VSTS guidance
Help
This demo walks one export certificate from request to issued PDF. Everything in it is synthetic.
Who does what
Each role owns one part of the certificate's journey.
Exporter
Starts a request, adds the animals, submits it, fixes it if it is returned, and downloads the issued certificate.
Veterinarian
Inspects the animals, records the required tests, and completes the inspection with an attestation. Use "Save progress" when the connection is poor.
VS Reviewer
Endorses the request, or returns it with the sections to fix and a reason.
Admin
Onboards certificate templates and retries certificate generation if it failed.
What the statuses mean
Each status is shown with a symbol and words, never color alone.
- Draft
- Saved, not yet submitted.
- With the vet
- Submitted; the assigned veterinarian inspects next.
- With VS review
- Inspected; a reviewer decides next.
- Returned for changes
- The reviewer asked the exporter to correct one or more sections.
- Generating certificate
- Endorsed; the PDF is being produced.
- Certificate generation failed
- The PDF could not be produced; an admin can retry certificate generation.
- Certificate issued
- Ready to download.
- Withdrawn
- Stopped by the exporter.
If the connection drops
Buttons show "Submitting…" while a form is sent, so a second tap can't send it twice. Each form carries a one-time key: if a send is retried, the service recognizes it. If a page never comes back, reload it; what you typed is restored on this device where possible.
Live updates
A request's page tells you when someone else changes it. If it says "Live updates paused", reload the page to see the latest.
