The following article details Advanced Contractor Management (Access Levels), it is advisable that you use 
Permits instead, which is a straight forward, easy induction process.

Access Templates can be viewed as the 'tree trunk', attached are 'branches' (Access Levels) and 'leaves' (contractors).
Thereby, you can have multiple branches (Access Levels) coming from the tree trunk (Access Template) and on every branch are leaves (contractors).

Access Levels are the ‘branches’ that define the inductions, permits and insurances a contractor needs to come on-site. Depending on the site, the type of work, contractors, and how you want to organise a site you may have several ‘branches’.

For example, you may have a ‘branch’ for ‘general maintenance’ (for painting, gardening), one for ‘office maintenance’ (for photo copiers, networks etc.) and another for ‘chlorine plant shut down’ (for heavy and dangerous work). The contractor is then placed into the ‘Access Level’ (branch) appropriate to the work to be conducted. A contractor can be placed under as many ‘Access Levels’ as required (they are then prompted for the ‘Access Level’ when they sign-in).
