Third Party Question - Add Submit Button
Despite providing instructions that using the Save button on the Third Party Question will make the response visible in the database, many who are completing recommendations for our scholarships applicants find this disconcerting. It's not intuitive. They are looking for a Submit button. It would be helpful to us to have a distinction between Save and Submit, because when I look at applications to determine if they are complete, recommendation forms that have been started or drafted, but not complete, appear to me to be complete. There is no way for me to tell if the reference is actually done completing the recommendation form.

Hi all,
Just wanted to update this as we implemented this idea in our 5.3.0 release in early June. I believe it should address the concerns you raise here. If not, please let me know.
We appreciate your comments - thanks for helping improve GLM!

I agree! I've had so many questions over the last few weeks from references. The current set up is not intuitive.

This is a great idea. We do not use the Third Party Question like many other foundations. We use it for executive directors, superintendents, etc. to give their approval for an application. I also receive several emails and telephones calls of applicants stating they are not sure if it was sent, have they received approval, or what they need to do next.
