# User Manual - Condensed ### 1. INTRODUCTION The Event Management module forms part of the Learning Management System (LMS) in the Signify HR Suite of Software. Its main purpose is the efficient management of events. The module enables an event to be taken through its entire life cycle i.e. from setting it up, managing booking requests from prospective attendees, booking request approval by management, formal booking by a training academy, the printing of attendance registers, capturing of learner records, and the eventual closure of the event. The Event Management module is strictly process and role-driven and in this manual, the different roles are dealt with according to their responsibilities at different stages of the event management process. In other words, understanding the event management process is of the utmost importance. The focus of this manual is to enable an Event Administrator to quickly set up an event, without any bells and whistles. Additional features are dealt with later in the manual. #### 1.1.
