Complete a form

Open a form using a Home activity, the forms page, or a direct link supplied by staff.

Complete and submit​

  1. Read the form instructions and any opening or closing dates.
  2. Answer the required questions. Some questions appear only after a particular answer.
  3. Follow the limits shown for words, values, and files.
  4. Use Save draft if the form offers it and you need to return later.
  5. Submit and check that the page shows your submitted response.

Saving a draft does not submit it. If validation fails, review the listed errors and the first highlighted question.

Can I change my answers?​

Form modeWhat to expect
One editable responseYou can update the response; changes may be recorded in its history.
Multiple submissionsYou can create separate responses, each with its own draft and submission state.
One locked responseThe response locks after submission. Review carefully before submitting.

The form’s configuration determines which mode applies. A module-specific form, such as a project report, follows that workflow’s editing rules.

A published form may still be restricted by user type, cohort, working group, or submission dates. Send the form link to staff so they can check its access settings.
