Learning to Use SAAVI
SAAVI is a role-based system, meaning how you use it is determined by your responsibilities—either as a Liaison or a Reviewer. Liaisons are responsible for receiving email notifications for tasks, responding to task assignments, and forwarding tasks to Reviewers. Reviewers have the responsibility of approving documents assigned for clearance in SAAVI on behalf of their ICO.
