Start an extended submission

You can start a new extended submission process from an email or the Cases & Documents folder in Outlook, or from WorkZone Client. See Start a new process.

Start submission process

1. Open a case, for example, in WorkZone Client or from the Cases & Documents pane in Outlook.
2. Click Process on the ribbon. If you are starting the process from your Outlook inbox, and the email has been saved on multiple cases, then select a case from the list of cases.
3. Click Submission (Extended).
4. The Start Submission (Extended) dialog box opens. The case title is inserted automatically into the Title field.



5. Optionally, select a deadline.

   If the extended submission process is part of a phase process, the deadline of the current phase with a deadline is suggested. If the current phase does not have a deadline, then the following phase deadline is suggested, and so on.

6. In the Priority field, you can set the priority to, for example, High, Normal, or Low. Normal is the default value.
7. In the Description field, type description of the submission process.
8. Select documents for approval. Click in the Documents for approval field and select one or more documents from the list, for example, a case document and a saved email.
9. Select supplementary documents for submission. Click in the Supplementary documents for approval field and select one or more documents from the list.

   The Supplementary documents for approval field may include approved documents from the latest closed extended distribution process on the same case. If this is the case, you will see a message that tells you from which extended distribution process, the documents have been imported.

The process is started and is now visible in the Processes overview - see About the Processes Overview.

Notifications

On the Notifications tab, you can select employees that you want to be notified by email when specific actions are performed. Select which actions you want to notify about and who you want to send notification emails to. The Notifications tab is the same for extended and advanced submission processes.

The employees that you select here are typically not actors in the submission process. They are employees that you want to inform about the actions in the submission process. Actors receive notifications automatically. See About notifications.

The Advanced tab is the same for extended and advanced submission processes.
