The web-based system must be secure (password protected) so that only authorized personnel can order business cards and must provide a separate page/site so that only authorized personnel (Program Manager) can approve submitted business cards. The program manager will provide a list of authorized users and passwords. The system must have a user-friendly web page so users can input recruiter's information.

After the program manager approves a specific batch of orders, the web-based system must provide a total count of orders approved in that batch/print order and generate a spreadsheet that contains requestor names, recipient's names, confirmation date and number. �The program manager will forward this list to the user to show when and what was ordered. The web-based system must provide an option for users to submit a previous order from a ""history or look-up file"" using a name or confirmation number from a previous order. �If a change is necessary, the user must be able to make the change to the previous order and then submit as a new order. The contractor may not proceed with production until each order has been approved or disapproved online by the program manager. Once the cards have been printed and shipped, the web-based system must generate an e-mail containing a shipping list of all cards printed on a specific print order (to include name of recipient, date shipped, estimated delivery date and a tracking number) to the program manager and the recipient. NOTE: The actual order will not be considered �placed� until an electronic confirmation is entered into the contractor�s on-line ordering system.
