2.2 User Workflow

This section explains the workflow of OFS CRR goAML STR for Analyst and Supervisor roles.

When a report is created in the OFS CRR goAML STR application through the OFS ECM application, the report details are auto-populated with information from the case that triggered the action to generate the report. Users mapped to the role of Analyst can update a report that is in Open status and request the report’s details for approval. During the edit and review process, the report is available to be viewed as a draft report.

A Supervisor can approve, rework, or cancel the filing of reports after the Analyst requests for approval. Supervisors can also edit report details and approve reports directly, if required.

If the report is approved by the Supervisor, the Regulatory Reporting application generates the report in the final XML format after all the necessary validations. The report is then manually submitted to the Regulator. The submission to the Regulator occurs outside the OFS CRR goAML STR application. The report status can then be marked as Submitted in the OFS CRR goAML STR application.

If required, the Supervisor can send the reports for rework when the report is in Request for Approval status. The Analyst must then rework and re-submit the report for approval. This process continues until the report is approved or canceled.

Authorized users can reopen the canceled reports. The report status then changes to Reopened.

For the complete list of actions the Analyst, Auditor, or Supervisor can perform on various report statuses, see . For more information on user roles, see Table 2-1 .

A Report has a life cycle that begins with the Open status and ends when it is in the Submitted status. If the report is already opened by another user, then that report is locked and can only be viewed lists the actions that can be performed in various statuses by users.
