This Week's Webinars

NMVTIS State Web Interface (SWI)  – Understanding the Administrative Features Tuesday, October 8, 2019, 2:00-3:00 pm (ET)
The NMVTIS SWI Web Application is used by the states to perform title verification and data corrections. This webinar focuses on how the states use the administrative features to oversee the states user community. A brief overview of the SWI application is also provided. The SWI application has been built so that each state manages their own user community. This includes configuring the system with organizations to which users are assigned. The state administrator is responsible for user role assignments and user account activation and deactivation. The SWI Application also includes a reporting component that allows state administrators to monitor user activity. 

This webinar is for AAMVA jurisdiction members only.

The intended audience for this webinar are NMVTIS Help Desk Personnel, Business Process Analyst and IT System Integrators.
