This feature enables Fire/EMS personnel to properly document plan reviews as part of the permit issuance process. Plan review documentation ensures regulatory compliance, creates an audit trail for permit activities, and streamlines the workflow between plan review completion and permit approval. This process is essential for maintaining accurate records of all review activities conducted during the permit lifecycle.
Plan reviews are a critical component of the permit process in Fire/EMS operations, particularly for construction permits, occupancy permits, and fire safety system installations. The plan review documentation feature integrates seamlessly with the permit workflow, allowing reviewers to track review types, completion dates, time spent, and link reviews directly to specific permits. This functionality supports agencies in maintaining compliance with local regulations while providing transparency in the review process. Prerequisites include having Plan Review Types and Permit Type Options properly configured in the system.
Users must have the following permissions to complete plan review documentation:
Q: Why can't I see Plan Review options? A: Verify that Plan Review Types and Permit Type Options are properly configured in the system setup.
Q: Can I change the assigned reviewer? A: Yes, while the system automatically assigns the signed-in user, you can update the reviewer assignment during the documentation process.
Q: What happens after documenting the plan review? A: You can continue with the permit workflow, which may include approval/rejection, invoice generation, and inspection scheduling based on your agency's processes.
Q: Is the review time field required? A: The total time field is optional but recommended for accurate billing and performance tracking.
Q: Can I add multiple plan reviews to one permit? A: Yes, you can document multiple plan reviews for a single permit by repeating the Add process for each review type.
