholders

and integrating the various resources in the MOA and NARIs.

2. To serve as an information and knowledge repository/exchange mechanism at the national

level and a gateway to the national knowledge systems for Agricultural Research and

Development (ARD) at a country level, aiming for strengthening, coordinating, and adding

value to initiatives by national programs and regional organizations in order to increase

agricultural production and improve food security for the benefit of improving performance of

farmers and agrarian businesses.

1.3 What are the expected outcomes of NAIS?

The development of a relevant, effective and harmonized National Agricultural Information and

Knowledge Management System (NAIS) is expected to lead NARIs, MOA and other ministries/

stakeholders to the following outcome:

1. Improve the capacity to access and exchange information, and to convert it into useful

knowledge, as it is very essential for the development objectives of poverty eradication, food

security, sustainable development and increased productivity and competitiveness.

2. Preserve needed resources, make maximize use of the results of other projects and

database applications, prevent redundancy and duplication of data and efforts, and ensure

maximum co-ordination among various agricultural institutes, programs and personnel for

the benefit of agricultural development and food security.

3. Create awareness at various policymaking and technical levels within member countries on

the importance of the development of agricultural through an integrated approach.

Getting started with Back

End Interface

In this section, you learn about different types of users involved in the process of

data entry, approval, and publication of entered data to the web and learn about

their roles.

The process of adding, approving or publishing data is best illustrated through a

number of workflow scenarios which are provided in this section.


27

1. Back End Interface

The backend interface is composed of five components (Top Menu):

1- Modules,

2- Dictionary,

3- System Management,

4- Change password, and

5- System Status Reports

The backend modules (Projects, Experts, Publications, Focal points, Events, Online Events,

News, Online News, Links, Country Reports, Good practices, and RSS) provide the data

management functionalities that enable system administrators to view/add/edit/delete data items

into the database. These components are accessible by system administrators only (Figure 1).

Figure 1: Back end Interface

The dictionary component enables the National Administrator (only) to translate the backend

and frontend interfaces to different languages.

Change Password component enables the Institution administrators to change password of

system users.

http://168.202.250.211/jordan2010/cms/users/changepassword.aspx

http://168.202.250.211/jordan2010/cms/reports/list.aspx?mySelect=6&lang=EN



System Management component enables the National Administrator and Institution

administrators to assign system administrators to various institutions in the system.

System Status Reports component enables system administrator to view log file about system

users under his authority (ex: who logged to the system and changes done by users)

2. Back end users

The System has several types of users; each user has his own responsibilities. These users are

National Administrator, Institution Administrator, and Data Entry. Each user has his own user

name and password to login to the system with his specified authority. The responsibility of

each system user is illustrated in the following table.

Data Entry

The Data Entry is assigned by Institution administrator to

institutions and is responsible for

1- Add/Reject/Delete/Edit and view (Projects, Experts, Publications, Focal points, Events, Online Events, News, Online News, Links, Country Reports, Good Practices, and RSS) under his authority.

2- Send all items to Institution Administrator for

approval.

4- Modules Workflow

In this scenario (Figure 3), a data entry may add a new record (Projects, Experts, Publications,

Focal points, Events, News or any module under his authority), and has authority to Edit or

Delete them at any point in time until s/he submits it for approval. The record state now is called

“work in progress”

The Data Entry sends the record to Institute Administrator for approval. Once it reaches the “To

be published” state, the Data Entry will no longer have any access to it unless it gets rejected

by Institute Administrator.

The Institute Administrator has authority to edit, Reject to data entry and delete any record

before publishing, and to publish it as well. The record state now is called “Published”.

Note: The Institute Administrator has authority to add directly any module under his authority to

the front-end interface.
