DOCLINE -- Routing Table Changes

Question: What happens when I make changes to my Routing Table?
Answer:

You may make changes to your routing table over a period of time without submitting them to your RML by clicking on the Save button on the "Routing Table" screen.

When you are ready to submit your routing table changes to your RML, click on the Request Approval button. A message will be sent to your RML saying that your routing table needs to be approved. The message "Routing table is awaiting approval" will appear among your DOCLINE messages until the RML approves the changes.

Routing Table changes do not take effect until your RML approves them. Approval of a revised routing table may take a few days. The RML will contact your institution if there is a problem with the proposed changes. Please contact your RML if you have a question about the status of the proposed changes to your routing table.
