Licensing: Submittals tab

The Submittals tab allows you to add and manage any submittals needed to process a license application or renewal. Submittals are documents that may be required for issuing and renewing a license. Depending on your jurisdiction's configuration, this tab may be populated with a list of submittals based on the license type that was selected when the application was initially created. Additional submittals can be added if necessary.

 

Adding a submittal

1. Begin typing or click the magnifying glass icon () to select the appropriate Submittal. *Note: If the submittal is not listed, it will need to be added through the Licensing Lookup Values page.
2. If any additional submittals are needed, click Add and repeat this process.
3. Click Save.

 

Submittal options

Once all submittals have been added to the license, various column headers will display that allow you to edit and process those submittals.

• Order: Adjust the order of the submittals listed on the tab using the text field. Click the up arrow icon () to move the specific submittal to the top of the list.
• Information Icon (): Clicking this icon will allow you to view important details about the submittal, as well as upload documents. You can also create a new submittal version, generate a deficiency report, add deficiency comments, or view the version history in order to help you process the license.
• Defer: Checking this box allows the license to be issued without receiving or accepting this submittal.
• Web Upload: Checking this box allows associated contacts or contractors with portal access to upload the document through the Citizen Portal.
  • By default, the Rec'd Req. field and Acc'd 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 license application. Uncheck these boxes to make the submittal optional prior to submitting the license application for Citizen Portal users.
• # Doc(s): This number indicates how many documents have been uploaded to this submittal.
• Status: This column shows the status of the submittal. Each status is configured by the jurisdiction and is tied to either the Pending, In Review, Approved, Deficient, or Cancelled submittal state.
• Received: This box should be checked to indicate that the document has been received by the jurisdiction, but has not been reviewed. *Note: This box will automatically be checked as soon as any document is uploaded to the submittal.
• Received On: The date entered here is the date the document was received by the jurisdiction.
• Rec'd Req. (Received Required): Checking this box requires you to mark the submittal as Received in order for the license to progress.
• Accepted: Check this box to indicate that the document has been reviewed and accepted by the jurisdiction for department review. This will also check the Received box if it has not already been checked. *Note: If the Acc'd Req box is checked, the Accepted box must be checked in order to issue the license unless the submittal has been deferred.
• Accepted On: The date entered here is the date the document was accepted by the jurisdiction.
• Acc'd Req. (Accepted Required): Checking this box requires you to mark the submittal as Accepted in order for the license to progress.
• Notes Icon (): Clicking this icon will allow you to add a note to the submittal. These notes can include attachments such as documents, pictures, or spreadsheets.
• Delete: Click the trash can icon () to remove the submittal from the license application. *Note: If child records exist, you cannot delete the submittal from the license.
