Supervising Users

• User in either the sending or receiving state designated as responsible for supervision while a case is active.  For example, when initiating a transfer, the sending state PO (or user assigned in the sending state) is also the supervising user until a Notice of Arrival is submitted by the receiving state user.  At that time, the receiving state PO (or user assigned in the receiving state) becomes the 'supervising user.'
• User errors during a Move or Merge or when submitting a subsequent transfer on a profile (activities submitted out of order) the 'supervising user' may be assigned to the wrong individual in error.  This designation can be reassigned via manage caseload just like the assigned user designation.

Note: There is no way for managed data to leave the state without Compact Office approval.
