On the left side you may see the link See transitions. If that link is visible, clicking it will show you changes that have been made to the interview's Status and Result fields. The link Require notification, if present, posts a special type of transition record. It tells VSys that the next time a letter is sent to volunteers regarding interviews, and that letter only goes to those whose interviews have changed since the last time such a letter is sent, VSys will consider the interview to have been changed even if you make no changes here.
