How to configure a Submission Process

Prompt Support Updated by Prompt Support

Permissions Required: Prompt Admin

 

The Submission process is an additional layer on the approval process, that includes a custom form to be completed when checking-in a document, and a custom checklist for when publishing a document.

To enable submissions you must have approvals enabled and an approval process in place. You can learn how to set up an approval process in the How to setup An Approval Process.

Submissions will replace the check-in process every time new document version is checked-in and the Document Author will have to complete the submission form before submission is complete.

When this document is sent to the approval process if the approver has the Publisher role it must complete the submission checklist before approving the document.

To enable the submission process go to Admin -> Manage Organisations and select Edit at the name of your organisation. 

Go to the Submission Process tab and Enable Submissions. This will also enable approvals, as the submission process requires an approval process in place.

Once enabled you can go to the Form tab and create your submission form and to the Checklist tab and create your submission checklist. 

They can both be disabled individually, 

  • If the Form is disabled only the checklist and the consultation will be available to approvers, 
  • If the Checklist is disabled it won't be visible to Publishers.
  • If Both are disabled, it is the same as disabling the submission process, it is advised to have at least one enabled if your organisation wish to use the submission process.

Note: These forms will be used in all submissions, it won't differentiate approval processes and sections.
