How to start Approval Process

After a Provisional Interpretation is Saved, an orange "Approve Interpretation" panel will appear above the "Saved Provisional and Approved Interpretation(s)". This panel enables a curator to begin the process of Approving the current Saved Provisional Interpretation.

If a curator navigates away from the Evaluation Summary page, when they return they will still have the option of starting the Approval process for the current Saved Provisional Interpretation. To do so they should simply click on the orange "Approve this Provisional Interpretation" button found within the current Saved Provisional Interpretation.

Saving as Approved

All Approvals are processed via the orange Approve Interpretation panel

A. ClinGen Affiliation: If the curator is curating as part of an Affiliation this field will autofill, otherwise it will be blank.

B. Entered by: After clicking "preview approval" this field will auto-fill with the name of the curator.

C. Select Approver: Approver(s) identified by the Affiliation will be listed in the pull-down. An approver must be selected to proceed.

D. Final Approval Date: By default, this populates with the current date. A curator can optionally enter a PAST date from the calendar. Note: Dates in the future should never be selected!

E. Approver Comments: Optional field for capturing additional notes about the approval process.

F. Preview Approval: Click to initiate the process to Approve the Interpretation.

Approval Preview

Once an Interpretation has been Saved as Approved this action cannot be undone.

In Preview mode the curator has three options:

  1. Cancel Approval - this cancels the Saving as Approved process

  2. Edit - this allows the curator to go back and correct any errors (e.g. in the Additional Comments)

  3. Submit Approval - this will permanently Save the current Interpretation as an Approved Interpretation

New Saved Approved Interpretation

After clicking Submit Approval, the new Approved Interpretation will appear at the top of the "Saved Provisional and Approved Interpretation(s)". The current Saved Approved Interpretation will always be marked with a green flag. Older Approved Interpretations are noted by a grey archive box.

The curator will also be presented with publishing options (see Publishing from the VCI)
