Overview of Participant Types

The business of a social enterprise organization involves many individuals and bodies. These are the "participants" of the organization. There are ten participant types modeled in the application. Each of these types plays a role in the delivery or receipt of benefits and services. For example, the person participant type receives benefits from the organization.

A set of information is stored for each participant type. This set includes common information stored for all participant types and additional information stored only for some participant types. For example, address information is stored for all participant types whereas deduction information is only stored for persons.

Each participant's information is stored in a central location. This allows the participant's information to be easily accessed and maintained by users. Participant information can also be reused as necessary throughout the application. For example, a person's information may be reused as part of case processing for that person.
