The Pre-Approved tab is the third tab on the Actions interface.
Function
The Pre-Approved tab displays the list of project changes that were previously submitted on the Staging or TIP tabs. Users with Actions Pre-Approval Tab or STIP Administrator permissions can select change items for assignment to a STIP revision.
Filters
The Pre-Approved tab data can be filtered by using the dropdown control. When the tab is initially displayed, the filter will be set to "Show All." However, the user can select DOT Region, Program, or Need ID instead in this picklist to filter the tab. These options will trigger the appearance of a second field-- a picklist for DOT Region and Program and a textbox for Need ID-- which must be filled to update the tab's displayed data.
Controls
There are some controls offered in the Pre-Approved tab:
| Control | Used To... |
| Pre-Approved Revisions Summary Link | Open the Revision Summary for the projects displayed on the Pre-Approved tab. |
| Filters Dropdown | Choose Show All, DOT Region, Program, or Need ID to filter the projects listed. If the user selects DOT Region, Program, or Need ID, they must specify the selection with the second picklist/textbox. |
| Action to Take (for all blanks) Dropdown | Update the Action picklist for all displayed projects where the Action field is currently blank. |
| Change Comments Link | House comments for the changes that are included in the Revision Summary. |
| Save Changes Button | Process the changes in the tab. |
| Discard Changes Button | Reset all of the Action picklists back to the last saved selections. |
Actions
A project change can land here after its approval/endorsement on the Staging or TIP tabs. On the Pre-Approved tab, there are three available actions for changes at this point in the Actions workflow:
| Action | Description |
| Withdraw | This action will move the changes back to the previous workflow step (either TIP tab or Staging tab). An email will be sent to the Requestor indicating that the requested changes were withdrawn. |
| Add to Revision (X) |
This option will progress the change to the Revision tab, to be displayed within Revision (X), where (X) is a STIP Revision that was previously created but has not yet been submitted for approval. There can be multiple STIP Revisions open at any time. For example, the picklist could have Add to Revision (5) and Add to Revision (6). |
| Add to NEW Revision (Y) | This option will progress the change to the Revision tab, to be displayed within Revision (Y), where (Y) is a newly created STIP Revision represented by the next number after the current open revisions. |
These "Actions" can be selected for project changes individually ("Action" columns) or in bulk ("Action to Take (for all blanks)" picklist). To save these selections, the user can click "Save Changes."
