[Question] LEI status location on sign and submit

[dan-padgett]

We've decided that LEI status needs to be active for a filer to sign and submit. And because we can't retroactively fix a lapsed LEI (i.e. if their LEI was lapsed at the end of the activity year, we can't retroactively fix that), we can't use activity year LEI status for determining whether a filer can sign and submit. So, LEI status is separate from a lot of the other data on sign and submit once we start updating that page to reflect institution data for an activity year. How, then, do we need to change the design so that filers are aware of what the relevant data needs to reflect?

For example, do we need to pull LEI status out its current location and have it at the top of the page to alert a filer to whether they can submit? How, then, do we communicate that LEI status reflects current status whereas all other information tied to their LEI is supposed to reflect activity year information?
