  To use the issue blocking status feature, users must first select the document they wish to block. Then, they must select the “Issue Blocking Status” option from the menu. This will open a window where users can enter the reason for blocking the document and any additional information that may be needed. Once this is done, the document will be blocked and cannot be processed until the issue blocking status is removed.
