RMS 2.0 — Prototype

A clickable, high-fidelity prototype of Research Management System 2.0 for ISRA Institute / Research Management Centre (RMC), INCEIF University.

Live demo: https://obel1.github.io/rms2-prototype/

What this is

A visual, navigable preview of the proposed RMS 2.0 — the Request Submission hub, forms, role-based approval routing, position registry, letter generation, and dashboards — built from the forms-to-system specification.

What this is NOT

This is not the live system. There is no backend, no login, and no database. All data is mock/in-memory and nothing persists. It exists for stakeholder review and to align on design before development with the ICT department.

Key concept

Approval routing is tied to office positions, not named individuals. The Position Registry resolves each position to its current holder — change the holder in one place and all future approvals re-route automatically. Historical approvals stay correctly attributed to whoever held the post at the time.

Screens

#	Screen	Route
1	Dashboard	/
2	Request Submission Hub	/requests
3	Disbursement Request Form	/submit/financial/drf
4	RA Application Form	/submit/research/ra-application
5	Research Extension Form	/submit/research/extension
6	Projects · Project Detail	/projects · /projects/:id
7	Position Registry (admin)	/admin/positions
8	Letter preview modal	shared, on Project Detail + RA form

Run locally

npm install
npm run dev

Then open http://localhost:5173/rms2-prototype/

Deploy

Pushing to main runs the GitHub Actions workflow in .github/workflows/deploy.yml, which builds the site and publishes it to GitHub Pages. The first deploy takes 2–5 minutes; subsequent deploys are faster.

Stack

• Vite + React 19
• Tailwind CSS v4
• React Router 7 (HashRouter — works on GitHub Pages without server config)

Status

Design prototype · for internal review · production build pending ICT scoping.
