External documents
SmartGov offers the ability to quickly upload documents added to a Bluebeam project during the check in process, from within Bluebeam. This allows a jurisdiction to utilize SmartGov as the "system of record" for all documentation pertaining to the permit. These documents are added as attachments to a note identified with a source of Bluebeam.
Create a deficiency report and begin a new cycle
If a permit type is configured for cycling and any workflow step on the permit has been set to deficient, another cycle will be required. Steps to end a cycle, reviewing new responses, and completing a review can be found on the Permit Cycles Tab page. Monitor the Cycle List page to manage and generate deficiency reports for the cycles.
