Checking the status of an endorsement

You can click the Check Status button in the Endorsement InfoViewer's toolbar to run a status check on the current endorsement. Status checks test whether the endorsement can advance from one milestone to another based on criteria such as whether inspections or reviews have been completed, or whether fees are paid.

When you check the status of an endorsement, the results are displayed in the Endorsement Status dialog box. This dialog box shows each status check for the current milestone, and indicates whether it was successful. The status checks are displayed in one or more grids depending on the status check types, such as an Inspections grid, a Reviews grid, and a Fees grid. Some grids include a Show button that you can click to view a list of specific records affecting the status check, such as a list of fees for a fee check. By default only unsatisfied items are displayed. You can select the Show All Checks check box to show completed items as well, such as paid fees in addition to unpaid fees.
