Review upcoming submissions in Forward Look
Use the Forward Look Upcoming Submissions widget to see, filter, and group all upcoming project submission deadlines in one place.
This guide is designed for project manager.
Steps
Step 1: Open the Upcoming Submissions widget
From your dashboard, locate the Forward Look Upcoming Submissions widget showing a list of items with due dates and submission icons.
Step 2: Review upcoming submission deadlines
Scan the list to see each submission, its project, lifecycle stage, priority chip, and the due date with a colour-coded countdown highlighting urgency or overdue items.
Step 3: Filter submissions by lifecycle type
Use the lifecycle filter chips at the top of the widget to switch between "All" items and specific lifecycle types, updating the list and summary counts accordingly.
Step 4: Group submissions by project
In user dashboards, toggle the "Group by project" control to collapse the list into project-based sections, making it easier to review all submissions for each project.
Step 5: View project-level submission groups
Expand a project group to see all upcoming submissions for that project, including stages, sub-labels, and their individual countdown statuses.
Step 6: Understand overall submission counts
Review the summary metrics at the top of the widget to see total counts and breakdowns by lifecycle type, helping you gauge overall workload and risk.
Step 7: Identify missing or overdue due dates
Look for items with grey countdown text indicating no due date and red text for overdue or imminent submissions, so you can prioritise follow-up.
