7.1.2. Review BIA

Once the Complete BIA form has been submitted, it will be sent back to the requestor for review and approval. The requestor will receive a notification in their Pending Tasks informing them that they need to review the BIA.

They will also receive an email informing them that they have received a new task.

Clicking either on the subject in Pending Tasks or the link in the email should direct the assignee to the Review BIA form. This form is largely a duplicate of the Complete BIA form, with the exception being that most of the fields are disabled. Users are allowed, however, to perform Excel-related activities (i.e., export, import, and create an Excel template) as well as add, edit, and reply to comments. Listed below are the two other primary differences between the forms:

1. Summary Tab

Although the final tab in the Complete BIA form is the Disaster Impact tab, in the Review BIA form, the final tab is the Summary tab. This tab displays a summary of the scores accumulated in the previous sections. For details on this scoring system, click here.

• Comment: This is a description box that allows users to input their comment. In this field users can insert headings, bullets, images, tables, links, and media files (as well as change font colors, font sizes, background colors and more).
• Reject/Approved: These buttons will be explained below.

2. Reject or Approve

At the bottom of the Review BIA form, there are the two following buttons:

• Reject: This button allows users to reject the BIA.
  • If selected, the assigned user will be tasked with modifying the BIA.
• Approved: This button allows users to approve the BIA.
  • If selected, the BIA workflow will end.
