Submissions¶

After an App is made, they can be used and distributed in the form of ‘Submissions.’ They can be filled out (like a form), and take the user input and manipulate it in the way that the business rules of the App tell it to. Submissions can also be distributed to other users and linked to so that your content can be easily distributed.

The Submissions Tab¶

When you select the ‘Submissions’ tab , followed by the ‘Review Submissions’ dropdown option , the ‘Review Submissions’ module will open:

This module is used to manage the submissions that have been made to any App.

Creating and Editing Submissions¶

This section explains how to create and edit submissions of Apps.

Opening the Submissions Editor¶

To create a new submission for the selected App, click in the submissions toolbar. This will open the Submission Editor.

You can also edit a submission by clicking on the button beside the submission name. This will also open the same Submission Editor.

Editing Submissions in the Submission Editor¶

After opening the Submission Editor, you can perform actions on your submission.

Click on the name of the App at the top of the tree diagram on the left-hand side to see the entire submission with all of the Pages.

The Pages under the list are considered ‘read-only’ and do not have any changeable input.

Click on a Page under the list to view that Page.

Changing a Submission¶

You may then begin to add or change input in a submission based on the fields given in the current Page. You may go between Pages and edit them without losing changes in another. Your edits do not need to be saved until you leave the editor.

You must click before leaving the editor to save your changes.
