Main Menu

This screen is the functional hub of the Acceptance Form, with links which allow you to access all the main functions. These are presented, using the Je‑S standard approach, under the following Headings:

1.      Document Data. This heading contains three options:

• ‘Edit Keywords’, which takes you to the 'Referee Expertise Classification - Keywords' screen, where you may edit/add the keyword/research topic combinations that are associated with your expertise;
• ‘Edit Response to Invitation’, which allows you to return to the 'Invitation to referee' screen and amend your decision;
• ‘Display Classifications’. This link allows you to browse the classification system by keyword, research topic or by drop down selection of the whole classification system. This screen does not allow any selections to take place. 

2.      Document Actions. This heading contains two options:

• 'Validate Document'. This allows you to check that your form is correctly completed and ready for submission. If there are any errors or omissions you are informed/warned and offered links that will allow you to make corrections;
• Submit Document. This is the final step in the process: it is equivalent to sending us a completed paper form. It is a requirement that you use this link to inform us that you have completed filling in your form and do not wish to make further changes.  If you click on this link, the system will ask if you are sure you wish to submit the form. If you respond ‘Yes’, the system will perform an automatic validation of your submission and inform you if there are any errors. If there are no errors your form will be set to ‘Read Only’ and submitted to BBSRC. You will still be able to view and obtain a print-out of your Acceptance Form if you wish, but you will be unable to change it without the assistance of the Je-S Helpdesk.

3.      Document Import/Export. This heading contains one option:

• 'Create Document for Printing' which allows you to generate a printed record of your Acceptance Form for future reference. If you select this option you will be offered a choice of either Microsoft Word or .PDF document formats, and you may also choose to view the result on screen or to have it e-mailed to you.

4.      Document Management. This heading offers one option:

• 'Show Document History' which displays a record of the actions you've taken while completing your Acceptance Form.

When you've finished completing the Acceptance Form you can return to your Je-S document summary by using the ‘<< Document Summary’ link at the foot of the screen.

NOTE: If you choose to leave the Acceptance Form without submitting it the system will ask if you are sure you wish to do so, and offer the choice of either confirming that you wish to leave the form (you will be able to return and complete nominations at a later date) or proceeding with submission.
