There are three separate tabs on the left-hand side, the system automatically opens the review tab.
On the review tab you will find:
Once an item has been reviewed, the 'review status' needs to be updated by using the drop-down menu to the right of each item.
Comments can be added with your review and stored with the record. Please note the separate boxes indicating who can see the comments. Please be sure to add your comments before making a decision as once your decision is made the review is locked down.
In order to make a decision, verify that each item has been reviewed and the review status has been updated.
Once the system determines that you have completed the review steps the decision boxes will become active.
