Use the Ready for Submission Wizard

The Ready for Submission wizard enables an assembly plan to be merged into the lifecycle of the existing applications applicable to the assembly plan. Merging the assembly plan copies all of its files into the lifecycle. Using this wizard, you can also copy paper publishing elements and create events and sequences if they are not already associated with the submission plan.

Note: You must have the appropriate security privileges of sequences and sequence assemblies to use the Ready for Submission wizard

To prepare an assembly plan for submission:

  1. On the homepage, click Submission Plans.
  2. Click the link of the submission plan which includes the assembly plan that you want to prepare for submission.
  3. Select the assembly plans tab and click the link of the assembly plan.
  4. Click Wizards from the menu.
  5. Click Ready for Submission.

    The Ready for Submission wizard opens.

  6. Do the following:
    Option Action
    To add submissions to lifecycle: Select the option Add Submissions to Lifecycle?.
    To copy paper publishing elements: Select the option Copy Paper Publishing Elements?. Selecting this option copies all the publishing elements in the assembly plan to the corresponding nodes of the created sequence assembly. The source Assembly Specific Publishing Settings Libraries (APL) settings for the publishing elements that are copied, will be merged into the target APL(s).
  7. Click Next.
  8. Do one of the following:
    Option Action
    If the events are already associated with the submission plan, in the Event creation page: Click Next. Move to step 13.
    If the events are not already associated with the submission plan, in the Enter Event Details page: Enter details for the event and click Next.
  9. In the select Event Plan page, select an appropriate plan from the Timeline/Event Plan option and click Next.
  10. Select a reason and enter comments for the reason.
  11. Click Next.
  12. If eSignature is enabled, validate your identify by entering your user credentials and click Sign in.
  13. If the sequences from the applicable applications on the assembly plan are already associated, in the Sequence Verification and Sequence creation pages, click Next. Move to step 20. Else, move to next step.
  14. If the sequences from the applicable applications on the assembly plan are not associated, in the Enter Sequence Details page, enter details for the sequence. Click Next.
  15. Select a reason and enter comments for the reason.
  16. Click Next.
  17. Choose the applicable procedure in the table below to enter an electronic signature in wizards:
    Scenario Steps
    When electronic signature and SSO are enabled
    1. In the confirmation page, select a reason and enter comments for the reason.
    2. Click Next.
    3. Validate your identity by entering your user credentials in the dialog box.
    When electronic signature is enabled and SSO is disabled
    1. Select a reason and enter comments for the reason.
    2. Enter user ID and password and click Next.
  1. In the Confirmation page, click Next.

    — A sequence will be created for every application listed as an associated application on the assembly plan, that does not have a currently associated sequence.

    — The created sequence will be associated to the event listed as the associated event for that application.

    — If no events are associated, the sequence will only be associated to the applications on the assembly plan.

    — If an existing sequence is associated and already has an assembly associated, the system will create a new sequence using the next available sequence code.

    — The sequence code for created sequences will be automatically set to the next available number, within the associated application, with a prefix of ‘P’.

  2. In the next Confirmation page, click Next.
  3. In the summary page, click Finish.

To know the status of the submitted job, click GO TO from the menu and click Job Requests. Upon the completion of the job request, the files are merged into the lifecycle.

Note:

— If merging any application from the list of applicable applications into the lifecycle fails, all changes to all applications will be automatically reverted.

— If the changes are successfully merged and you then want to make changes to the submission that was merged, all the created sequence assemblies must be deleted and the changes must be made in the assembly plan. Sequence assemblies must be created again using the Ready for Submission Wizard to reflect the changes made to the submission.

— When an assembly plan is merged to sequence assemblies, there will be no synchronization between that assembly plan and the sequence assemblies.

— The leaf statuses of leaf elements in the assembly plan are not updated during the Ready for Submission wizard execution and after the wizard is finished.

Order of the copied elements in the target Assembly

The order of the copied elements in the target Assembly will be based on the number attribute.

If there are several nodes with the same number, the newly copied ones will be added to the end under the appropriate parent. The nodes with the number attribute which ends with a letter (Example: 2.3.S, 2.3.P, 2.3.A, 2.3.R) will be placed in the following order:

  1. x.x.S
  2. x.x.P
  3. x.x.A 4. x.x.R
