Navigating through the form

On every page of the form, you will see a Form Navigation panel. This links directly to each page of the form, so you can click a page name to jump directly to the page you want. You can also click 'Next Page' or 'Previous Page' on the top or bottom of each page to move forward or backward through the form. For security reasons, your login session will expire after 20 minutes of inactivity. Saving your form or navigating to another page resets the timer. Please ensure you save your form as you go.

Saving a draft

Your form will save each time you click ‘Next Page’, ‘Previous Page’, or any page name on the Form Navigation panel. If you wish to leave a partially completed form, click 'Save and Close' and log out. You can resume later by logging in, opening ‘My Submissions’  at the top of the screen, expanding the relevant submission and selecting the form name.  

Draft or completed forms can also be downloaded as PDFs. In ‘My Submissions’ click the red PDF icon beside the form or, click on the ‘Download PDF' button located at the top and bottom of the last page while completing the form (’Review and Submit').

Submitting your form

Once completed, press ‘Review and Submit’ page listed at the bottom of the Form Navigation panel. Make sure you read your application carefully and ensure information is correct because once you press submit you can’t edit it. You will not be able to submit your application until all the required fields are completed.

When you have successfully submitted your form, you will see a confirmation page and will receive a confirmation email with a copy of your submitted form attached. This will be sent to the email address you use to login, or the owner of the submission if you are collaborating on the form. If you don't see a confirmation page or receive a confirmation email, then you should presume that your form has NOT been submitted. You can return to the My Submissions page of your account to view the submission status of the form.
