How to Navigate the Submission System

When you are entering data into the submission system, you may choose to sit down all at one time and progress through each question chronologically. Throughout the design of the survey, there are many questions that are required which will be indicated by a red asterisk (*). If you do not answer the required question, the survey will not let you proceed to the next slide.

However, if you need to temporarily skip a required question for now or jump to a question further in the survey process, follow the steps below:

1) Scroll down to the bottom of the window, hover over the button with numbers (e.g. 9 of 67) that is located to the left of the save disc icon. This button indicates what slide number out of total slides you are currently on. When you hover over the icon, it will read "See All."

2) Click "See All." This will bring up all the slides in a cascading fashion. You can use your right or left keyboard buttons, or your mouse to then navigate through to your desired slide. You can also click on the green bulbs. (These may appear as red if you have not answered a required question.)

3) After you have chosen which slide you want to navigate to, then resume filling out your application. You can return to this bottom menu at any time to see questions you have not answered or if you need to return to before final submission.
