How to Use the Update Button

NOTE: Do NOT enter any Personally Identifiable Information (PII) into the IHTA system! In addition, please address only one vendor in any (each) QIR.

# When to Use the Update Button

In addition to the QIR workflow described in QIR Overview, the QIR functionality was also designed to allow for open communication between the Originator, Vendor, and National Administrator.

Throughout the QIR workflow, the National Administrator, Originator, and Vendor use the Update button to submit Recommendations and Remarks, add attachments, and/or to request or provide additional information on the Recommendations and Remarks or Vendor Actions tabs.

Below are some sample scenarios for when it is appropriate to use the Update button:

- National Administrator requires additional information from the Originator. The request is entered in the Recommendations and Remarks field and the National Administrator clicks Update. This request may also trigger the Vendor Response Due.

- Vendor requires additional information from the Originator or National Administrator. The request is entered in the Vendor Actions field and the Vendor clicks Update.

- Originator requires additional information from the Vendor. The request is entered in the Recommendations and Remarks field and the Originator clicks Update.

- National Administrator requires additional information from the Vendor. The request is entered in the Recommendations and Remarks field and the National Administrator clicks Update.

- Add or remove an attachment. Add the attachment by clicking the Add button and selecting the attachment using the browser. Remove the attachment by selecting an attachment from the Attachment table, and click the Remove button. In either instance, after completing the add or remove action, click Update.

NOTE: Clicking the Update button does not change the status of the QIR. Also, it does not stop the Vendor Response Due clock for the due date.
