 New  Check  Errors  Feature  Available  for  the  Universal  Licensing  System 
 A  new  “Check  Errors”  editing  feature  allows  applicants  to  the  Universal  Licensing  System  (ULS)  to  verify  that  all  data  on  ULS  applications  are  complete  and  correctly  entered  prior  to 
 submitting  the  applications  to  the  Commission.  Applicants  may  also  save  applications  as  “Incomplete”  and  return  to  them  at  any  time  to  add  or  change  data.  At  the  end  of  a  short 
 transition  period,  applicants  will  no  longer  be  permitted  to  edit  “Completed”  applications  after  submission. 


 Check  Errors  Before  Submitting  an  Application  ULS  applicants  may  now  click  the  Check  Errors  button,  conveniently  located  at  the  bottom 
 of  each  tab  page  of  ULS  online  filing,  to  validate  that  the  entire  application  is  complete  and  correctly  formatted  prior  to  submitting  the  application  to  the  Commission.  (Previously,  this 
 error  check  was  only  performed  by  clicking  the  Submit  button  on  the  final  pages  of  the  application.)  Check  Errors  will  verify  that  all  required  fields  have  been  completed;  check 
 that  all  dates,  email  addresses,  and  alpha-  numeric  information  has  been  entered  correctly;  and  identify  other  information  that  might  cause  the  application  to  be  returned  or  dismissed  for 
 incomplete  or  incorrectly  entered  responses.  Errors  will  be  displayed  in  a  new  window.  Click  the  Return  button  in  the  error  window  to  return  to  the  application  to  make  corrections.  Use 
 Check  Errors  as  often  as  necessary.  When  all  errors  have  been  corrected,  Check  Errors  will  display  a  window  which  indicates  "No  errors  were  found." 


 Tips  for  completing  Applications  in  ULS  ULS  applicants  should  click  the  Next  Page  button  at  the  bottom  of  each  page  of  a  ULS 
 application  while  proceeding  through  the  application.  An  error  window  will  appear  listing  problems  with  the  current  page  of  the  application.  At  any  point  in  the  application  process, 
 BEFORE  submitting  the  application,  applicants  may  choose  the  Check  Errors  button  to  validate  the  entire  application,  identifying  problems  on  pages  which  have  been  currently 
 completed  and  missing  information  on  schedules  not  yet  completed. 
 If,  after  completing  the  application,  you  wish  to  review  it  before  submitting  it,  we  recommend  you  click  the  Login  button  to  save  the  application  as  “Incomplete”  and  return  to 
 the  ULS  login  screen.  You  may  then  login  to  ULS  and  access  the  Incomplete  application  from  the  ULS  Work-  in-  Progress  screen  at  any  time  to  add  or  change  information.  Use  Check 
 Errors  again,  if  necessary,  to  validate  any  new  data  or  changes  you  have  entered.  When  you  are  certain  all  information  on  your  application  is  complete,  click  the  Submit  button.  This 
 action  is  permanent.  The  Submit  button  will  initiate  a  final  error  check  of  all  pages  of  the  application  but  only  allow  you  to  make  corrections  if  errors  are  found.  However;  as  soon  as 
 the  application  is  determined  to  be  error-  free,  it  will  be  sent  automatically  to  the  Commission.
