When a Master Specification is assigned to an internal or external location, the Child Specification is now available for the location to review and take action within the Inbound Specification Requests tab. The child specifications for individual locations are mirrors of each other, they share the same history and status. Community owners can see how a location responds on the Location Assignments and Responses tab.
Review Specification
- The user assigned to the location will receive an email notification with a link prompting them to review the specification.
- The assigned specification is available for locations under the tab Inbound Specification Requests. Click Review Specification on the email, they will be routed to the specification where they will review and take action.
- There are several Actions that can be completed:

- Request Variance: Internal and external Locations can now request a variance from the Community Owner. In the specification template, Community Owners can define which attributes are eligible for variance requests. Locations can then edit fields where a Variance Request is allowed and resubmit for Acceptance by the Community Owner. To learn more about this feature, click here.
