Overview

The Other Permits page is essentially a control console where all non-building permits are first entered (or received through the PSDCitywide PortalThe PSDCitywide Portal is an online customer-facing application used to submit Permitting applications. See the PSDCitywide Portal User's Guide for details.) and from where all other matters pertaining to permits are accessible. It opens up in a grid in which each row contains a permit with pertinent information appearing across a set of columns (which can be augmented and rearrangedSee Grid Customization for details. as required). 

Permits rely on a variety of categories, such as Permit Types, Inspection Types, Fees, etc. whose contents must be fully set up in advance. These are all the categories that appear within the Home 🢡 Permitting 🢡 Other Permits: Manage section. An Other permit record, for example, cannot be created without the appropriate permit type, along with numerous other pre-sets.

This is the Other Permits screen, which lists all the Other Permits in the system (currently) sorted in reverse chronological order by their unique, system-assigned Permit number ❶:

The first column ❷ may contain one or two icons: the checkbox icon  ❸, indicates that the current record was created using PSDCitywide Portal, while the globe icon  ❹ indicates that the property the permit is associated with has a GIS mapping. No icon, of course, indicates that that the building permit was created on the full CW system and that it does not have a GIS mapping. Clicking on the GIS globe icon  ❺ will allow you to access a map where you can see the GIS-mapped sites and view basic permitting information concerning those sites.

You can add as many contacts (e.g. multiple Builder contacts) as required.

Details (Add Mode)

The Details screen contains all the details pertaining to the chosen Permit type. It's contents are specific in each case to the chosen permit type, and each permit type has been individually defined by your Permitting administrator to contain all the relevant fields for that permit type. Also, the layout and structure of this screen can vary from one permit type to another, each designed to facilitate a logical data entry flow (or e.g. to mimic an existing set of forms). That being said, you also have a great deal of flexibility in modifying the screen for each new permit you create. You can, for example, add individual fields (within a field grouping) or even add an entire field group when entering the permit details. This allows you to precisely define the individual permit you are entering over and above the pre-set default field and field group settings that the chosen permit type starts off with.

This is an example of an Other Permit Details screen for an Entrance Permit:

It contains a variety of sections and fields that have been set up specifically by this municipality for this particular permit type. There are only a few fields here that are customary in all CW Permit Types (the most obvious one, of course, being Permit Type), and only some fields that this municipality has elected to set up for all Other Permits (e.g. Application Submitted Date). 

Most of the fields on this screen are self-explanatory. The Temporary Entrance field ❶ is unlikely to appear in any other Other Permit type. You would set it to Yes   only if this was if the permit was for a temporary entrance. All the other fields on any one of your Other Permits should be known to you, or, if unusual or uncustomary, they should be separately documented by the permit author who has created the permit in which they appear.

The screen is organized around a set of field groups 🅰. each group containing a set of related fields. You can click on  + Attach Work Field  ❷ within a group to add a new field. Fields, such as "Describe Nature of the Business" and "Business Licence number" can be removed by clicking on the  X  ❸ next to them, if, for example, this permit does not apply to a commercial property. field to remove it. Click on  + Attach Work Field Group  ❹ to add a new group to the screen, where you can then add fields to it.

Click  Next  ❺.

Inspections

Different building projects will, of course, involve a different set of inspections, which is reflected on the Inspections page, whose contents are determined by the Permit Type selected in the previous (Details) page. The set of inspections here are defaults set up by your Permitting administration. However, any one of the inspections in the list can be removed ❶ and additional inspections added ❷. This, then, is the Inspections screen associated with the "Deck Building" permit type:

To add an Inspection:

1. Click on  + Attach Inspection Type  ❷. The Select Inspection Type dialog box appears:
   
2. Check ✅ ❸ all the inspection type to be added.
3. Click  Add Selected Item/s  ❸.

(See Fees for details.)

Any of the fees on the screen can be edited by by clicking on the Edit  icon ❹, which allows you to either overwrite the Quantity 🅰 (and have the total recalculated if it was based on a calculation) or the Total Fee 🅱 (which allows for a new fee to overwrite the original fee even if it was based on a calculation):

3. Select the GL Code (optional) that the Fee/Credit amount will be written to. GL Codes are maintained in the General Ledger Codes. 

   It is important to select the correct GL Code here in all cases, in that the fees can be exported through the GL Code Report and then imported  into your accounting system. Entering the incorrect GL account code here may, when imported into your accounting system, create distortions there.

4. Enter the Fee/Credit Amount.

5. Click  Add  ❺.

Comments/Files

This is where you can add Internal Comments, which may be helpful or informative for anyone within your office having to review this permit. "Internal" means that it will not be visible to permit applicants and other contact in, say, the Citywide Portal.

Individual building permits are accessible by clicking on the link ❶ in the Permit # column that corresponds to the permit to be accessed.

In the above example, the Status ❼ of the Permit is "Application Submitted," for which three possible next-step actions are possible: Application Complete, Application Incomplete, or Decline Application. Once the application is completed, the next status actions are Review Deficiency or Approve Application. Any deficiencies need to be resolved before the application can be approved. If the Status of the Permit were "Approved," the next-step action items would be Issue Permit, Awaiting Customer and Decline Application. Awaiting Customer status indicates that there are outstanding items required by the customer to continue the application (ie. payment or documentation still required). Or, where the Status is "Permit Issued," the next-step action items would be Revoke Permit, and Cancel Permit. If the Status of the Permit was 'Permit Closed', the next step action item would be Reopen Permit.

Reviews

Reviews constitute a checklist of mandatory action items (tasks) associated with various permits, each of which must be checked ✅ before the associated permit can be issued. The tasks that constitute each of the reviews will depend on the building project type. Here, for this Desk Building permit, for example, there are two reviews with a total of three tasks.

The reviews and the tasks within them are arranged in a logical sequence in which their execution proceeds from top to bottom. The Review has been approved by ❶ user "supportbbi" on the indicated date and time ❷. The "Is Culvert Required" review task has yet to be reviewed.
