Requirement Overview

Requirements can be attached to an activity to set conditions around when the activity may process. When an activity with requirements is attached to a policy and processed, but the conditions are not met, then a requirement icon will appear next to that activity on the Activity screen. Clicking the requirement icon will bring up the Requirement window, where the options for managing the requirement can be accessed.

Requirement Window

When the Requirement window opens, a description of the requirement is given, along with several options for managing the requirement. Right-clicking on the requirement will reveal the Requirement right-click options.

Requirement Detail: Click this option to reveal the details of the requirement.
Delete: Click this option to remove the requirement without deleting the activity itself. The requirement status will change to deleted, and the requirement will be removed from the Requirement screen. When the activity is reprocessed, the deleted requirement will come back unless configuration indicates that the deleted requirement should remain deleted.

Satisfying Requirements

When an activity appears on the Activity screen with a requirement icon, there are two methods for handling that requirement. Click the requirement icon to open the Requirement window. The requirement description will be listed along with several date fields and a Waived checkbox.

The activity will only process once all requirements are met. The effective date of the requirement will be the latest date on the collective requirements for a given activity.

Waived Checkbox: If this box is checked, then the Close Date field will be automatically populated with the system date. The requirement will be closed. If the activity is processed, a new requirement will be added to the Requirement screen and the original requirement that was waived will be greyed out and listed at the top. The activity will not process until the requirement is satisfied.
Close Date: When a date is entered in this field, then the requirement will be satisfied. Clicking the lightning bolt icon will change the activity status from Requirements Pending to Pending. Click the lightning bolt icon a second time to process the activity. It should change to Active status.

Activities will retain the requirement icon even after the requirements have been satisfied and the activity successfully processes.
