Events
Overview
Events are used to record actions or occurrences related to a functional area record. At a minimum, each event includes an event type, a start and end date, and comments. An event can also be linked to documents on the same functional area record.
Events are managed on the Events tab of functional area detail pages. Event types are created and managed by a system administrator.
System Versus User Events
Events can be created by a user or system-generated:
User events are manually added via the Add Event button.
System events are created automatically when a document with the Create Event when Finalized checkbox selected is finalized, or when notifications are triggered and sent to external users.
By default, the Events tab is filtered to only show user events. To view system events, select the System option from the Source column filter. To view system events and user events, select the (All) option.
User Event Categories
User events are further grouped into the following categories:
Basic events: The simplest event type, used to capture occurrences such as phone calls and meetings.
Public notice events: Used to capture public notices, hearings, and meetings related to an application or proposed permit and share information with the public. For more information, see the Public Notice Events page.
Site inspection events: Used to create a planned inspection/evaluation record. For more information, see the Site Inspection Events page.
