Track a permit

What does this do for me?

A permit record connects a permit or license to an entity and, optionally, one of its locations. You can store its status, identifying number, dates, renewal frequency, and operational notes.

Add a permit

  1. Open Permits in the main application.
  2. Select Add Permit. This action is shown only to users with permit write access.
  3. Choose the entity. Choose a location if the permit applies to a specific location; otherwise leave the location unset.
  4. Choose a permit type. If you choose Other, enter a custom type label.
  5. Add the license number and choose the current status.
  6. Add issue, effective, and expiration dates as available.
  7. Choose a renewal frequency if one applies.
  8. Mark whether a bond or insurance is required, and add notes if useful.
  9. Select Create.

Find or update a permit

The Permits page can search permit records, filter by status or entity, search by entity name, and group results by entity. Select a permit type in the list to open the edit form, change the fields, and select Update.
The API computes expiration indicators when an expiration date is provided while creating or updating a permit. Keep the expiration date current so those indicators reflect the stored date.
