Ready to Return
Ready to Return lists routings whose approver has answered and that wait for the return transmittal. It appears when enable_return_on_audit = 1 and the group has the ready_to_return privilege on routing. The grid is the routing grid; the tab is the queue between the approver's sign-off and the document going back to the contractor.
Toolbar: View, Refresh, Search, Return.
Return generates the return transmittal and drops the routing off this tab. It is the same action as on the Audit tab; the mechanics are documented there.
Jadestone: "Ready to Return or Publish"
Jadestone renames the tab Ready to Return or Publish and adds a Publish to Internal Document button (also on the Audit tab). Master and the other forks do not have this. It exists because Jadestone runs Internal Document projects: non-MDR projects whose documents are not returned to a contractor by transmittal but published into the Document Library. So this one tab now holds two kinds of routing:
| Routing | Outcome | Button |
|---|---|---|
| MDR document | return transmittal to the contractor | Return |
| non-MDR document, Internal Document project | published into the Document Library | Publish to Internal Document |
A routing that has neither (a non-MDR routing from a regular project) is not eligible and does not show here.
The Publish to Internal Document flow
- Select one or more routings and click Publish to Internal Document; confirm the prompt. The server builds a temporary preview (
act=publishToInternalDocTemp). - A Preview Document(s) to be Published to Internal Document window opens. You pick the target Document Library folder (
cmd=publishToInternalDocumentFolderTree) and fill the mandatory and reference columns (act=updatePublishToInternalDocTemp). - Confirm publishes them (
cmd=publishToInternalDocumentPreviewConfirm); Cancel clears the temp (act=cancelPublishToInternalDocTemp). On publish the PDF annotations are burned into the file.
Once a routing is published, its doclib_doc_no is stamped (da_doc_no for rows from the legacy ADMS flow), so it leaves Ready to Return and the dashlet count, even when the same document number is routed again later.
Key tickets: INA27-147 (publish to the Document Library, restrict the tab to eligible routings), INA27-216 (burn the annotations into the published file), INA27-87 and INA27-88 (drop published non-MDR routings from the list), INA27-184 (keep D - Transmit rejections out).
