When you first add a requirement to an individual's profile, the system defaults the status to Not Started.  As you receive updates (for example, information from background checks and training providers) that affect the status of a requirement, use the instructions in this article to update your records accordingly. The best way to ensure that your organization is using SEP most effectively is to take a proactive approach and record the current status of requirements as individuals progress through the process of completing them.

Note: If you need to update the status of the same requirement in multiple records, we recommend using the bulk update process to speed data entry. For instructions, go to Bulk Update Requirements.

Important: You must have Individual Requirements + View Detail + Modify permissions to add requirements to records.

To update the status of a requirement, do the following:

1. On the Home page, click the Individuals tile to open the Individuals page.
2. The page opens in grid view. To view the page in card view, click .
3. Find the individual whose screening requirement you want to update.
4. Click an individual's name link to open their record.
5. Scroll down to the Requirements panel.
6. In the left panel, select the requirement whose status you want to update.
7. In the right panel, select the new status from the Status dropdown list.
   • The options in the Status dropdown list enable you to track the progress of a requirement from Not Started to Completed. Depending on your organization's policies and procedures, you may choose to use all or only some of the options in this list to track requirements. For descriptions of the Status options, go to Fields on the Requirements Panel.
