Overview

Functional Areas are the major modules within nVIRO. There are five primary functional areas:

• Sites - The central entity under which all information is organized. A "site" record can be one of three types: Site, Person or Organization.
• Submissions - Forms submitted to the agency for processing. Submissions can be permit applications, permit change requests (e.g. modifications, transfers, renewals), complaints, service requests, and compliance reports (schedules)
• Permits - Agency-issued authorizations to perform some activity
• Evaluations - Inspections and off-site records reviews, including any identified violations or deficiencies
• Compliance Actions - Formal and informal enforcement activities

Secondary functional areas include:

• Conservation Easements - Similar to sites, an area that has been designated as a protected area
• Financial Instruments - Bonds and other financial set-asides 
• Receivables (Financials) - Financial charges, payments, and credits
