I'm hitting the big green button for my project's Construction Preliminary Review.
I am met with a scorecard's worth of checkboxes, asking which credit forms we would like to have reviewed at this time. Our design phase reviews went well and we have many credits that are already noted as "Approved" or "Awarded". The Construction phase credits are marked "Completed".
This is pretty unclear- no instructions are offered on which boxes to check.
Do I check all the boxes, for every credit, to indicate that we're not abandoning any credits?
Do I check the boxes only for the credits not marked "Awarded"? Or not marked "Approved"?
What is the difference between "Awarded" and "Approved"?
At least it seems obvious that I should check the boxes for the credits that are not reviewed yet, which are marked "Completed".

Just submit what you want to have reviewed at that stage. Design credits that have not changed do not have to be resubmitted.

What is the difference between credits that are marked "Approved" and "Awarded"? Do "Approved" credits require a construction phase review before they can be awarded?
I am anticipating that if we do not have too many comments, we will accept the construction preliminary review as final. So we need to finalize as many credits as possible with this review.

I don't have the submittal page in front of me but Approved should pif-s and Awarded for credits and prerequisites?
If you have a credit that has been anticipated in the design stage you do no have to resubmit those, unless you want to a new review because something changed. Project information forms will be submitted neverthess, you cannot "uncheck" those.

Adrienn, I hope you are right. I was further confused after hitting the big green button. I was auto-emailed a spreadsheet- wish I could post a screen shot. This is the text on the spreadsheet for credits that I did not check the box for review (because were awarded in design phase review):
Credit ID: SSc1. Status: Attempted (this is a credit that was AWARDED already in design phase and is unchanged) Points Attempted: 2. Submit? Not Submitted.
This leaves me in fear that they will somehow think we're withdrawing the credits that were already awarded, but not submitted in this phase. I feel like they couldn't possibly make this more unclear. No instructions provided, and the wording changes from one screen to the next.
The lack of clarity is par for the course, but the stakes feel higher when it's at the big green button moment.
