Accela Conditions API

**Conditions** The system provides standard conditions for different record types(permits, licenses, inspections, and so forth). Depending on the condition, condition violations result in one of the following automatic settings to be applied to the inspections: - **Lock** : Prevents almost any operation, except operations that result in removal of the lock, from occurring. - **Hold** : Restricts the addition of an activity and editing of components. - **Notice** : Indicates special instructions to the person that completes the application. The system displays a message when you open the application or any component associated with the application. This condition does not impede record processing. - **Required** : Indicates that you must complete a specified activity or field before proceeding to the next step in a workflow. **Example Use Case** A drainage study must occur prior to approval of a building permit for new development. In this example, the drainage study requirement comprises the standard condition.You create the standard condition, name it D01 Drainage Study, and associate it with the Building/Building Permit/Drainage/Grading record type. When a user creates a new permit application of the Building/Building Permit/Drainage/Grading record type, the D01 Drainage Study condition applies to the new application record. The system uses conditions at the record level and record component level.Any condition you place on a component, such as a record address, parcel, owner, licensed professional, contact, structure, establishment, or asset, affects any record that references the component. **Conditions of Approval** Conditions of approval consist of a list of predefined requirements that must be met in order to receive approval for an inspection.
