  • Defer: Check this box if the submittal for this permit type should not be automatically required. *Note: A deferred submittal does not need to be addressed until the permit reaches the Closed state.
  • E-Plans: Check this box to allow submittals associated with this permit type to be digitally reviewed using an electronic plan review application such as Bluebeam. *Note: You must also check the Electronic Plan Review option in the Main tab options, as well as associate the submittal with a workflow step by clicking the Submittal Steps icon ().
  • Web Upload: Check this box to allow users to upload their documents associated with this submittal after creating a permit of this permit type on the Citizen Portal. Citizens are unable to attach documents to their application before submitting their permit request.
    • By default, the Rec'd Date Req. field and Acc'd Date Req. fields will be automatically checked when the Web Upload box is checked. This will require a citizen to upload the submittals prior to submitting their permit application.

  • Acc'd Date Req: Check this box to require an accepted date for this submittal.

  • Workflow Steps: Click the Submittal Steps icon () to associate workflow steps with this submittal. In order to associate workflow steps with the submittal, you will need to setup workflow steps on the Workflow tab first. Associating workflow steps with submittals will cause the submittal documents to appear in the workflow step when processing permits of this type.
    1. In the Submittal Steps window, select the step(s) that you need to associate with the permit type. *Note: The workflow steps are titled to indicate whether the step occurs during the Admin, Review, or Final stages of processing.
