Automatic Setting for "Submission Sent Back to Author" for Transferred Submissions

Transferred submissions do not have a system PDF when they are first received into a publication's EM site. A PDF must be built and approved before the submission can move out of the Transferred Submissions folder and ahead in the editorial workflow.

A publication may choose to have an Editor or editorial staff member manually send these transferred submissions back to the Authors or edit the submission metadata and build and approve the system PDF themselves.

Alternatively, publications have the option to automatically direct transferred submissions to the Corresponding Author's Submissions Sent Back to Author folder and to trigger a notification letter to the Corresponding Author. This also moves the submission to the Editor's Submissions Sent Back to Author for Approval folder.

Automatically mark submission as "Transfer Complete"

An additional setting allows publications to mark the transfer completed automatically when the Author approves the submission PDF. This also moves the submission on to the appropriate folder in the workflow.

TO CONFIGURE:

Go to AdminManager > Configure Cross-publication Submission Transfer > Configure Automatic Settings for Transferred Submissions.

Check the box to automatically send submissions back to the Author.
Select an Editor Role and Editor from the drop-down lists. (This Editor appears as the user who performed the action, Sent Back to Author.)
Additional option: Check the box to automatically complete the transfer and move the submission to the appropriate folder once the Author has approved the submission PDF.
When finished, click Submit.

If necessary, create a notification letter to the Corresponding Author and associate it with the ActionManager event, Submission Sent Back to Author. For details on letter configuration, see Create Letters.
