Lodging and reviewing documents

download Download PDF

Go to Documents and press Lodge document. You can also lodge one straight from a card on a tribe profile, which fills in the tribe and the document type for you.

What it asks for

FieldNotes
Document typeOnly active types are listed.
Tribe or franchiseeWhich options appear depends on what the type is about.
FileA PDF or a photograph of the certificate.
TitleOptional. Leave it blank and it takes the document type name.
Issued and ExpiresExpiry types. The expiry date drives every reminder and the red state later.
PeriodPeriod types. Written as 2026-07 for a month, 2026-Q3 for a quarter, or 2026 for a year.
NotesAnything the reviewer should know.

The five states

StateWhat it means
Awaiting reviewLodged, waiting on an advisor. It does not yet satisfy the requirement.
CurrentApproved and in date. This is the only state that counts as satisfied.
RejectedTurned down, with a reason the tribe can see.
ExpiredWas current, and the expiry date has passed.
SupersededReplaced by a newer approved document of the same type.

Reviewing

Documents waiting on you show as Awaiting review. Use the download icon to read the file, then the tick to approve or the cross to reject.

Rejecting asks for a reason, and that reason is shown to the tribe. "Wrong entity name on the policy" tells them what to do; a rejection with no reason produces the same wrong document again.

APPROVING RETIRES THE OLD ONE
When you approve a document, the previous current one of the same type for that tribe becomes Superseded automatically. There is only ever one current certificate, and the old ones stay readable underneath it.

Types that need no review

If the document type has An advisor reviews it turned off, the document is Current the moment it is lodged. Use that for low-risk paperwork where the review step would only be a rubber stamp.

Replacing one that is wrong

There is no delete button on a lodged document. If the wrong file went up, or the expiry date is wrong, lodge the correct one against the same type and approve it — approving supersedes the previous one, so the right document becomes current and the wrong one drops underneath it. Reject the wrong one first if it is still awaiting review, with a note saying why.

DOCUMENTS ARE EVIDENCE, SO THEY ARE NEVER DESTROYED
Being able to show what was current on a given day is the whole point of holding them, which is why the module supersedes rather than deletes.
