You can basically do all of this now.<br class="">
<br class="">
Your "Predefined Drop Off(PDO)" is what ZendTo calls a "request for
a drop-off". There is a button on the main menu to do exactly this.<br class="">
You can send these to multiple recipients by putting multiple email
addresses in the "Request a drop-off" form, just separate them with
commas or spaces.<br class="">
<br class="">
The rest of it you can do with ZendTo's automation feature, where
you can create a "request for a drop-off" from the command-line, and
hence from a script. You would need to write something to tie that
in to your existing coursework management system, but the scripts
that drive ZendTo automatically are actually nothing more than a
long "curl" command to do an HTTP POST operation that supplies all
the information in 1 hit.<br class="">
<br class="">
The automation stuff is documented here<br class="">
<a href="http://zend.to/automation" class="">zend.to/automation</a><br class="">
and there is a script called "autorequest" which automates the
"request a drop-off" process.<br class="">
<br class="">
Any more questions, problems, or any other way I can help, please do
no hesitate to get in touch.<br class="">
<br class="">
I work for a University myself, and have written coursework
submission systems before. A few of our academics use our instance
of ZendTo to get coursework submissions from students, especially
when they are large submissions like videos of interviews.<br class="">
<br class="">
Hope that helps,<br class="">
Jules.<br class="">

or Tender Officer) would then access ZendTO and create a
“Predefined Drop Off(PDO)”.
In this PDO, one would preselect or predefine all the fields
and options. The Subject,
would also be predefined, but would be used as a field to
group the PDOs. So,
for a Lecturer they would use the Subject to define the name
of the assignment
that the students must submit. A Tender Officer would use
the Subject to define
the Tender Reference. The Short Note Field could be left as
a free text block,
allowing the Student or Supplier to include a note. There
would also need to be
Start and End Date fields, which would define the period the
PDO will be active
for.</span></div><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0cm 0cm

to be an “Alternative” Interface for ZendTO. In this
“Alternative” Interface a
student or supplier could select the relevant active
Assignment or Tender form
a list of all active ones. On selecting the required item
from the list, the
normal process of “Requesting a Drop Off” would follow, like
confirming the
email address of the student or supplier via the
verification email. The link
in this email would open the PDO with all the predefined
fields and the student
or supplier can then upload and submit the information.</span></div><div style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0.0001pt; line-height: normal; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;" class=""><span lang="EN-US" class=""><br class="">
