Prevent Application Submission

Agencies can now configure a Business Rules Framework event to automatically stop the new application submission and display a message describing the reason for stopping the process.

Administrators configure stop process actions in the Business Rules Framework. Use the following events to set up the business rule for the applicable offering:

• Before Business License Application Submitted
• Before Permit Application Submitted
• Before Planning and Zoning Application Submitted

This example illustrates the Stop Process action message in the Business Rules Framework when configuring the Before Business License Application Submitted event:

For example, an agency can block the submission of a business license application if the provided address or parcel falls within a district or zone where that particular type of business is prohibited.

Tips And Considerations

• The new events are accessible and you should ensure that the corresponding business rules and criteria are properly configured to support this automation.

• The applicant can still save the application in order to contact the agency to find out what changes are needed.
