Activating work permit types

You can add an Work Permit and not set it to Active yet.

Tip While configuring a Work Permit type, it is good practice to have the Active checkbox disabled and not set the type to Active until configuration is complete and ready to go live.

Guidelines

When a Work Permit is active, it will be possible to create Work Permits of that type in the system.

• The user will see only types that are set to Active.

• Work Permits of this type cannot be created unless the type is set to Active.

Set a Work Permit type to Active

1. On the Main menu, click Work permit type.

   

2. Enter a search criteria into the query window and click OK. This returns a list of matching work permits in the Work permit type window.

3. Select the work permit type and then select the Active check box.

4. Click Save on the main toolbar.

   

Deactivating Work Permit types

You can deactivate Work Permit type when the type has been replaced by a newer version.

If an Active type is deactivated, the following happens:

• Users cannot create new Work Permits of that type.

• The type no longer appears as an available type in the Web Application.

• It is no longer possible to search for existing Work Permits of that type by the Type field in the Search panel of the Web Application.

• It is still possible to find existing Work Permits of that type if you have the Work Permit number, or search on another field.

• Work Permits of that type still exist in the system.
