Conditions

There are two kinds of conditions: conditions of approval and general conditions. The two classes share the same logic but are used for different purposes. Conditions of approval are used to define a list of requirements that residents must meet to receive the approval for a permit or an inspection. Use a general condition to indicate a problem on the record, inspection, address, contact, or another application component. Generally, the condition severity is Lock, Hold, Notice, or Required. Administrators can manage conditions of approval and general conditions separately in the Administration > Conditions page.

Example: You can create a standard condition of approval for users to apply to a record and you can define the status options for conditions of approval.

All conditions and condition types support using template fields that you create using custom fields and custom list groups. To define custom fields or custom lists for a condition template, see Create a condition template.

Administrators establish security policies for condition types (see Security policies) and then set and manage permissions in the Administration > Conditions page (see Assign conditions).
