Application Status Levels
Status levels are used to track applications within MEGS and are
applied at every step of the process.
There are two distinct status categories: Applicant and
Consultant.
Applicant status levels that are “in progress” allow the user full
access to the application. Submission will “lock” the application
to further changes.
Consultant status levels are used to show the level of review or to
return the application (e.g. Modifications Required) to the
user.
