After logging in, SIGEP automatically redirects you to the dashboard for your role. Administrators go to /administrador/, coordinators to /coordinador/, and so on — no manual navigation required.

Prerequisites

  • SIGEP installed and running (see Installation)
  • A superuser / administrator account (created during installation with python manage.py createsuperuser)

Create your first event

1

Log in as Administrator

Open your SIGEP instance and navigate to /login/. Enter your administrator username (or email) and password.You will be redirected automatically to /administrador/.
2

Create the event

From the Administrator dashboard, go to Eventos (/administrador/eventos/). Click Crear evento and fill in the required fields:
FieldDescription
TítuloThe event name
DescripciónA description of the event
FechaThe event date
LugarVenue or location
CupoMaximum capacity (0 = unlimited)
The event is created in BORRADOR (Draft) state. Participants cannot register until it is published.
3

Create and assign a Coordinator

Go to Usuarios (/administrador/usuarios/) and create a user with the Coordinador role, or navigate to /registrar/ and use the coordinator access code.
Registering with the COOR role requires the coordinator access code. Contact your system administrator to obtain it.
Once the coordinator account exists, the Administrator can assign them to the event through Roles (/administrador/roles/).
4

Configure and publish the event

Log in as the Coordinator (or switch users) and navigate to /coordinador/. Select the newly created event at /coordinador/evento/seleccionar/.From the coordinator dashboard you can:
  • Add schedule activities at /coordinador/cronograma/
  • Configure rubrics at /coordinador/rubricas/
  • Assign venue spaces at /coordinador/espacios/
When ready, change the event state to PUBLICADO at /coordinador/evento/<pk>/estado/. The event is now open for registration.
5

Invite participants and speakers

Share the registration URL (/registrar/) with your attendees. Participants and speakers self-register using their email address and choose the appropriate role:
  • Ponente (Speaker) — to submit a presentation proposal
  • Participante — to register a project
The Administrator can also create accounts directly at /administrador/usuarios/crear/ and send a set-password email to the user so they can set their own password.
6

Assign evaluators

Once speakers and participants have registered, the Coordinator assigns evaluators to projects at /coordinador/evaluadores/. Each evaluator must have the EVAL role.Evaluators log in and find their assigned projects at /evaluador/proyectos/.
7

Review results and close the event

During and after the event, the public ranking dashboard at / shows real-time scores. When the event is complete, the Coordinator changes the state to CERRADO at /coordinador/evento/<pk>/estado/.Participants and speakers can then download their participation certificates from their respective dashboards.
