Compound Versioning

A compounded versioning statement is displayed. Each time a plan certification (SPC) is e-signed it will be assigned a version number (1,2, etc.), and each time a dataset is confirmed it will be assigned its own version number (1,2, etc.). Combined together, a complete version number is generated (1-1, 2-3, etc.). Subsequent sets may increment one or both numbers and will be contained on a new Variation (A, B, etc.).

sh51c

Sign Application to Deposit

This step can be omitted if the plan is to be handed off to a legal professional for submission.

E-signing the Application to Deposit does not generate a new version number.

If the Application to Deposit needs to be changed after e-signing, use the Edit button  when Submission is "Turned Off."
