Introduction
Welcome to this Empress guide. Today, we’re going to explore a powerful feature called Allow on Submit. This feature is a lifesaver for those moments when you need to make a change to a document after it has been submitted.
Why is the “Allow on Submit” Feature Important?
In a business setting, we often find ourselves in situations where information needs to be updated or corrected after a document has been finalized. Empress understands this need and offers the Allow on Submit feature. This feature allows you to edit certain custom fields in a document, even after it’s submitted.
It’s important to note that this feature is only applicable to non-standard or custom fields. This restriction is in place to maintain the integrity of your key business data.
How to Use the “Allow on Submit” Feature
Let’s go through the step-by-step process of how to use this feature. For this example, we’ll assume that we have a custom field named “Supplier ID” that we want to be able to edit after submission.
-
From your Empress dashboard, navigate to Settings > Customize Form.
-
In the Form Type dropdown, select “Supplier Quotation” (or the relevant form where your custom field is located).
-
Find the row for the “Supplier ID” field (or your specific custom field).
-
Click to expand this row, and you’ll see a checkbox labelled “Allow on Submit”. Check this box.
-
Click the Update button to save your changes.
And there you have it! Now, you can edit the “Supplier ID” field in submitted Supplier Quotation forms without having to cancel and amend the entire document.
Conclusion
The Allow on Submit feature is a powerful tool in Empress, providing much-needed flexibility for your business operations while maintaining the integrity of your critical data. This feature is just one of many ways Empress strives to enhance and streamline your business processes.
