Easy Submittal of Auxiliary E-Forms John Robbins, Staff Officer-Information Services Division 7
Due to some issues with AUXDATA II, many members prefer to continue submitting their activities that are not reported on the 7029 via the Auxiliary E-Forms http://forms. cgaux.org/email1.php. Since many browsers do not run JavaScript (required for the Auxiliary forms), you may have had problems submitting the forms electronically. If you get the “yellow page” as the first page of a 7030, then your browser will not work. Sometimes you may not get the yellow page, like in Internet Explorer, which should work, but the form will still not submit. Since Microsoft will stop supporting Internet Explorer in August 2021, and there are already security issues with it, here is a way to submit the forms explained briefly on the yellow page. It will also save you time reporting future activities using that type of form. 1. With the E-form open in any browser, save or download it to your computer. 2. Open it on your computer with Adobe Acrobat Reader. If Acrobat Reader is not your default appli-
INTERCOM
cation for PDF files, you have to do an Open with; otherwise, it will probably open in Microsoft Edge. If you don’t have Acrobat Reader on your computer, you can get it here: https://get.adobe.com/reader/. If you have Adobe Acrobat, you can use that as well. 3. Please fill out the form and save it using a name with the date submitted; for example, 7038 07AUG20.pdf. Be sure you have the email address for your FSO-IS or SO-IS in the Recipient’s email address box. 4. Click on the submit button. The next time you need the form, open the file, change the dates and anything else that needs to be modified, then Save As with a new date in the file name and submit. If the Auxiliary stops posting the forms on the Internet, I think you will still be able to submit them with this method. If they do not submit electronically, you can always attach the file to your FSO-IS or SO-IS email. Ω
