Submitting for approval

SUPERINTENDENT

Single

From any draft row:

1. Verify the data once more (ALL CAPS for UCS / makers / models, no M/V prefix on vessel names)
2. Submit for approval button
3. The row flips to pending_approval

Batch

Drafts → Filter to your username + entity type → tick rows → Submit selected. Useful when you've added a full set of spare-part rows for a single component or a fleet of ~30 cert renewals.

After submitting

• Out of your reach until the supervisor or administrator decides
• You receive a messenger thread on approve OR reject
• Reject → status returns to draft with the reason text — edit and resubmit
• Approve → live in PMS

Tips

• Group same-kind drafts together — supervisors can batch-approve them
• Attach evidence (source-doc) where possible — approval is much faster
• Use the messenger to flag urgent drafts: @<supervisor-username> plus a short context line
