Statement of scope 

                 The Vehicle Parking System displays information regarding the carpark to any member prior to his or her entry. The member is able to view the carpark status from the system. The information displayed are as follow : the total empty slots available, the empty slots available on level 1, level 2 and level 3 of the carpark. In addition, every entry will be recorded and updated as parking lots information. It will contain data like date in, time in, hours and NRIC of the member when the car first entered into the carpark. Upon reaching the desired slot, information like the number and the level of the slot will be updated. Furthermore, when the member exit, the time out and date out is also updated too. 

                 In the system, system users, the employees, can also login into the system using his user id and password. After login successfully, a number of options can be selected. There is the maintenance of the member and system user records. It also has the utilities and report manager that will manage the system and print out reports. 

                Under the maintain member option, the user can create , update, delete, search records and replace card based on the member's name, NRIC, card no or plate number of his car. The member can have the same name but what differentiate them will be their NRIC which is unique. Therefore checking of duplicates has to be done. The member's card number will be generated upon the a new creation. Moreover, the member can also be either a registered member or an employee as the employee can also be a member of the club. They are differentiated by using a type field (for future enhancement as employees will have special benefits from a  normal member).

               In the maintenance of the system user records, function like adding of a new user, modifying and deleting of the records are also available. But certain function is only accessible by user of high status or authority like a supervisor. The user id is created automatically for new user therefore duplication is impossible.

              In the utilities manager option, user can allow the reuse of void card number that was caused due to the losses by the member. The resetting of the slot availability is also available, if there is any discrepancy, to enhance data correctness. Purging of one year old records is necessary for housekeeping purposes.

              Lastly in the report manager option, users also generate different reports based on their selections like using date, date range or plate number combination to retrieve the desired data only.
