Overview

The centerpiece of nVIRO is the Site, Person, or Company record. All other information is tied to this main record.

A site, person, or company are all permutations of the same type of master record within nVIRO. When this master record is created, it contains a setting to indicate whether the record is one of these three types of entities. In some areas of nVIRO, it is referred to simply as a site.

Sites, persons, and companies can be related to each other. For example, one company can have three sites and each site can have multiple permits, evaluations, compliance actions, etc. Shared attributes are available on each functional area record, although not all shared attributes are available on all functional areas.

Site Status

New sites can be created by internal users or external users.

External users create sites by selecting Create New Site when submitting an application form. When an external user creates a site via an application submission, the site status is set to Pending. When the application is imported via the Inbox, the site status changes to Active.

Internal users create sites by clicking the Create New Entity button on the Site Search page. When an internal user creates a site, the site status is immediately set to Active.

Changing Site Status

Once a site is Active in the system, it remains in that status as long as the site remains a separate entity in the system. The only time a site changes to a status of Inactive is when the site is merged into another site. In cases in which an Inactive site needs to be changed back to Active, Windsor Support will need to perform this action directly in the database; there is no way to accomplish this via the user interface.
