Submit a Pre-Approval Request (opens in a new tab)
A pre-approval request allows you to submit a request to participate in certain activities, which is then reviewed before making a determination. You can only select one activity in a pre-approval request. If you have more than one activity that you need to request permission for, submit a pre-approval request for each activity.
To create a pre-approval request
From the disclosure profile workspace, click Request Pre-Approval.
Enter a name for this pre-approval request.
Select the type of pre-approval request that you want to submit. The type of request that you select here drives the questions that you have to complete for this pre-approval request. Click Continue to move to the next page.
Note: You can only select one type of request at a time. If you need to submit requests for more than one type, complete the details of the first type and then create additional requests.
