To add a URL you will need to be logged in as a Developer or Control user. An action is attached to a URL and this action will then be available to a Public user.In the AIS application, a submission URL will be created that references the Submissions form. When the URL is provided to the users, they can add a submission and add attachments without having to log into the AIS application, as they will be a Public user.
To test the Submissions e-form, you will need to deploy the AIS application to the Development environment and in the URL add
/url/submission
