Overview
Compliance Action Types provide a mechanism to classify the different types of compliance response the agency may issue in response to an alleged breach of law, rule, or permit requirement. Examples of a compliance action include a Notice of Violation letter or an Administrative Order. Compliance Action Categories are used to group compliance action types.

To manage compliance action types, navigate to Admin > Lookups > Compliance Action Types. The Compliance Action Type Maintenance page displays all available compliance action types.
Adding or Editing a Compliance Action Type
From the Schedule Types List page either click the Add New Compliance Action Type button or Open an existing compliance action type.
The following table lists the fields and options available on the Add/Edit Compliance Action Type Screen
Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Compliance Action Type Code | Internal identifier for each unique compliance action type |
| Compliance Action Type Description | The text description for the compliance action type |
| Compliance Action Category | Categories are used to group compliance action types. Categories are currently configured as part of system installation and configuration. The assigned category indicates whether or not the compliance action is formal or informal. |
| Program Areas | Indicates the program areas to which the compliance action type applies. The compliance action type can be active or inactive for each program area. |
| Display 'Compliance Action Case Number' for Compliance Actions of this Type Checkbox | Indicates that a field is visible on the Compliance Action Detail screen to allow users to indicate a case number for the compliance action. This is in addition to the compliance action number. Case numbers are also searchable in the Compliance Action List screen. |
| Enable Confidentiality | Enables the Confidential checkbox on the Compliance/Enforcement Action Details page. This checkbox, when checked, allows the user to restrict visibility of and access to the compliance action to a specified set of users. See Designating a Compliance Action as Confidential. |
| Show 'Active' Compliance Actions of this Type in My Tasks | If checked, compliance actions in an Active status (e.g. Issued, Entered) will be visible on the user's My Tasks screen. Unchecking this option can be useful to remove clutter if a user is assigned to many compliance active actions that do not require active work to be done. |
| Show Fines tab on Compliance Action Detail Screen | If checked, the "Fines" tab will display on the Compliance Action Details screen for compliance actions of this type. |
| Compliance Action Number Prefix | If specified, nVIRO will apply a specific numbering scheme to new compliance actions created of this type. The available numbering schemes are configured as part of system installation and configuration. If no scheme is selected, a randomly generated unique identifier will be assigned to each new compliance action of this type. |
