Solutions with the same name

If you submit a solution with the same name as a solution you created previously, and the first solution is already on the server in production status, the new solution will overwrite the original solution. To avoid this, use new names for each new solution you create.

If a solution with the same name was created by someone else or is already on the server but is not yet in production (or if you are not the Evolve Application Admin), you must likewise use a new solution name.

Data templates

A data template is a file that includes the headers you selected during the mapping stage. You must create a data template when you submit a solution for review. When you resubmit a previously rejected file for approval, you can opt to create a new data template.

To ensure that data template files are not overwritten, check the Auto increment data template name box on the Locations tab of the Options box.

After the solution is approved, users can download a local copy of the data template and input the data. Depending on the workflow, users can then run the solution to upload the data or submit the data file for review.

Submit a Solution that has been rejected

When a solution is rejected and returned to you for updates, do the following: 

1. Save the solution locally.
2. Make the required changes.
3. Click Submit and complete the wizard to resubmit it.

Data files

Data files that are created from data templates on the Evolve site must be submitted through the Excel Add-in. For instructions, see Use the Excel Add-in for a transaction.
