Add or Remove the Initial Question

The Initial Question is controlled in the file /dspace/config/item-submission.xml

If you wish to change the initial question in for the default Submission process you can skip to step 3, to create a new submission process for a single collection start with step 1.

1. To edit the Initial Question for a single collection you will need to create a new <name-map> at the start of the document that include the handle of the collection and a new submission name. Image Added
2. The easiest way to create a new submission process is to copy the entire existing traditional <submission-process> tag and change the name to match your submission name. Image Added

3. In the <submission-process> tag you should see a comment and the tags for the first Initial Question step.

5. Save your changes, reload item-submission.xml and restart DSpace.
