Publishing Forms Globally (For CIG Coordinators)

Requesting Global Publication of a Form

If you have created a form that has general applicability, you may want to make it available for use in all sites. However, only Sakai system administrator(s) can publish a form globally (that is, across all sites in Sakai), so you must send the administrator a request.

To request that a form be published globally, access the Forms tool and follow these steps:

1. If the Manage Forms page is not displayed, click the Reset button.
2. On the Manage Forms page, find the form you want to submit to the system administrator for global publication.
3. Click Publish Global for the form. Sakai displays the Publish Form confirmation screen.
4. To proceed with the request, click Yes. Sakai displays the Manage Forms page. The Global State for this form is changed to "waiting for approval."  Or, to return to the Manage Forms page without submitting the request, click No.

Publishing a Form Globally

If you are a system administrator, you may publish a form globally (that is, for all sites in a Sakai instance). To do so, log in and follow these steps:
1. Go to the Portfolio Admin site.
3. Access the Forms tool. Sakai displays the Manage Forms  page.
4. Find the form you want to publish globally and click Approve Global Publish link beneath its name. Sakai displays the Publish Form confirmation screen.
5. To proceed with the request, click Yes. Sakai displays the Manage Forms page. Or, to return to the Manage Forms page without submitting the request, click No.
6. The form is now available for use in all sites.
