The authority to proceed register (ATP register) is used to record requests to third parties for inspections and approvals - generally in accordance with contract requirements. As well as providing a platform for formalizing the approval process, it also provides a way of proving the timing of requests which can be important when notification periods are required (and enforced) by the client. If your project is proceeding in a cooperative manner then this functionality of civil pro may not be required.
The ATP register is accessed from the main menu and consists of the main grid, related items panel and detail panel. New ATPs are created using the ATP wizard - accessed from the "new ATP" button in the bottom left of the page. Changing the selected item in the ATP register will change the list of related items and the information in the detail panel. To see the ATP detail page (hidden by default) double click on an ATP or select the "show ATP detail" option from the context menu (right click the grid).
