My Space

Your ‘Space’ is your centre for collaboration. This area allows you to share and receive submissions by interacting with other ReachLite users. Users will be able to review submissions of Apps and communicate between each other in streamlined email-like fashion.

Click on the ‘My Space’ tab image7 in the main toolbar to open your space.

Personal Folders

Your personal folders are the folders that you use to share submissions. Click on ‘Personal Folders’ on the ‘My Space’ toolbar to open your Personal Folders.

Folder Navigation

On the left-hand side of the module, you will see a tree navigation view, through which you can navigate through all of your personal folders:

image10

The ways the folders are set up are similar to how you would use your email; you have an Inbox, Outbox, and a Drafts folder. Inside these folders will be submissions that you are either sending out or receiving to and from other ReachLite users.

Inbox: Click on the ‘Inbox’ label image11 to open your inbox. This folder will have submissions that have been received from other ReachLite users. You will be able to review those submissions and communicate with the senders.

Outbox: Click on the ‘Outbox’ label image12 to open your Outbox. This folder will have submissions that you are sending out to other ReachLite users. You can also access your drafts from here.

Drafts: Click on the ‘Drafts’ image13 to see drafts of your submissions that you may eventually send out. You can also access this folder in the Outbox.

Searching for Submissions in a Folder

To search in a particular folder, select it from the tree navigation view on the left of the screen. You can also select the top item in the tree to search in all Folders.

Select a Recipient and an App Name from the dropdown boxes:

image14

Click on the ‘Search’ button image15 to find the submissions with the specified recipient or App Name. You can also leave the dropdown boxes blank to show the entire folders when you click on the ‘Search’ button.

Sending a Submission

Using Personal Folders, you can send submissions of your Apps to other users of ReachLite.

To send a submission, you must go through several steps. These are outlined in the subsections.

Select an App and Recipients

First, click on the ‘Add Submission’ button image16. This will open the ‘Select App’ window:

image17

Choose an App to send in a Submission. You can refine the list of Apps to choose from by filtering using a Location and/or an App Category/Subcategory.

Then, choose the recipients from the list of available recipients by moving them from the ‘Available Recipients’ box to the ‘Current Recipients’ box. For each recipient you choose, you can choose whether or not they can review the submission (explained in the next section) or limit them to viewing only. Enable the ‘Review’ radio button to allow the recipient to review it, or CC to disallow reviewing.

Once you are done selecting the App and recipients, click the ‘Add’ button image18 to bring up the submission editor.

Editing a Submission

Once you finish selecting recipients, you can fill out a submission of the App in the submission editor. (Submissions are described in a different section, and are handled the same way here).

image19

As you are filling out the submission, you can save a draft of it by clicking on image20. You can now exit the submission and return to it at a later time.

To save the final version of the submission and send it to the selected recipients, click image21. Once you save the final version, you will no longer be able to edit the submission.

To edit the recipients of the submission, click on image22.

To print the submissions, click on image23.

If the Page of an App allows it, you can click image24 or image25 to add or delete Pages.

Receiving and Reviewing a Submission

If you are receiving a submission by another ReachLite user, you will see it in your inbox.

The Submission tab will show the submission as it looks like at the present moment. The other tabs will allow you to add attachments, communicate with users, and see the events that have occurred on this submission.
