Access New Certificate
From the main dashboard options, select New Certificate.
Component Selection & Location Check
A list of legitimate components will open (you will only see what you are permitted to certify).
- Permissions: Visibility is based on your current country (e.g., if logged in Italy, you see components allowed for Italian measurers).
- Disabled Components: If components are disabled (light blue), you are not authorized to certify them in the current location. Contact IODA Admin to request changes.
Identify Component
- Select the allowed component you wish to measure
- Scan the item with your phone. If the item is not picked up, you may enter the RFID Serial Number of the item
- Tap the Checkmark button to proceed
Initialization

- Tap the Arrow (lower right) to begin the form
- Disclaimers: You must accept the mandatory disclaimers to unlock the form
Measurement Form
The screen displays the specific rule and an "Actual" field.
- Enter Value: Input the measured value in the "Actual" field
- Helper Tools:
- Rules (Yellow Circle): View detailed general rules
- ? (Black Button): View details for the current specific rule
- Image: Reference diagram at the bottom of the screen
- Navigation: Use the arrows at the bottom to move to the Previous Page or Next Page (item)
Declaration & Saving
- After the last step, the Measurer Declaration appears (showing your info and date)
- Add Comments if necessary (i.e. this is where if something needs to be noted it must be added here)
- Tap the Checkmark (lower right) to save the completed measurement
Completion
- The system will now generate the measurement certificate for that component

5. Equipment Inspection (Events)
Use this option during a regatta should you wish to view a certificate for a component:
- Select Equipment Inspection from the menu
