Conditions

A condition is a requirement that you can apply to an application (or component of an application), that the application must fulfill to qualify for approval. Although conditions do not necessarily impose holds, they can prolong the permitting process until they met.

You can also use conditions to halt work. For example, if an application fails to meet certain established agency standards, you can place a hold on the application. A hold is a condition type that restricts the addition of an activity to a case. Conditions let you limit the activities, or tasks, that users can perform on an application.

Civic Platform enforces and applies conditions on all Civic Platform data, whether your agency stores address/parcel/owner (APO), contact, or licensed professional data within the Civic Platform database or in an external database. Conditions also apply to individual components of an application such as addresses, parcels, owner, licensed professionals, contacts, structures, or establishment. Conditions behave the same whether you apply them to an application or to an application component.

When you clone a record, you can choose to clone record conditions and inspection conditions along with other data you clone. For information about cloning, see Clone a record .

If a record contains one or more active conditions, the Condition column in the record list page displays the condition with the highest severity. You can click the condition link to view the details of the record conditions.

When you select or open a record with a condition, Civic Platform may display a condition status bar in the record detail portlet and allow you to change the condition details in a pop up Condition Notice (see Condition notices).

Conditions have severity levels assigned. These levels define what restrictions apply when a condition with a given security level is in place.
