When someone fills out the Rigby Forum form online, two things happen:
1)  An email is generated with the form information which is sent to the President's Executive Assistant.
2)  The form information is also entered into a database that is used to store the submissions and references by other Forum pages for displaying the ones that have been specified by the Rigby Administration.

Clicking on any of the above links (Edit from . . . ), will give you the indicated list of submissions from the database.  To work with any of the items, simply click on the "Edit" button next to the Original Message displayed.  This will take you to a screen that displays all of the information in the database for that submission.

The four fields that you can change are:  Status, Post, Edit Submission and Response/Comments.

• Status:  Options are "New," "Pending," and "Reviewed."  Submissions are automatically marked "New" when they are sent.  "Pending" indicates that the submission has at least been looked at, and is under consideration.  "Reviewed" means that the submission has been evaluated and determined whether or not a response is appropriate.  Note that this does NOT necessary mean that a "Reviewed" submission will be posted on the Intranet.  (See next)
• Post:  The only two options are "Yes" and "No."  Easy, huh?  Submissions are automatically marked "No" when they are first sent, so that they will not appear on the Intranet.  But once you change this field to "Yes", both the "Edited Submission" and the "Response/Comments" will be posted immediately on the Intranet for all to see!
• Edit Submission:  If it is decided to share the submission with the company on the Intranet, you will need to complete this field.  If the employee's submission (displayed for you on this page) is okay "as is," simply copy and paste the question into this field.  Or if you want to correct or rephrase the submission, do so here.  What you enter here is what the Intranet users will see on the Rigby Forum, not the "Original Submission.
• Response/Comments:  This field can have three purposes:
  (1) Enter the response that the President or other designated person has composed to be displayed on the Intranet.
  (2) Enter a comment to indicate why the submission is still "Pending" or why it has been "Reviewed" but not posted.
  (3) Leave it blank if the submission will never be posted and anyone can see the reason why.  However, we recommend that when editing submissions, you follow one of the first two suggestions.

Other Data That You Can't Edit

• Submitted:  Date that the user filled out the Forum Submission Form.
• Action Date:  Today's date, when you edit or last edited the submission.  If the submission is posted to the Intranet, this is the date that will be displayed.
• Name:  If the submittor provided their name, it will show here.  Otherwise, it will say "Anonymous."  This information is never displayed on the Intranet, even if provided.
• Email:  If the submittor provided an email address, it will show here.  This information is never displayed on the Intranet, even if provided.
• Original Submission:  Original message submitted to the Forum.
