Online Submissions: What do the different statuses mean in the Current Submissions tab?

  1. New means this submission was created in the last 2 weeks;  
  2. In progress applies to submissions which are being worked on but which you have not yet submitted and cannot yet be seen by the research team; 
  3. Closing status will apply to any submission you have created but not submitted when the relevant deadline is within the next 2 weeks from today’s date. This is so you can easily see and focus on submissions for which the deadline is near; 
  4. Submitted means that your submissions for this area have been sent to Chambers, although they can still be edited and updated before the deadline shown.
