Allow Editors to Create Submissions in Production

Some publications use the EM/PM system solely for production tracking, placing new submissions directly into production. Editors with permission can enter a submission into the system directly into the production tracking workflow.

For Editor use, see Create Submission in Production.

Once the Editor creates the submission, the system immediately initiates production and assigns the final disposition term associated with the ActionManager event Final Disposition – Accept. After this process is completed, the submission is available in the Production Initiated – No Tasks Assigned folder.

Note: The only metadata required from an Editor when creating a submission in production are Article Type and Full Title. Any fields configured as required or optional for the Article Type are displayed in the Enter Metadata section of the Create Submission page, but the "required" setting applies only to Author submissions.

To Configure:

Go to RoleManager > Editor Role. Grant permissions to the applicable Editor roles:

Create Submission (in ProduXion Manager section): Enables Create Submission button Search People – Update Information page.
Search People (in Viewing and Editing People Data section): Enables Search People link on Editor menus.

These permissions together allow a user to search for the Author record from the Production Tasks menu and create a new submission from that Author's record.

For publications using Reference Checking features, the check can be triggered by creation of a submission in production. For details, see Reference Checking.
