About Forms

Forms are documents available to the public and internal users for submission. The form type distinguishes the purpose of the form. Form types include applications, service requests, permit change forms (modifications, renewals, transfers and, terminations), complaints, and schedules. Form submissions are the primary means of initiating a work activity in nVIRO. Forms are designed and managed by internal users with certain administrative rights.

Form Types

Each form is assigned a Form Type. A given form will be one of the following types:

• Application

• Service Request

• Permit Change - Permit change forms are a type of form that can only be filled out in the context of an existing permit. Permit change forms can be configured to prepopulate permit information into a form submission, such as permit number, dates, and permit category and type. 

• Schedule

• Complaint

• Program Component

Actions and Deadlines

Action Types and Deadline Rules can be configured at a form level. An action type indicates the type of processing the agency will perform on submissions using the form. A single form can be configured to have one or more action types. For example, an application may have two action types, one for regular processing and one for expedited processing.

Deadline rules (clocks) are then assigned to each action type. This allows for multiple clock scenarios per form. Within these settings is the ability to allow for holds, the resetting of clocks after a hold has ended, and the differentiation between administrative completeness and technical review deadlines.
