Date Help Submitter: The person who is entering the project. The submitter is associated with the project and will have the rights to make any edits. The submitter will be notified via e-mail once the project is successfully entered, verified and in the event that any changes are made to the project data. Project Start Date: Mandatory field. Please enter the starting date of the project. Project Status: Projects are usually either "In progress" or "Completed". However, there are cases when projects are conducted seasonally or are temporarily suspended for indefinite periods. Projects that fall into that category may be marked "Dormant". Project status can be changed at any time by people who are associated with the project. Project End Date: This field is not mandatory, since some projects can extend for an indefinite period of time and don't have any expected end date. However an error will be reported if an end date falls after the start date.
