The Staging tab is the first tab in the Actions interface, and it is the landing page for all submitted changes to the Active STIP/TIP. To process changes through the Staging workflow, users must have the System Administrator role, TIP Coordinator role, or Staging permission assigned; otherwise, these fields will be view-only.
Projects
All projects listed here will be in the typical format (Project Header and Project Change Table) as outlined in the Project Listing article. To filter the displayed projects, the user can utilize the "Filter By" picklist in the upper lefthand corner of the tab. The available filters here are Show All (default), Project ID, County, District, or MPO. Alternatively, the user can select the desired projects' checkboxes in their Project Header, then click the "Show Selected" button to filter the list. This button will update to read "Show All" which will revert the tab to show all Projects once more.
Other Controls
Beyond the listed projects and filters, there are some other controls listed on the Staging tab which help the user specify actions for pending projects. The table below describes these controls.
| Control | Location | Description |
| Bulk Action (picklist) | Top Right of Tab | Bulk-updates the "Action" picklist for all displayed projects where its Action selection is currently blank. This picklist will only update the pending changes that correspond to the Action selected. |
| Submit for Approval (button) | Bottom Right of Tab | Processes all project changes with an Action of "Submit for Approval". This button will only appear if this action type has been selected for at least one pro |
| Save (button) | Bottom Right of Tab | Saves any updates made on the Staging tab. |
| Cancel (button) | Bottom Right of Tab | Discards any updates made to the Staging tab. |
Actions in Staging Tab
The user can process pending changes on the Staging tab using the individual "Action" or "Bulk Action" picklist. By default, the Action value is blank and highlighted in yellow. The user can update this field with one of these actions:
| Action | Description |
| Accept for Approval | Allows the user to approve an Administrative Modification or Technical Correction (change). These events will occur upon save:
|
| Submit for Approval | Prepares the Amendment (change) to be submitted to the Pre-Approved tab for assignment to a STIP/TIP Revision. |
| Withdraw | Returns the pending change to an unsubmitted state and sends a notification email to the user listed in the Updated By field, listing the project and change information being withdrawn. |
If a change was rejected in the Pre-Approved tab, it will return to the Staging tab and display an action of "Rejected". This is simply an indicator of where the change returned from; the "Action" field can be updated to one of the above options to process the change accordingly.
To process Amendments through the approval workflow, the user must choose "Submit for Approval" in the Action field. Then, the "Submit for Approval" button will appear. Once clicked, the changes will be removed from the Staging tab and placed on the Pre-Approved tab.
