14. Submission of report

Overall, the MEL IA Reporting platform includes four user types and different workflows designed for these users. The form consists of three sections. The first and second sections do not have any workflows, while the third section consists of two sub-sections with different workflows. An item to be added to sub-section 3.1 can be identified with three types: LEA, RUA and IP Application. Once an item is created in sub-section 3.1, this will create an entry in sub-section 3.2.

Center IP Focal Point fills the form and submits it to SMO User. The SMOs have the access to review the report. After reviewing the elements reported in Section 3, SMO decides to send the item to the ABS Reviewer, SCIPG Reviewer or SMO can send the submission back to Center IP Focal Point for improvement. When SMO submits the items as “Final”, this finishes the workflow of the elements reported in section 3.

At the end of the form, there is a button to submit the whole report as final, as a responsibility of SMO. After the report was submitted as final, the users can view the details without making modifications.
