This helps you avoid any mistakes and guarantees that your report is thorough and fully prepared before it goes live.

Frequently Asked Questions
Why am I not able to publish my report?
You'll want to check that all informational comments have an answer and that all sections are showing completed before you can publish if this setting is enabled! You can always disable or re-enable this setting.
How can I publish my FL Wind Mit/4-Point report?
Publishing special forms can be tricky as they do not always show as complete since you don't fill anything in on certain sections/items/comments if something is not present.
If you're trying to publish a Florida or Texas form, you will have to disable the "require completion to publish reports" setting in order to publish that report, and then you can re-enable it once the report has been published.
Why do I need to turn off the "require completion to publish reports" setting to publish my Florida Wind Mit or 4-Point report?
Currently, the way these forms are built, each section/item/comment does not need to be completed, but the incomplete sections/items/comments cannot be removed. These forms are heavily coded to produce the state-required PDF output.
While the forms cannot be changed at this time, we do have an open feature request for this. Click here to check out the feature request, add your vote if you'd like, and share any feedback.
Why are my Sections not turning green/checked?
Each informational comment requires an answer to be entered in order for the Section to show green/checked. Make sure you check that all of your informational comments have an answer!
