When you open an RPA from your Worklist or route it, the application automatically refreshes the data. It lists the data that changed due to updated RPAs or manual data maintenance of person and position information.
You can also manually display new or changed data by choosing the Refresh button. You might do this after you:
Navigate to another window, such as the Person or Position window to perform data maintenance on optional RPA data
Enter RPA Extra Information that is also displayed in an RPA fields
For example, if you are processing a Realignment action (NOAC 790) and enter a new position's organization in the Extra Information, you can choose the Refresh button to display it on the RPA.
When you update an RPA to the database, the application lists all RPAs updated on that date for the person or position and any pending future actions. If in reviewing this list, you decide that certain actions affect pending actions, you can cancel, correct, or resubmit these pending actions as warranted.
For example, you might wish to cancel a pending a Within Grade Increase (WGI) if you are updating a Promotion action or to correct the WGI effective date to coincide with the promotion effective date.
