To Respond to a Submittal (portal)
-
Go to the
Incoming tab.
-
Open the submittal from the list.
-
If you have not done it yet,
acknowledge the submittal.
(You cannot add additional reviewers until you acknowledge the submittal.)
- Go to the My response tab and click the icon to the right of the document you want to send a response for.
-
Click the
icon to the right of the document
you want to send a response for.
The document row is expanded to show three additional sub-tabs:
- My response - this is where you enter your response for the selected document, and for PDFs, where you can launch the PDF Markup Service to begin reviewing the PDF
- Additional reviewers - this is where you can invite other internal participants to respond to the selected document
- Attributes - displays the attributes of the selected document
-
Select your own response for the selected document, or if you have
responses from additional reviewers, you can use a summarized response instead.
To use your own response (whether you have additional reviewers or not), on the lower My response tab, select a response from the Response list (for example, Approved with comments).
To use a summarized response from your additional reviewers (instead of using your own response), on the Additional reviewers tab, click the menu next to Add reviewer and select Summarize responses.
On the confirmation window, click OK.
The most negative of all the additional responses received so far will be set as your response. For example, if you received two responses from additional reviewers, one being 'Approved with comments' and the other being 'Rejected', then clicking Summarize responses would set your response to 'Rejected'.
- (Optional)
On the lower
My response tab, in the
Comment field, enter a comment to send back to
the issuer about your response.
If you have responses from additional reviewers or forwarded submittals, their responses and comments (if any) are automatically added to this Comment field. You can leave the additional comments as is, or you can edit them as needed (for example, if you want to form a single response from all of the additional reviewer and forwarded submittal response comments).
- (Optional) On the lower My response tab, click Browse if you want to attach any local files to this response.
- Click Save if you would like to save your changes so far. When you are finished preparing your response, click Send responses.
-
When prompted to confirm, click
Send responses again.
