Step 3 — Repair & Commit
Purpose
Step 3 shows your submission as a grid. If there are validation errors, KCFIS highlights the cells in red and lets you fix them in place — no need to re-upload the spreadsheet. When the row count of remaining errors hits zero, you can save and submit the submission for review.
Who can use this step
| Role | Can do |
|---|---|
| Submitter (own entity) | Edit, save, submit for review. |
| Reviewer (own entity) | Edit, save, submit for review (before review starts). |
| Administrator | Everything; can also reject back to repair. |
Layout
The screen has, top to bottom:
- The progress strip — Step 3 highlighted.
- A status banner showing the number of remaining errors (for example, 12/12 Errors Remaining).
- The data grid — one row per project entry; columns match the BTR template.
- An action bar at the bottom — Save, Re-validate, and Submit for Review.
By default, KCFIS filters the grid to show only rows with errors. Toggle to show all rows with the option above the grid.
Step-by-step
1. Identify an error
Cells with errors are highlighted in red. Hover over a red cell to see a tooltip with the rule that failed and what KCFIS expected.
2. Edit the cell
Click the cell. KCFIS turns it into an editable input. Type the corrected value.
For dropdown columns (Financial_Instrument, Climate_Use, NCCAP_Sector, Channel, climate markers), you must pick a valid value. The list is in the BTR Template reference.
3. Save the fix
Click outside the cell (or press Tab/Enter). KCFIS saves the new value. The cell is no longer red. The error counter at the top decreases.
If the fix changes a value that the validator must re-check across rows (rare), click Re-validate to run the rules again on the whole submission.
4. Repeat until the error count is zero
Continue cell by cell. When the banner shows 0/N Errors Remaining, the Submit for Review button becomes active.
5. Save your progress (optional)
If you need to step away, click Save. Your submission status becomes Saved. You can come back via the Submissions list and click Continue Editing.
6. Submit for review
Click Submit for Review. A confirmation dialog opens.
- (Optional) Add a comment for the reviewer.
- Click Confirm.
- The submission moves to status In Review (or directly Saved → In Review depending on configuration).
- It appears on the Approvals screen for the assigned reviewer.
- You can no longer edit the submission until a reviewer or administrator either rejects it back or you receive a rejection.
Reviewer actions on this screen
If you are a Reviewer opening a submission via Review, you see additional buttons in the action bar:
- Approve — approves and forwards to administrator. Optional comment.
- Reject — sends the submission back with a comment. The submitter can fix and resubmit.
Administrator actions on this screen
If you are an Administrator opening a submission via Review or Finalize, you see:
- Approve — final approval. The submission moves to Approved, then to Locked when you click Finalize.
- Reject — sends back with a comment.
- Finalize — locks the submission. The data is now part of the BTR portfolio and feeds the Dashboard and Reporting.

| Many rows still red after editing one | Error was a cross-row rule | Click Re-validate to refresh the error highlights across the whole grid. |
