Action Statuses
This list displays the different Action Statuses a VA customized record may go through as it steps through the approval workflow within PECS. Note that only seven of the following eleven states are displayed in the user interface - in other words, some of this information is “behind-the-scenes.” It is included here as information only.
- New - A new customization request has been created. If a user has the appropriate authority, they may modify the request (Modified) to be completed at a later point. Then, if they have the proper authority, they may submit the request as reviewed (Reviewed).
- Modified - A user can make changes to their own New requests. The record will remain Modified until a user with the proper authority (Approver role) reviews the request and submits the request as Reviewed.
-
- Modified After Approve - (displays as Modified) A user with the proper authority has requested a change in the Approved customization that requires another approval process.
- Modified After Delete - (displays as Modified) A user with the proper authority has requested the deleted record be considered again for Approval with or without modifications. This requires another approval process.
- Reviewed - This is the first stage of approval. A user with the proper authority (Approver role) reviews the new or modified customization request and submits it as Reviewed. The approver may also reject or modify the request. Note that an approver can review their own requests but not approve them.
-
- Reviewed After Approve - (displays as Reviewed) Modifications were made to an approved record. A user with the proper authority (Approver role) reviews the request and submits it as Reviewed. The Approver may also reject the request, in which case the record returns to the Approved state, or they may modify it.
- Reviewed After Delete - (displays as Reviewed)- Modifications were made to a deleted record. A user with the proper authority (Approver role) reviews the request and submits it as Reviewed. The Approver may also reject the request, in which case the record returns to Deleted state, or they may modify it.
- Rejected - The customization request is in a Rejected state. At this point the user may make changes, resubmit, or keep the transaction in the rejected state. All records that are rejected or not approved will remain in that state and will be available to the user for any future changes.
- Approved - This is the second stage of approval. A user with the proper authority (Approver role) who did not submit the request as Reviewed will review the record and may approve, reject, or modify the request.
- Delete Reviewed - The record remains active but a user with the proper authority (Approver role) has requested deletion of an existing approved customization.
- Deleted - A user in the Approver role who did not submit the request for Deletion may delete the customization. If an Approver confirms the deletion, the record will remain active for potential future modifications.
