Review, issue, update and end a message

Commercial · admin

A message moves through Draft, In review, Approved and Issued.

  1. The author presses Submit for review.
  2. With second-officer review on, another admin opens it and presses Approve, entering their name to print as “Approved by”, or Request changes to send it back.
  3. Press Issue + lock. The message is numbered, stamped with its issue time and becomes read-only.
  4. Download the PDF and send it through your usual channels. FlowAi does not send reports for you.
  5. When conditions change, open the issued message and press Issue an update. The update keeps the chain and its number, as in “Flood Watch #2 (update 1)”.
  6. To end a chain, start a message with a termination level (such as All Clear), choose the message it Terminates, and under In effect after this message say whether a lower level stays in effect.

An issued message can't be edited or deleted. To change one, issue an update. For a custom report, use Make a copy as a new draft.
