In the figure below, a ''SHA'' is created and its status is set to ''Open''. A technical survey process is then conducted on the land, which results in changing the subcategory of the land from ''SHA'' to ''CHA'' and defining the land's perimeter. Next, a clearance process is conducted on the ''CHA'' that results in updating the status of the land to ''Worked On''. Finally, a completion report is submitted that updates the status of the land to ''Closed''.
