In order to enable open innovation with non-employees Qmarkets can allow external users to self-register to the system.
This video overviews the self-registration process. It details the steps users must take to register to your site.
The self-registration can be done via social networks (such as Facebook or LinkedIn) or directly via the system.
The basic profile information - full name and E-Mail is either pulled from Facebook/LinkedIn or required to be inserted manually accordingly.
Additional profile fields, such as Company, Phone Number, Age etc., can be configured to be included in the registration form as mandatory/optional.
This enables organizations to collect relevant information from external users during the registration process.
If done via the systems, the users' self-registration has 2 configurations to choose from:
- Automatic approval
After registering the user will get an email to verify his/hers email and once verifying it, he/she can start collaborating.
When this option is selected, submission can either be kept as DRAFT OR be automatically submitted once the user verifies his/hers email address.
- Pending admin approval.
After registering the user needs first to be approved by the system administrators.
This is relevant when the system owners want to limit the open innovation to only limited users based on their profile, expertise etc.
