Approved Status Views

Sequences are added to a lifecycle and dispatched to a regulatory agency for approval based on your organization's and the agency's internal procedures.

Each sequence is associated with an event and each event may have multiple sequences associated with it. An event enables you to track the submission approval process.

In this capacity, an event is a grouping of sequences under one business objective, for example, an initial filing. As you submit sequences, they are added to the Submitted Views tab on the Home page and the Application Attributes page.

Sequences can be approved by the agency in a different order from which you submitted them. After the agency approves the submitted sequences, you can approve the associated event by adding it to the approved view.
Note: Approved status views are available to RDA module licensed users only.

The submission process can be illustrated as follows:
