Roles
iPBS currently manages multiple roles and representative types. They fit broadly into the categories of:
- Administrators
- Stadium managers and press officers
- Broadcasters and their subcontractors
- The media
- Match managers
- Stadium and venue staff
Each role category has its own workflow and user interface within iPBS to match their security levels and functionality requirements.
Got different category needs? No problem. These are totally flexible for customisation.
Zones
There are a number of different zones or areas used within sporting venues which can vary from one stadium to another due to their different sizes, access points and general hospitality capabilities.
The regular zones in operation at most regular venues include:
- Gantry
- Interview area
- Pitchside
- Press conference
- Press lounge
- Press box
- Mixed zone
- Observation seat
- TV studio
- Stadium AAA
- Stadium and pitchside AAA
These zones are colour and number coded in the iPBS system and translated identically onto the visitor badge to ensure consistency and cohesion from administrative planning through to match day management.
Again, there is total flexibility to edit and add custom zones where required.
Match Numbers
Each match has a unique tag called a Round within iPBS, which acts as the match number and can be used to identify it directly from within the database.
