The Sign management tool is designed to streamline the creation, maintenance, and management of signage data within the national addressing system of the Sultanate of Oman. It ensures organized handling of sign data, tracking from manufacturing to maintenance, alongside integration with the existing addressing data framework.

• Data model development: The tool must support a comprehensive data model tailored for sign management, incorporating essential elements such as identifiers, QR code content, locations, materials, manufacturing, installation dates, warranty details, and cost/value.
• Integration with addressing data model: The data model must reference the existing addressing data model, including street and address unit number identifiers to ensure consistency and accuracy.
• Sign CRUD operations: Capability to create, read, update, and delete various signs, including address unit number plates, sub address signs, cul de sac/crescent signs, and street name signs. The integration should be based on use of the addressing API to ensure real-time availability of address unit numbers and streets
• Task CRUD operations: The system must allow users to create, read, update, and delete tasks associated with signs, with functions to assign users, signs, and specify the type of task involved.
• Log message management: Efficient logging functionality for creating, reading, updating, and deleting log messages related to tasks concerning aspects like damage reporting, maintenance needs, and inspection notes.

• Identifier management: The tool should uniquely identify each sign with designated identifiers, ensuring easy and accurate sign tracking.
• QR code integration: QR codes must be integrated for each sign, holding relevant content and linking back to the management system for fast data retrieval.
• Location management: The system must indicate precise locations of signs within the hierarchy of national addressing data.
• Warranty and cost tracking: Users should track warranty periods, conditions, and cost/value associated with each sign, supporting financial and operational planning
• Incident registration and follow-up: It must be possible to register and follow up damages to signs including responsibility, cost recovery and follow-up.
• User and task assignments: Flexibility in assigning users and tasks relevant to specific signs, ensuring proper accountability and task completion tracking.
• Responsive log messaging: Automatic logging and alerting features for tasks, allowing for swift action on addressing damage reports, maintenance needs, and inspection findings.
