Step 1.Review Comments

• Once you are on the record’s summary page, you will see a link for the Plan Room if you are associated with that record.
• Select either "Issues" or "Conditions"
• The “Attached To” column displays what page or document a comment is attached to (if any).
• Click on a comment that is attached to a sheet or document and it will open that sheet or document with the comment displayed in the same window. If the comment is not attached to a page or document, a general pop-up will display with the comment in the same window when it is opened.
• Filter your comments between "status" and "discipline" by clicking the Filter dropdown in the top-right hand corner.

Step 3.Respond to Comments

Navigate back to the "Plan Room Issues" page to view a list of the issues on a record. All issues that require attention should be in “Open” status.

• Type a response to the issue in the section labeled Applicants Response. Please provide any details important to resolving the issue to help facilitate the review process then click Save.
