  • ACCESS MODULE - Bug fix on Consent status when re-generate consent (User: Road Manager)

    An issue was reported last week when re-generating consents after a road or route has been updated during the approvals process. In some cases the NHVR Portal was automatically sending the applications to the NHVR instead of the Road Manager and assigning the incorrect status to the case. These cases have been identified and the issue is resolved by the technical update in this release.
