Contributing a draft

In order to be discussed (or approved) at a meeting, a draft should be "contributed" to that meeting, i.e. embedded in a contribution for that meeting.

There are several ways to contribute an uploaded draft (full details here).

  1. immediately after upload by following the instruction on the upload confirmation window.
  2. at a later stage by clicking on the Contribute draft icon next to a draft version.

Changing the status of an available draft

When clicking on the Update icon icon, the upload pop-up will also allow some users (depending on their access rights) to update the maturity status of the last uploaded draft (eg: from Stable to Final draft).

When changing the status of an existing draft version, it is necessary to provide the following information:

  • targeted maturity milestone of the updated draft version
  • Comments (optional)

In the Work Programme schedule database, the corresponding achieved date for the targeted milestone is then updated with the current date.

If the targeted maturity milestone has already been marked as achieved, then a new schedule line is inserted with relevant achieved date and version.

Managing target dates for Work Item milestones

Only rapporteurs and Officials have the rights to modify the target dates of their Work Items. Rapporteurs can update target dates for maturity milestones, i.e. the “early draft”, “Stable Draft”, and “Final draft” target dates. Additionally, officials (Chair and Vice-Chairs) have the right to update the decision milestones: "WG approval", and "TB approval".

To do so click on the Update icon icon (same icon as to upload a new draft).

Then, from the the Manage drafts pop-up, click on the Manage target dates button

Manage drafts.png

A second pop-up window will open:

Manage target dates.png

The system will then let the user enter and save new target dates dates for the milestones.

Managing drafts upload path and folders

Upon upload, drafts are stored on DocBox, in a dedicated sub-folder of the Technical Body root path.

This folder is usually named "Drafts" or "70-Drafts".

The portal allows ETSI support staff (and Rapporteurs ?) to tune the way drafts are stored within that folder.

For each Work Item, it is possible to :

  • Create an optional sub-path which can be used to define a structure under the "Drafts" folder and to group WIs in sub-folders ( e.g. by release, by topic, by feature ...).
    Default value is empty
  • Create an optional WI folder where successive draft versions will be uploaded.
    Default value = Raw WI number
Manage WI path and folder icon
Manage WI path and folder icon

It is also possible to choose a flat structure: by configuring no sub-path and no WI-folder, all drafts and draft versions will be uploaded directly in the "Drafts" folder without any sub-structure.


This functionality is accessible via the Manage upload path icon which is visible on the Latest Draft application next to each Work Item reference.
