Currently, when a sign-off personnel rejects a safety report, there is no notification to the investigators that this has been rejected. Currently we have to manually check reports with the review status and reopen the investigation.
I understand there is a code change that would be required by the developers for this.
Agree entirely, without notification or visible indication a sign-off is rejected reports can remain in Review status without investigators being aware until the sign-off page is revisited. I have found that the majority of rejected reports are due to personnel forgetting to check the 'approved' checkbox, who then don't bother revisiting the report as they think they have already approved it.
At the very least an email notification should be generated to the investigation Forum members, ideally the 'Review' status would also change in the report register to 'Rejected' so it is clearly identifiable.
