Triage — Pipeline

Stale project investigation workflow

01 Your Shell

Login at entirely.it.com. Your sidebar is organized into two groups:

Group Pages Color
Triage Triage Pipeline, Triage Intake, Tracker, Archive Gold #c9a227
Reference Projects

Pipeline is your default landing page. The triage sidebar is intentionally minimal—your scope is investigation and resolution of stale projects, not day-to-day scheduling or processing.

02 Triage Pipeline

A five-column Kanban board. Projects move left to right as investigation progresses:

Column Purpose
New Recently flagged, awaiting initial review
Investigating Active investigation underway
Awaiting Documents Waiting on external information (permits, plans, client response)
Resolved Investigation complete, outcome documented
Returned Sent back to originating branch for action

Metrics Strip

A horizontal bar above the board displays five live metrics:

Metric Display
Total in triage Count of all active cards
Avg days in triage Mean investigation duration
> 30 days Red count—requires attention
> 45 days Auto-escalation threshold
Resolution rate Resolved / (Resolved + Returned) trailing 30 days
Projects enter triage when stale for more than 45 days. The Pipeline Shepherd flags them automatically at 2:15 AM ET daily.
03 Project Cards

Each card on the board represents one project under investigation. Card elements:

Element Detail
Address Site location (primary identifier)
Branch pill Branch-colored badge (Baltimore, Manassas, Richmond)
Customer # Client reference number
Days stale Count since last status change; accent color if > 45 days
Category badge CAT 1 existing project   CAT 2 new triage-only
Pipeline indicator Compact dot display of project stage
Left border Red if > 30 days in triage

Cards are draggable between columns. Drag a card from New to Investigating to begin work, or from Investigating to Resolved when finished.

04 Detail Panel

Click any card to open a 420px detail panel on the right. The panel contains:

Project Information

Full address, branch, customer number, property owner, project ID, current pipeline status. Pipeline indicator in detail mode (labeled, showing exact stage with sub-tracks).

Investigation Timeline

Chronological log of all actions taken on this triage case. Each entry shows date, author, and action. The timeline builds automatically as you work the case.

Available Actions

Action Effect
Start Investigation Moves card to Investigating, logs initiation
Request Documents Moves to Awaiting Documents, sends notification to branch
Assign to Branch Routes project to specific branch for scheduling
Resolve Close with reason: inspected, cancelled, duplicate, or other
Return to Branch Send back to originating branch with notes
Send RFI Create a Request for Information to gather missing data
Add Note Append to the investigation timeline
Category 1 projects already exist in the system and were flagged as stale. Category 2 are new submissions that bypassed normal intake—typically from JES branch referrals.
05 Triage Intake

Two tabs for adding projects to the triage pipeline:

Tab 1 — Category 1 (Existing Project)

Search existing projects by address, customer number, or permit number. Results appear as you type. Select a project and click Add to Triage to move it into the New column. A duplicate warning appears if the project is already in triage.

Tab 2 — Category 2 (New Triage Project)

New project form for submissions that have no existing record. Fields: address, branch, customer number, property owner, notes. The system auto-enriches the submission with jurisdiction data, certifier routing, required forms, guardrail indicators, and timeline estimates.

A duplicate warning box appears when the entered address closely matches an existing project. Fuzzy matching catches common variations in address formatting.

06 Projects

Read-only access to the full project list. Use this for reference when investigating a triage case—checking related projects at the same address, reviewing inspection history, or verifying customer records. Searchable by address, permit number, and customer number.
