A specific authorization is required to be able to verify operating orders. See section Internal resources. Regardless of the authorization, the operator can not approve an operating order which he or she has created.

The person that is reviewing the operating orders, uses the operating order list in the south panel and opens the operating orders that has the state Pending validation. The operating orders that has the state pending validation are locked for updates. The controller can hence not change the operating order. In case the operating order does not pass validation, the controller is recommended to write a note in the diary and must change the state to Pending amendment. Currently there is no automatic feedback when a note has been created in the diary so the author to the operating order should be notified that the operating order needs reviewing.

 

As mentioned before, when an operating order is looked at, change the state to Validating in order to prevent another person to start with the same operating order.
