SEA TNG CAF Walkthrough

Practice the complete Construction Advisory Form process in POSBox: submit, triage, coordinate, schedule, and complete.

Use this guide only in POSBox. These links open the TNG Request Management experience in the sandbox. The current 1GP CAF remains the operating process until SEA completes testing and signs off.
Submitter

1. Submit a Construction CAF

Start on the public TNG Request Submission page. You do not need to open Salesforce first.

Open TNG Request Submission

  1. Select Construction. Confirm that the page says Request Submission and that the URL ends in /submit-request.
  2. Describe the work clearly. Enter the project, location, affected operations, and points of contact a reviewer will need. Use 00 Citiri Training Project for the walkthrough.
  3. Build the schedule. For repeating work, check every generated date in the preview. Treat overlap messages as coordination warnings; they should not block submission.
  4. Add supporting files. Upload drawings, traffic plans, or safety documents needed for review. Keep each file within the portal's 5 MB limit.
  5. Review and submit. Save the new SR number and SEA CAF number from the confirmation. The submitter should receive a received notice now and one final approve/reject notice later—not an email for every internal status change.
Coordinator

2. Triage the CAF in Request Command Center

Open the Command Center inside the namespaced CitiriOS RM TNG app. Its KPI cards describe the whole queue and do not change with every list filter.

Open Request Command Center

  1. Find the new request. Search by SR number, SEA CAF number, project, or submitter. Start with Submitted and In Review work.
  2. Read the intake summary. Confirm project, requested dates, location, and impact before changing its lifecycle.
  3. Check routing. SEA normally coordinates ORAT review first and Construction Management review second.
  4. Open the record. Use Open Record rather than stopping in the flyout. The Stakeholder Request record contains the full Work this CAF experience.
Coordinator queue

3. Use the Open SEA CAFs list

The list is the closest TNG equivalent to the familiar open-CAF queue in 1GP. It opens inside CitiriOS RM and leads to the same activated Stakeholder Request page as Command Center.

Open the Open SEA CAFs list

  1. Sort or scan for the SEA CAF number, project, status, and upcoming work dates.
  2. Open Submitted records for intake checks and In Review records for coordinated decisions.
  3. Confirm the page displays CAF workflow and the Work this CAF panel. If it does not, verify that you are still in CitiriOS RM.

4. Coordinate and complete the request

The local panel keeps the two familiar 1GP jobs on one parent record: Update & Review, then Modify & Schedule.

1. Update & Review

  1. Verify intake. Confirm Project, CAF number, contractor contacts, Port CM, and Port Inspector. Attach any missing review files.
  2. Begin review. The Submit action appears only for a Draft. Review appears while the CAF is Submitted or In Review.
  3. Coordinate decisions. Keep the CAF In Review while ORAT and Construction Management are deciding. Record final requirements in Approval Conditions. SEA does not use Conditional Approval or Return.

2. Modify & Schedule

  1. Update the work package, additional location, and affected operations when scope changes.
  2. Select each affected occurrence. Change its start, end, or status, click Save occurrence, and repeat for every changed date.
  3. Expand All request schedules when you need coordinator-wide context. Use the occurrence editor—not the global timeline—to save this CAF.
  4. If dates or scope change after approval, return to Update & Review and move the CAF back to Submitted for a fresh review.

Final decision and closeout

  1. Confirm required reviews, approval conditions, files, and every occurrence are complete.
  2. Use Approve Request only while the CAF is In Review. The action is hidden in other states to reduce accidental transitions.
  3. Confirm the submitter receives the final decision notice. In Progress and Completed then follow the actual work dates.
Complete when: intake is accurate, reviews are resolved, conditions are recorded, all occurrences match the approved work, the final decision is communicated, and the request reaches its date-driven completion state.
