Approve Permit

Explanation

This activity is used to approve a permit. An approved permit does not usually require a revision, however if such a requirement does arise you can revise it by changing the status to UnderPreparation (right-click, point to Permit Status and click Revise). When the revision has been made you can once again approve the permit.

In addition, a permit with the PreparationApproved status can also be cancelled if required, provided no isolation orders are connected to it.

Prerequisites

A permit must have been defined and isolation orders connected (if required) in the Permit window.
