The table features a single report that has already been submitted. The table has 6 columns titled: Status, Organization name, Reporting year, Progress, Version and Actions. The icon under the Status column is a green box containing a white check mark; the organization name is PCMR Testing; the reporting year is 2016; the progress indicates “Submitted (2017-02-27 9:07:09 AM)”; the version number is 1 and only the print preview icon is visible under the Actions column. Below the image is a legend for the status icons, which has 3 headers at the top that read, from left to right: Status icon, Signification and Explanation. The icon is green and has a checkmark on it. This signifies the report has been submitted. The explanation reads, “The report has been successfully submitted to ECCC”.
