Conditions are indicators that can be placed on records, licensed professionals, and reference data to ensure requirements are met before a record can proceed. There are four different conditions of increasing severity that can be applied. See the table below for an outline of the conditions and their effects.
| Severity | Record Results | Reference Data Results |
|
Notice |
The notice condition indicates special instructions to the person completing the application. Accela Automation displays a banner across the top of the page when you open the application or any object associated with the application. Notices do not inhibit the application process in any way. |
The notice condition lets you associate a message or notice with an object, such as an address, parcel, or professional. Accela Automation displays a pop-up window when you open the application or associated object. This is the lightest severity available for a condition and provides the most freedom with regards to changes to that item. This condition is most often used as a reminder. For example, a condition could be placed on a parcel that is located in a flood plain. |
|
Hold
|
A hold condition restricts the addition of an activity to a case. For example:
• You cannot schedule or update inspections. • You cannot process fees or do cashiering functions. • You cannot process workflow tasks. |
You cannot edit an object that has a hold attached. |
|
Required
|
The Required condition is unique to workflow tasks. It indicates that a certain activity or field must be completed before the user can proceed to the next activity in the application. | |
|
Lock
|
A lock condition prevents users from performing certain operations on locked applications. For example: • You cannot schedule or update inspections. • You cannot add or edit reference objects. • You cannot process fees or do cashiering functions. • You cannot process workflow tasks. • You cannot edit the application status, additional information, application specific information, or renewal information. |
A locked object cannot be edited and cannot be associated with any other applications. You cannot edit objects that are associated with a locked object. In addition, a service lock placed on an address will restrict the type of permits that are available for it. This is the highest severity available for a condition. |
