Recurring inspections: Submittals tab

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

       Bright Idea:

When changing the status of a submitted file, you may receive an error message that says "The Item Status must match the rollup status. The current rollup status is [status]. Override status if needed." This may occur if the submittal is tied to a workflow step. You can check the Status Override box in the Version Detail window you are working in or close the window and navigate to the Workflow tab to continue changing the status of the submittal.
