Plus1% seeks to provide a standardised terminology across all the multi-sport Games for NOCs, NPCs, CGAs and other multi-sport organisations.  There is often no systematic approach to the terminology used in multi-sport Games and database management. Terminology is often left to volunteers and staff to determine.  As staff and volunteers change and the process varies from one Games to another and multiple databases are created for each Games the organisation losses the knowledge and common understanding of the standard terms used when managing data.

Plus1% looks to provide multi-sport administrators with a standarised set of terms so when we come together the terminology we talk is consistent and we can all “speak the same language.”

• ACCREDITATION: This is the term used by Organising Committees and Administrators for registering and providng an “accreditation pass” to access venues and facilities at a Games.
• ACCREDITATION DESIGNATION: The games specific title that the OC assigns to accredited team members such as Athlete, Chef de Mission, General Team Manager, Team Official, President, Guest,etc. These terms are decided upon by the Organsing Committee and maybe different to the terms used by your organisation. For example the OC may use the Chief Medical Officer whereas for your own internal use this person maybe your Lead Doctor. This field can be found under the Accreditation Tab on the dialog box.
• ACCREDITATION CATEGORY:  The games specific grouping code that the OC assigned to accredited team members for example Aa, Ac, Ao, CGA, G, etc. These are defined by the OC. This field can be found under the Accreditation Tab on the dialog box.
• ACCESS: Used to manage access to venues where the OC requires advice on the rights. For example some Officials might be given “ALL VENUE” access, this fields enable this access right to be managed using the Access field.  This field can be found under the Accreditation Tab on the dialog box.
• ADMIN GROUP: This is an important field in Plus1% that allows you to group team members together not related to sport. For example your Mission Staff or Headquarters personal are not allocated to a sport and can be group together using this feature. It works in conjunction with POSITION and both these fields can be found on the Selection Tab in the dialog box. Health Professionals is another example and the position might be Doctor or Massage Therapist. Admin Group can be used as a filter on the team search page and when building reports.
