Submissions are processed similarly to an action plan. Tasks with the same leading number can be performed in parallel, while tasks with different numbers are performed sequentially.
First, the submission is entered, then it is evaluated by users, and finally a decision is made about its implementation. Task completion is signaled by moving the progress slider to 100%.
