The planning application tells iiCME what the activity is, who plans it, why it is needed and how it will be run. Open the Application tab. The sections are listed on the left with their status (not started, draft or complete). Click a section to open it.
Your answers are saved as a draft each time you click Save section or Next section, so you can stop and come back. Fields marked with a red * are required before you can submit.
Section 1: Activity Description
- Activity Title: the official name. It becomes the activity’s name everywhere, including the document folder.
