My Applications Work Queue

A new work queue section has been added to group permits that have been Returned for Revisions.  Authorized users (Receivers) are able to access and manage the listed permits from this work queue section. The Returned for Revisions section lists permits that the Receiver themselves returned.  The Receiver will not see returned items created by other Receivers.  The items will stay in the queue until an action is taken that removes the application from the Returned for Revisions status.
