Event Types

Overview

Event types define submission-level events (such as comments, letters, public notices, and inspections) related to a site.

Searching Event Types

nVIRO has 22 configurable event types, each designed to support different system behaviors based on program needs. Not all event types may be applicable or available, depending on the functional modules that a program is using.
