Possible communication • Ability to allow the regulatory authority to associate a file to an submission group (reviewable unit) and zero to many submissions. This document should be one of many types (e.g., an approval letter). • Ability to allow the regulatory authority to comments/questions to specific files or logical documents. • Ability to allow the regulatory authority to update status of submission (on hold, approved, clock status). • Ability to allow the regulatory authority to update the submission type and submission group identifier. • There is a need to keep a communication thread.
