Projects and workflow
Sign off and reopen a project
An engineer signs off when the records are final. Sign-off locks the project. Only an engineer or admin can reopen it, with a reason.
On this page
Only an engineer or admin can sign off or reopen.
Sign off
- The project must be in Review. See The project workflow.
- Set the site class first if you have one. See Who sets the site class.
- Press Sign off.
- The box shows the name on the stamp, the date and the version. If the project has no site class, it warns you.
- Press Sign off and lock.
After sign-off the step is Signed off. The PDFs carry the sign-off stamp. Nobody can change the project, its boreholes, samples or lab results.
Reopen
- Press Reopen.
- Write the reason. It must be at least 10 characters.
- Press Reopen project.
The project goes back to work. The next sign-off gets a higher version number on the stamp. The reason is kept in the audit log.
Why it locks
A signed record must not change quietly. If a number must change, an engineer reopens the project, and the reason and the new version show who did it and when.
