Accessing and Using the Worklist

Select Worklist on the Permitting and Licensing home page. If you have access to multiple worklists, the Common Worklist page opens. On the Common Worklist page, select Code Enforcement from the offerings drop-down list.

Common grid controls in Oracle Permitting and Licensing enable public and agency users to perform actions and manage how they display data. For details on the grid controls available in the Worklist, see Using Grids and Personalizing Grid Displays.

All Inspections, Incidents, Notices, Hearings, and Access Requests

A code technician can view a list of all their assignments together with the assignments in the issue type or subtype that they are assigned to. All assignments – inspections, incidents, notices, hearings, and access requests – can be viewed in separate tabs with their associated filters. Each tab displays the count of assignment records listed on the page, based on the application of any filters.

Note:

By default, the worklist search is filtered to records assigned to the signed-in code technician by automatically applying the corresponding technician filter chip. Administrators and Supervisors are exceptions to this behavior; no technician filter chip is applied for these roles by default, allowing them to view all records in the worklist.
