When a new assignment request is created and saved into the database, a request number will be generated and the status of the assignment will be set to Work in Progress. The assignment request is only visible to the Creator role. Once the Creator is satisfied, he can proceed to request for reviewer approval. The program validates the request and if there are no client errors, the status is changed to Reviewer Approval

When an assignment request requires a reviewer approval, the Reviewer will retrieve and approve the request. The program validates the request and if there are no client errors, the status is changed to Ready for Concurrence.
In some instances when a Reviewer is also a Concurrer, the status will change to Concurrence. As soon as the status is changed to Concurrence; ETS will automatically send an e-mail to the external Concurrer (assignee) indicating the request number of the assignment and concurrence is required. Interest will be locked at this point.

When an assignment request has been approved by SRD, a Memorandum of Registration (MOR) is created and is made available to the client(s) involved. The MOR document is generated in both PDF and XML formats. You may want to save a copy of the PDF or XML file to your preferred location.
Once approved, the status of an assignment request will show Completed. Otherwise, the status will indicate that the request is Rejected.
