Did you know that you can retain document versions in eRPM?
To upload a new version of a previously posted document, attach the new version on the same row as the original, instead of on the blank row. The system posts the revised document as a new version, displays the "Last Uploaded" date, and provides access to past versions through a hyperlink on the version number.
For details, refer to the Working with Documents procedure.
This message provides a recommendation when using the Post a Comment activity.
When sending an email alert for a posted comment to a DRDA Project Representative, please also select one or more DRDA Staff to receive the email. This ensures that the PAF comment will be reviewed by DRDA in cases of project representative unavailability.
This message summarizes the differences between the Post a Comment vs. Project Team Request DRDA Action activities.
The Post a Comment activity:
Is available on a PAF in any state
Displays a comment for anyone with access to the PAF to view
Can send an email notification to the project team and/or DRDA (NOTE: only if an email recipient is selected)

The Project Team Request DRDA Action activity:
Is only available on the PAF after the PAF is routed to DRDA for review
Moves the PAF to the DRDA Project Representatives (PR) Inbox
Does not generate an email notification
For details on the Post a Comment activity, refer to the Post a Comment step-by-step procedure.
