Viewing Business Application Information

You review information captured during the application intake that is specific to the business license application type on the Application Details page. Agency staff with appropriate permissions can update the details captured from the application.

When an agency designs the intake form for a specific type of business license application, they use elements that capture the information necessary for evaluating adherence to business license requirements. For example, for a restaurant application, the application details might include data about fire safety, seating capacity, site use, and parking. The application details might also include requirements for application submittal.

Updating Application Details

The fields available to update depend on the fields added when the intake form was designed.

1. Select Business License Transactions on the Agency Springboard.

2. Click the row for a consultation or business license application on the Transactions page.

3. On the Overview page, expand the Consultation Information or License Information navigation menu item in the left pane.

4. Click the Application Details link.

5. On the application details page, click the Edit button for the section you want to edit.

   For example, if the agency has enabled, applicants have the option of submitting their license application or amendment application with a proposed effective date that is in the future.

   The assigned specialist can decide the date that the business can start, using these fields:

   Page Element	Description
   Proposed Effective Date	View the proposed date of starting the business or the effective date of the amendment as entered by the applicant.
   Approved Effective Date	Enter the date from which the business license will be active, or the amendment becomes effective. This date will override the date proposed by the applicant. Note: If you leave the field blank, the approved effective date will be updated as the proposed effective date entered by the applicant.

   See the details in the section Applying for Future Dated Business Commencement in the topic Completing an Application.

   Additionally, applicants and agency staff have the option of submitting their amendment application with an option to reactivate an inactive license.

   The assigned specialist reviews the application and decides the date that the business license can change to active status:

   Page Element	Description
   Reactivate License	Review the option enabled by the applicant. You can turn off the check box if you want to complete the amendment without reactivating.
   Proposed Effective Date	Displays the proposed date from which the business license will be active—entered by the applicant. If the applicant leaves this field blank, the date on which the amendment application is approved will be the effective date of license reactivation.
   Approved Effective Date	Enter the date from which the business license status will change to Active. This field is available only to agency staff. If you leave the field blank, the proposed effective date will be applied as the approved effective date. Expiration date calculations are determined based on the approved effective date.

   See the section Reactivating Licenses under Inactivating Business Licenses.
