Managing Contractor License Details

Agency staff can modify the details for an individual contractor license depending on the assigned permissions. Staff can also manage transactions, contacts, attachments, comments, and conditions.

To navigate to the contractor license details, start by accessing the Contractors list page. One way to do that is to select the Contractors tile on the Agency Springboard. Or, in the Ask Oracle search on the Oracle home, enter "Contractors for Permitting and Licensing." Select the link to open the Contractors list page.

Modifying License Details

Agency staff with a contractor duty role (PSC Contractor Master Management or PSC Contractor Master Administration) can update contractor license information, regardless of integration with an external licensing body. Only agency staff with the Administration role have the privileges needed to delete a license from the contractor records. For more information, see Security Details for Managing Contractor Information.

Here's how to modify the license information for a contractor:

  1. On the Contractors list page, select the row of the contractor license that you want to update.

  2. On the License Details page, go to the Contractor and Business section.

  3. Click the Import button to retrieve and save updated license information from an external licensing body when a license is new. Click Refresh after a license has already been saved. This action is available only when integration with the licensing body is enabled.

  4. Click the Update button to manually update the details on the Contractor and business details drawer.
