Create a Certificate

Prev Next

The Asset Management, Permitting, Projects, and Fire and Safety Inspection modules let all users add and view certificates in the system.

Important Notes:

  • The system will show a warning if a user tries to create a certificate on a permit record without a final inspection in pass status. The inspection must be created and marked as passed. However, the user can choose to override this process:A warning message about creating a certificate for an unapproved application.

  • The data displayed will vary from module to module. Learn more about Records Lists.
